Changes
General

Experimental
These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Caves & Cliffs" and "Enable GameTest Framework" experimental toggle.
World generation
- In world generation, grass is replaced with stone (if generated near grass).
- Mountain tops are now more jagged and pointy.

General
- Added new world/cave generation when upgrading saved chunks below Y=0 using the Caves and Cliffs experimental toggle.
- Chunks previously upgraded with Bedrock underneath will not see this change.
- Upgrades older flat worlds to the new extended heights available with the Caves & Cliffs experimental toggle
- New flat worlds using the Caves & Cliffs experimental toggle will generate starting at "y=-64"
Technical
GameTest Framework
- Updated the GameTest Framework interface and added a new SimulatedPlayer capability:

- Added function removeSimulatedPlayer(simulatedPlayer: SimulatedPlayer): void
- mojang-gametest.Test type

Fixes
Experimental
- Fixed an issue in beta builds where flying above the world limit (255 for non-Caves & Cliffs experimental, 319 for Caves & Cliffs experimental) would be prohibited (MCPE-141360).
- Copper Ore now generates up to y=96 instead of y=64 (MCPE-125233).
General
- Holding Top Snow in hand while hovering over Grass Blocks no longer causes incorrect behavior (MCPE-140659, MCPE-140660).
- Bee Nests now generate correctly in the world (MCPE-141324, MCPE-132195).
- Non-fireproof mobs now avoid pathing through fire (MCPE-23835).
Gameplay
- Vanilla Parity: Players are now able to activate Elytra gliding while moving upward (MCPE-59580).
- Using Dye on Signs that contain formatted color text will overwrite the formatted color text.
World Generation
- Fossils are now much less likely to generate in, and destroy structures.
- Dungeons are no longer misplaced or missing outside of the Caves & Cliffs experimental toggle (MCPE-121708).
Mobs
- Iron Golem now spawns only on solid blocks (MCPE-140145).
- Wielded weapons now render properly on Pillagers and Vindicators (MCPE-141321).
User Interface
- Riding an animal now displays the correct button prompt when playing with non-touch controls.
Character Creator
- Back appearance pieces will no longer cover the left and right arrows in the profile screen.
- Fixed featured items in the profile screen not opening the featured catalog in the Dressing Room.
- Fixed default clothes changing color if another item’s color was edited previously.
- Sidebar options can now be selected in expanded view after navigating back from previously selected sidebar option while using controller.

Technical
- Fixed a bug that caused animations to be restarted when changing render controllers.
