Mojang has officially released the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.120.22 beta and preview, and this update is one of the most impactful in recent months. The developers have addressed one of the most frustrating bugs in Bedrock Edition – the end gateway portal glitch that occasionally pushed players into the void.
This bug, which made exploring the End dimension risky, has now been fixed, making hardcore gameplay much safer. Alongside this major fix, Mojang has also introduced new animated textures for copper lanterns and soul fire lanterns, giving builders even more visual variety.
