Bedrock Edition beta 1.16.0.57

Beta 1.16.0.57 is the ninth beta version for Bedrock Edition 1.16.0, released on April 15, 2020, which adds more Nether Update features, more parity and fixes bugs.

Additions
The Nether features from Java Edition up until 20w16a is included in this beta.

Blocks
Lodestone: Respawn Anchor:
 * Crafted with 1 netherite ingot and 8 chiseled stone bricks.
 * Using a compass on it turns the compass into a lodestone compass which points to the connected lodestone
 * Works in all dimensions
 * Crafted with 6 crying obsidian and three glowstone.
 * Requires a diamond pickaxe or higher to mine.
 * Can be used to respawn in the Nether
 * It is charged with glowstone and can be charged up to four levels. Whenever someone who charged the respawn anchor dies, they respawn near it and the level goes down by 1.
 * When it isn't charged, it doesn't do anything.
 * Like how a bed explodes in the Nether, attempting to use a respawn anchor in the Overworld causes it to explode.

Mobs
Striders:
 * A passive mob that spawns on lava oceans
 * Can be saddled and controlled with a warped fungus on a stick, similar to a pig
 * Water and rain damages it
 * Can be bred with warped fungi
 * Can spawn with zombified piglins or baby striders riding them
