Last week we brought you the Bees, and a lot of you have all been asking us what the entire update will be themed around. Well, bees are only one half of it, the other is bugs! We want to take things a little slower this update and get things right, so from now until the end of the year we are committing to bringing you all a better Minecraft experience, with less bugs and more frames!

Changes in 19w35a

Bees now try to avoid water



Bee Nests are now more rare

Bee Nests now won't spawn unless there is air in front of the front side of the Nest

If a player tries to sleep in a bed that is occupied by a Villager, the Villager is now kicked out
