This guide is a simplified overview of all the changes in the Bedrock Edition 1.6 releases, which assumes at least some familiarity with the Update Aquatic (Bedrock Edition 1.4.x - 1.5.x releases).

Mobs[]

Phantom
Phantom
Phantoms spawn at night and during thunderstorms high above players who are above sea level, have no obstructions above them, and have not entered a bed for at least three ingame days.
  • Phantoms are the fastest mob in the Overworld. Players are unable to outrun them. A good strategy versus phantoms is to obstruct their path, since they fly up if they collide with any block during an attack.
  • Cats hiss at phantoms that are currently attacking players, and phantoms try to stay at least 16 blocks away from them.
  • Phantoms do not spawn if the player has a solid block above them, meaning they do not spawn around players underground or within enclosed structures. Additionally, they do not spawn if the player is below sea level.
  • Sleeping through the night is not actually required. The statistic that controls their spawning is reset when the player leaves a bed, so simply entering and then leaving a bed is enough.
