Minecraft is still being built on 1.19 “The Wild Update,” the last major content update that brought new biomes, mobs, and blocks to the long-running survival crafting game. Mojang Studios continues to improve that update with post-release patch updates and fixes, all of which are tested beforehand in Minecraft Previews and snapshots.
On Wednesday, Mojang Studios releasedMinecraft Preview1.19.40.21, the latest build that is now available to interested players and testers on Xbox, PC, and iOS (and Android through the old beta program). The build isn’t the most exciting and lacks major feature additions, but does improve vanilla parity, the experimental Spectator Mode, and more elements of Minecraft.
