So I got on Minecraft PE this morning and downloaded the new update. Shortly after, I made a new world with the seed 3689430. At the spawn point, there were several patches of purple grass blocks around regular sand! Is this a new update? The block wasn't in my inventory. I've had glitches before with grass coloring, but never purple! Please try out the seed and see what you think. I added a few pictures also. Thanks!
EDIT: I went on another seed (johnny appleseed) and found the same grass. It seems like this only appears next to sand. Could this be a secretly added thing?
I did some research on this. Apparently, grass next to deserts is now colored like that. I still want to know if this is a feature or a bug. I'm not sure, although it is rather weird looking. I don't understand why it would be implemented, especially without the block in your inventory.
I did some research because I was baffled (lol) by this too.I guess they plan on adding spells and potions and what not, because you need silk touch to mine this block.
Happened to me too. I was using a stronghold seed. The stronghold wasnt there, nor the desert village but a silver, green and purple savanna.
I'm starting to believe the issue with deserts (including mesas, which are a desert subbiome) suddenly being exceptionally rare to nonexistant in seeds where you don't spawn in either an ocean of desert to start with is actually bug and I hope they fix it. Aside from deserts being one of the very few biomes where villages can spawn, it's the only source of cactus, and thus green dye as well.
As for the purple and gray grass, I've been told in another thread I started that this is the "rainbow biome" glitch mentiond in the MCPE wiki and it's suppose to be fixed with the upcoming 0.9.2 update.
Form what I have found out it is called a courted biome it spreds from block to block I have found out there is many collors like purple gray or white blue and black even the grass and sugercane is effected it is verry odd I dont think it is perhaps a glitch or bug I think jeb is planing on doing something with it my guess is it is going to have something with witchcraft a wizardry. I still have some tests to do on it.

Also, as you can see some of the grass is grey as well.

I tried it out, and this is what I got. It seems some spots only turn the grass grey or purple.
