'''v0.16.0 alpha''', the first release of the '''[[Boss Update]]''',[https://www.mojang.com/2016/08/sneak-peek-boss-update-is-coming-to-pocket-and-windows-10 "Sneak Peek: Boss Update coming to Pocket & Win 10"] - Mojang, August 29, 2016 is a major update to [[Pocket Edition]], [[Gear VR Edition]], and the [[Windows 10 Edition]] Beta that was released on October 21 and 25, 2016. It adds many new features, such as [[commands]], [[beacon]]s, [[ocean monument]]s and [[guardian]]s, as well as the [[wither]] and [[elder guardian]]. The update was intended to be released on all platforms on October 12, 2016, when discussed at [[MINECON 2016]]. However, near the intended release time, a critical bug was discovered, forcing the release to be delayed by a few days. The iOS release did not come out until 4 days after the other platforms' release date due to a long certification process. This was the last major update in the [[Bedrock Edition version history#Pocket Edition Alpha|Alpha]] development phase of the game – the next update, [[Pocket Edition 1.0.0|1.0.0]], would mark the full release of ''Pocket Edition'' and its derived versions. == Additions == {{Additions table |Beacon BE |Prismarine |Sea Lantern BE |Wet Sponge |Nether Star |Prismarine Crystals |Prismarine Shard |Potion of Decay |Splash Potion of Decay |Arrow of Decay |Elder Guardian Spawn Egg |Guardian Spawn Egg }} === Blocks === * [[Beacon]]s * [[Prismarine]] * [[Sea lantern]] * [[Wet sponge]] === Items === * [[Nether star]] * [[Prismarine crystals]] * [[Prismarine shard]] * {{Version exclusive}}: [[Potion]] of Decay ** {{Version exclusive}}: [[Splash Potion]] of Decay * {{Version exclusive}}: [[Tipped Arrow|Arrow]] of Decay * [[Spawn eggs]] ** [[Elder guardian]] ** [[Guardian]] === Mobs === * [[Elder guardian]] ** {{Version exclusive}}: Is considered a boss mob. * [[Guardian]] * [[Wither]] ** {{Version exclusive}}: When its health reaches 50%, it spawns 3-4 [[Wither Skeleton]]s (Normal and Hard difficulty only) ** {{Version exclusive}}: New animation and sounds when created and killed. ** {{Version exclusive}}: New 'Charge' attack when its health is below 50%. === World generation === * [[Ocean monuments]] === Gameplay === * [[Achievements]] ** {{Version exclusive}}: More [[achievements]].{{Info needed|What exactly?}} ; Add-ons * Added user-created resource packs that can be installed by world.
