A new beta update for Minecraft Bedrock is now available. It implements new experimental features to improve the overall gaming experience.
New Features
The new experimental features have something to do with Frogs. For instance, Frogs and Tadpoles now have sounds. Also, Tadpoles now have panic goals.
Next, three new Froglight blocks have been added, and they are Verdant, Pearlescent, and Ochre. For those who do not know, these things can emit light.
To get these blocks, you need to lure a Frog close to a small Magma Cube. The Frog will then eat the cube and a Froglight block will drop shortly after. The type of block you get will depend on the variant of the Frog that ate the cube.
