Posted: December 10, 2019

New Features:

PlayStation®4
- Welcome PlayStation®4 players to the Bedrock version of Minecraft! All Bedrock platforms can now cross-play with PS4™ consoles. More information can be found in the Minecraft for PlayStation®4 FAQ.

Bees!
- Bees are cute, fuzzy, neutral mobs
- Don’t hurt them, they don’t want to hurt you
- Bees love pretty flowers and spend their lives gathering pollen from them
- After gathering pollen, bees fly back to their nest
- If a bee can't find pollen, it will return home
- If a bee doesn’t have a home nest, it will wander around until it finds one it can use
- Bees don’t like the rain and they sleep at night. They will return to their nest in these cases

Bee Nests and Beehives
- Bee Nests generate in Flower Forests, Plains, and Sunflower Plains biomes
- When a bee visits a nest and completes its journey undisturbed, the level of honey increases
- Using shears on a full hive or nest will harvest Honeycomb and using a glass bottle will give a Honey Bottle
- Campfire smoke calms bees - Place one underneath the nest or hive to keep them in chill mode
- Redstone friendly! Dispensers can shear honeycombs from hives and nests

Honey Block
- Greatly reduces movement speed and jump height, but also reduces fall damage
- You can “slide” down a wall of honey blocks to slow your fall (Parkour FTW!)
- When a honey block is piston-moved, adjacent blocks also move
- When a honey block is piston-moved, entities on top are moved along with it

New Achievements
- Bee our guest - Use a Campfire to collect Honey from a Beehive using a Bottle without aggravating the bees (15G)
- Total Beelocation - Move and place a Bee Nest, with 3 bees inside, using Silk Touch (30G)
- Sticky Situation - Slide down a honey block to slow your fall (30G)

Leads can now be used on Polar Bears, Parrots, Ocelots, and Dolphins (MCPE-46866)
