The Minecraft PE 1.21.62 update brings gameplay improvements, new mob interactions, and enhanced world generation. In this update, the main focus was to bring Bedrock Edition closer to Java in terms of how the world looks and feels.
Gameplay & Mechanics
- Creaking Heart: Now has a state where it is valid but unable to spawn a Creaking during the day.
- Sleeping: Adjusted wording for minimum players required to skip the night.
- Achievements: The “Monster Hunter” achievement can now be unlocked by destroying a Creaking Heart with a spawned Creaking.
- Collision: Improved detection between moving blocks and mobs.
Blocks & Items
- Iron Blocks & Items (Doors, Bars, Trapdoors, Weighted Plates): Now make iron sounds when mined, placed, or walked on.

- Resin Clumps: XP from smelting reduced from 0.3 to 0.1.
