Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta 1.16.210.59 adds glow squids from the 'Caves and Cliffs Update'

Minecraft is dropping a new beta today for the Bedrock Edition, which adds a few more "Experimental Features" from the Caves and Cliffs Update. That's right, players enrolled in the beta program tin can install Minecraft Beta i.xvi.210.59 right now and test out the latest mob to join Minecraft: the glow squid.

In example you forgot, the glow squid is the mob that won the fateful Mob Vote during last yr's Minecraft Live issue, and therefore is going to be added to the game through the upcoming Caves and Cliffs Update. Autonomously from its titular purpose of being awfully bright, the glow squid drops glow ink sacs when killed, which can be used to craft new illuminated item frames for some dark bragging.

While mayhap not equally exciting every bit the contempo Minecraft: Java Edition snapshot, large things should be coming to Minecraft: Bedrock Edition in the near hereafter.
