Minecraft 1.2.13 Beta - What's New?

The developers have released a new version of Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.2.13, which fixes many bugs and adds several interesting changes.

This version includes changes that were in 1.2.10 Beta but did not make it into the release.

Changes

• Added the Friendly Fire (PvP) option, which can be found in world settings
• Adjusted vertical look acceleration when using a controller
• Added an on-screen animation, which can be disabled in game settings
• Added a search function to the in-game store
• Added a block palette! This means we now have (almost) infinite block types (and no more block IDs). It also means the game will be much more performant.
