A large facet of how Minecraft has achieved the level of success it has is how Mojang Studios involves the community in ongoing development of new features and changes. The company does so by letting interested players test pre-release builds through Minecraft’s betas, snapshots, and the new Preview program. On Wednesday, Mojang Studios dropped the latest in a long line of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition betas.
Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.19.0.30 (.31 for Minecraft Preview) once again rests comfortably underThe Wild Updateumbrella, and includes dozens of changes and fixes for the upcoming content update. Players can look forward to updates to allay, wardens, mangrove swamps, sculks, and much more with thisMinecraftrelease.
Mojang Studios is also continuing to develop the experimental Spectator Mode, for which the studio is still not collecting direct feedback from the community. There are plenty of new changes to explore from thelast Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta, further cementing Minecraft as aquintessential Xbox gameto have in your collection.
In case you missed it, Mojang Studios is intending to retire the Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta on Windows devices and replace it with the newMinecraft Previewby the end of the month. If you haven’t made the jump to Minecraft Preview on PC, yet, this is a great time to do so. Minecraft Preview is provided for free to all Minecraft: Bedrock Edition owners on PC, and is also included in PC Game Pass.
