You Won't Believe What's Happening...

Hey everyone, Hope you guys had an amazing week! This week has been confusing with this week’s bedrock preview so today i will be discussing about this.

On thursday Mojang released a new preview being 1.21.50.28 which preview cycles do not usually last this long and is concerning as we should have been in the 1.21.60 cycle a couple weeks ago but i may know why.

The 1.21.50 update is expected to release the new pale/winter drop features as “experimental” but may not be the case when this update releases. The update is expected to release next month and the supposed version for it was 1.21.60 but may no longer be the case.

To release the new features in 1.21.60 they would have already started the cycle for it but has not so Mojang may just be releasing this new drop within 1.21.50 and when the update launches they will drop the experimental toggle.

I am aware that there are many weeks so 1.21.60 cycles could be starting soon however if they start it next week and is the version for the new drop then it won’t be releasing in December like we expected and would be some time in January next year. This is why things are quite confusing.

I think Mojang’s plan was to release the drop this year but it may be slightly delayed to next year if announce this. It just depends on when they start the next preview cycle and it’s features to see if they remove the toggle in that version or 1.21.50 instead.

This seems to be kind of a 50/50 situation so we will see how this plays out.

I did see a post on X this week about some news on the deferred graphics engine for bedrock however was not able to find the source who shared this and may have deleted the post but we may be getting closer to it’s final release soon.

Well everyone stay tuned for next week and let’s see if 1.21.60 previews start this week. Here is a cool seed to check out: 5172090044501194762
