Minecraft Preview players across the wide range of support platforms can look forward to another build on Wednesday, courtesy of Mojang Studios. The latest pre-release Minecraft version is still built on The Wild Update, but does include various tweaks and changes aimed at experimental Minecraft 1.20 features like the Camel and chiseled bookshelf.

Minecraft Preview1.19.50.22 continues to refine and improve Minecraft 1.19 “The Wild Update” with a series of bug fixes and vanilla parity gains. Players who are more future-conscious can enable the experimental features for the upcomingMinecraft 1.20 updateand enjoy changes to how camels dash, heal over time, and walk. Chiseled bookshelves also get helpful tooltips for controller users and a fixed recipe to include more types of wood.

The Preview comes hot on the heels ofMinecraft: Java Edition Snapshot 22w43a, which included more minor Minecraft 1.20 alterations alongside sweeping changes to the Creative inventory menus and the addition of Player Report Drafts.

Minecrafthas long been considered one ofXbox’s greatest games, but recent updates have failed to excite some long-time Minecraft players. With Minecraft 1.20, Mojang Studios is involving the community more than ever before — and attempting to control expectations — by revealing its features and changes a piece at a time. The Minecraft 1.20 update should arrive in full sometime during 2023.
