Summary:
The roofs of soul sand valleys are not covered with soul sand or soul soil, unlike in Java Edition.
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to the Nether and find a soul sand valley
Look at the roof
Observed Results:
The roof is covered with netherrack.
Expected Results:
The roof should be covered with soul sand and soul soil.
Original Description:
Have you noticed that soul sand valleys in Bedrock is out of place? Well it is, because the roof is covered with nether rack, not soul sand or soul soil.
Supposedly, the roof is covered with soul sand or soil soil, so the biome doesn’t look like it has the same terrain structure as the old nether, or it is just replacing the floor of the old nether. This exists in Java, the one that has the development version fist, but not in Bedrock.
The developers aim to have the same features as possible for this update. Thus, this is definitely a bug.

i also thought the ceiling is supposed to be covered with soul sand and soil as what i saw during minecon but its covered in netherrack in bedrock. its looks much cooler if the ceiling is purely soul sand and soil
man i knew somethings wrong in this biome. the netherrack ceiling looks ugly on soulsand valley biome
I agree. The roof must be covered with Soul sand or else, it would look like any typical Nether Wastes. Soulsand Valley is perfect with its brownish palette.
