Beta 1.16.100.52 is the third beta version for Bedrock Edition 1.16.100, released on August 19, 2020,^[1] which added new commands, more parity features from Java Edition, technical changes, and fixes bugs.

/playanimation

• Used to run a one-off animation.

/ride

• Used to make entities ride other entities, stop entities from riding, make rides evict their riders, or summon rides or riders.

/structure

• Used to save and load structures without having to use structure blocks.

Brewing Stands

• Can now be crafted with Blackstone.

Farmland

• Now gives itself when pickblocked, instead of normal dirt.
• Can now be obtained using /give command.

Technical

• Updated Actor Properties. Two fields that were invalid and appeared in some vanilla content will now give a content error. The field 'value' on minecraft:can_fly and the property minecraft:foot_size should simply be removed from any entity files.
• Make boat use the Buoyancy Component. Added two new components, the inside_block_notifier component, which fires specified events when the actor enters or exits specified blocks, and the out_of_control component, which sets a corresponding actor flag, in order to make this possible.
• Added error checks to parsing of minecraft shareables items. Displays content log if item name is invalid or the array is empty.
• Attempting to load a custom material that is not defined no longer causes a crash. A proper content error is now thrown.
• Exposed new data parameters to control the behavior of Drop Item For Goal. This includes: seconds_before_pickup, cooldown, minimum_teleport_distance, max_head_look_at_height, teleport_offset, and entity_types.
• Exposed new data parameters to control the behavior of Harvest Farm Block Goal, including max_seconds_before_search, search_cooldown_max_seconds, and seconds_until_new_task.
• Updated the format_versionfield in geometry, particles, and animation files to behave as entity behavior files do.

• Aseprite
  • The UI now supports using aseprite JSON files for animations, which allows more advanced animations than simple flip books.

• Format Version Checks
  • Updated the format_versionfield in geometry, particles, and animation files to behave as entity behavior files do.

• SetBannerDetailsFunction
  • Now supports customizing non-Illager banners
  • Up to 6 patterns and colors can be specified.
