Minecraft PE Beta 1.18.30.28

The developers have released a new beta version Minecraft 1.18.30.28 and Minecraft Preview 1.18.30.29. Added boats with chests, made some of the changes, but most importantly - added Deep Dark biome!

Deep Dark

• Dig into the depths far underground to uncover the darkest biome in Minecraft - the Deep Dark
  • Dimly lit and eerie, the Deep Dark is sure to strike fear into the hearts of even the most brave player
    
  • The surfaces of the Deep Dark are covered in Sculk
    
  • The only mob that calls the Deep Dark home is the Warden
    
  • Please note: The Warden hasn’t made its way into the game yet, but it’s getting ready for its big debut!

Axes

• Vanilla Parity: Attacks with Axes towards a raised Shield will disable the Shield for 5 seconds

Boat with Chest

• Function similarly to Minecart Chests, but in Boats instead, so you can take a journey on the water and carry your things with you
  
• Crafted by combining a Chest with any Boat

Allay

• Allay now has a delay for picking new items after delivering items
  
• Allay will now only pick up the exact same item it holds
  
• Allays will now stay close to a Note Block that has been played near it
  
• Allay are now immune to damage from its owner
