v0.16.0 alpha, the first release of the Boss Update,<ref name=MojangPEPost>"Sneak Peek: Boss Update coming to Pocket & Win 10" - Mojang, August 29, 2016</ref> is a major update to Minecraft:Pocket Edition, Minecraft:Gear VR Edition, and the Minecraft:Windows 10 Edition Beta that was released on October 21 and 25, 2016. It adds many new features, such as Minecraft:commands, Minecraft:beacons, ocean monuments and guardians, as well as the Minecraft: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 Alpha development phase of the game – the next major update, v1.0.0, would mark the full release of Pocket Edition and its derived versions.
