There is a guide for this update!See Java Edition guides/Frostburn Update for a guide to all of the new features introduced in Frostburn Update.
The Frostburn Update is the name for Java Edition 1.10, a major update released on June 8, 2016. It added some new features such as skeleton/zombie variants in snowy biomes and deserts respectively, polar bears, structure blocks for saving/loading structures in worlds, and an auto-jump feature. The official name for the update, the Frostburn Update, was revealed on June 8, 2016, in a blog post on the Mojang website, the same day the update was released.[1]
Being the smallest major update, development began shortly after 1.9, the Combat Update, was released, and snapshots began the week after 1.9.3 and 1.9.4 were released, in mid-May. Only 3 snapshots and 2 pre-releases were released for 1.10, between May 18, 2016, and June 8, 2016. Mojang released the first pre-release on June 2, 2016, and the second on June 7, one day before the update was released.

Trivia
- The time span between the releases of 16w20a and 1.10-pre1 was only 2 weeks, the smallest time between, unusual based on Mojang's history, as 1.8 and 1.9 both took around a year or so to develop.
Further revisions
- 1.10.1 fixed "some of the most annoying reported bugs."
- 1.10.2 was released soon thereafter to fix a crash from 1.10.1.
