Minecraft PE Beta 1.17.40.21

Yesterday the developers released a release Minecraft 1.17.30, and today we have published another beta version, in which we fixed a number of errors and made various changes.

Experimentally

• The new world generation now works with the old worlds at an altitude below zero
  
• Copper ore is now generated up to Y=96, instead of Y=64
  
• Fixed a bug that made it impossible to fly at an altitude above the maximum value
  
• Flat worlds are now generated with Y=-64

Fixes

• A layer of snow will no longer create phantom blocks
  
• Hives are now properly generated in the world
  
• Non-fire-resistant mobs now avoid fire
  
• Fossils are now less likely to be generated and less likely to destroy structures
  
• Fixed a bug that caused cave entrances not to be generated on the surface
  
• The Iron Golem now appears only on solid blocks
  
• Fixed a crossbow in the hands of looters
  
• Fixed various bugs with the character editor
  
• The Yeti will no longer appear in the mountains

Technical changes

Unfortunately, Render Dragon in the previous beta reduced performance on Android, so it was temporarily disabled.

• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused animations to restart
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the formatting of the text on the plates to be reset
  
• The Render Dragon graphics engine has been removed from Android devices running on ARMv7 processors
