Summary:
The ceilings and huge chunks of soul sand valleys and basalt deltas are mostly netherrack now and, not covered with soul sand/soil or basalts, unlike in Java Edition.
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to the Nether and find a soul sand valley and basalt delta
Look at the ceiling and the lower part of every chunk in the biomes
Compare it to the Java Edition biomes
Observed Results:
The ceiling and huge chunks of the biomes are mostly composed of Netherrack
Expected Results:
The ceiling must be covered with soul sand/soil or basalts, as well as the huge chunks. Only minimal existence of netherrack should be there.
Original Description:
Have you noticed that soul sand valleys and basalt delta in Bedrock is out of place? Well it is, because the roof is covered with nether rack, not soul sand or basalts
Supposedly, the roof is covered with soul sand/basalts, so the biomes 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 think not. The ceiling was not supposed to be covered with netherrack. Also, this is not what it looks like in Java. The biomes in there have netherrack but not as much as like those pictures I took in Bedrock. Also the ceilings in the Java are covered with block specific to that biome (Basalt ceiling/soulsand ceiling). Try playing in both Java and Bedrock, the locate the biomes. I wish you could send me some screenshots too
I also noticed this terrain generation bug, hope it gets the attention it deserves and gets fixed, since bassalt deltas looks very ugly with this netherack ceiling.
Definitely not intended, since soul blocks and basalt and blackstone generate just below bedrock layer in those biomes

John Mark, I think this is supposed to happen as in one of the Java snapshots, they added so that more netherack can generate in the new nether biomes.
