Wednesday often sees the release of a new Minecraft Preview build, and today is no exception. Minecraft Preview 1.19.30.22 is in the process of releasing to players across Xbox, PC, and iOS platforms, and it contains numerous changes across several facets of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.
The latestMinecraft Previewbuild focuses on vanilla parity, general stability improvements, and changes for several experimental features, including the in-progress Spectator Mode. There’s plenty to explore forMinecraftplayers, but this build doesn’t include any major new features or additions.
Some of the headlining changes include tweaking drowned spawns so they don’t appear in warm ocean biomes (a change that could be reversed), making it easier for players to access the Marketplace after it recovers from any network issues, and other smaller improvements like making the wooden bowls and glass bottles from soup and potions stay in the same inventory slot after usage.
In case you missed it, one ofXbox’s greatest gameswas recently treated to a new patch update in the form ofMinecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.19.20. The patch brought a plethora of fixes to all players, and a new “Create New World” screen for Nintendo Switch players.
