Gameplay mechanics

 * Build Mechanics


 * Facing down at an angle allows the player to place off of the front of the block without crouching and pointing their crosshair at it. (compensates for touch controls) This makes bridging as fast as sprint jumping possible, superior to any way of bridging in the Java Edition.


 * Redstone Mechanics


 * Pistons can push block entities, like chests and hoppers.


 * Armor defense


 * Damage taken only depends on the number of defense points.
 * Each armor point gives 4% damage reduction.


 * Enchantments and magic


 * Fire Aspect
 * Can be used to ignite TNT and light unlit candles and campfires


 * Impaling
 * Extra damage applies to all mobs when underwater or during rain.
 * Piercing
 * Piercing V or higher still makes arrows shoot pass through hit entities, instead of getting stuck.
 * Riptide
 * Deals splash damage (can deal multiple hits)
 * Sharpness
 * Sharpness adds 1.25 damage for each level.
 * Fishing
 * Fishing in jungle biome variants never catch tropical fish or pufferfish.


 * Patrol
 * Are called pillager patrols.
 * On easy, patrols can only spawn at light level 7 or less, on normal and hard difficulty, they can spawn at any light level.
 * On easy and normal, illagers are always pillagers, while on hard 20% of illagers will be vindicators.


 * Raid
 * Number of illagers that spawn per wave is different compared to Java Edition.
 * Raid captains are unused (cannot spawn).
 * Bell rings automatically when the raid bar fills up.

Timer is accurate (never displays as infinite)
 * Effect


 * Bad Omen
 * Pop up will show an animation similar to the totem of undying.
 * Amplifier doesn't increase by killing more raid captains.
 * Higher bad omen doesn't add extra additional waves to raids.
 * Isn't always there, it wears off after 100 minutes, whereas on Java edition it's there infinitely until triggered as a raid.
 * Fatal Poison
 * Obtained when a parrot is given a cookie.
 * Can hurt and kill both undead and non-undead mobs similar to wither effect

 * Tipped Arrows
 * The player can put a potion in a cauldron and tip up to a stack of arrows.


 * Useful Bugs
 * Block-placing bugs
 * If the player snaps their head down at the edge of a ledge, holds down their place button, and jumps up, it is possible to place a block in front and another one under it. Downward staircases can be created this way without the use of water buckets.
 * By sneaking, looking at the ground in front of them, and holding down their jump and place buttons, a pillar of blocks to the sky can be built without using scaffolding. This technique is similar to pillaring, but lets the player remain on the ground and place blocks twice as fast.


 * Miscellaneous
 * Dye can be mixed with cauldron water and even other dyes. This can be used to make colored leather armor and horse armor, and has been used to make art.

 * Desert Pyramids
 * If generated in a ravine or river, the temple's floor will be replaced by the bottom of the ground in a ravine or river, rather than just one block from a TNT shape.

 * The Nether still generates normally, but the 8:1 travel ratio is maintained, meaning that returning to the Overworld may cause the player to become stuck (due to the Overworld being only 256&times;128&times;256 in size).
 * Despite nether portals not being able to be activated, returning from the Nether to the Overworld will cause newly activated nether portals to generate in the Overworld (this is because nether portals placed with commands are not counted in the Overworld).
 * The End only generates the central island and sometimes the end fountain does not generate and the ender dragon sometimes gets stuck at the border. End gateways also don't work.
