The world of Minecraft stops for no blocky mob, as evidenced by the release of Minecraft Preview 1.19.60.23. Mojang Studios' latest pre-release Minecraft: Bedrock Edition test is far from the most exciting build we’ve seen, but it does include a number of new fixes and minor improvements for players to test.

Following the admittedly more excitingMinecraft Preview 1.19.60.22, the latest Minecraft Preview build is populated primarily by smaller changes, such as making it so that campfires no longer set fire to players or mobs, or destroy minecarts. The chiseled bookshelf block from theMinecraft 1.20 updatealso no longer immediately trips observer blocks when the world loads, making your secret bookshelf doorway a little more secure.

Minecraftmay already be one of thetop Xbox gamesyou can play, but there’s always room for improvement. Mojang Studios is currently working on the next major content update, focused on player expression and representation, which will include features like camels, hanging signs, and more. In the meantime, Minecraft Preview builds like this one will steadily improve the game.

In case you missed it,Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.19.50recently released with a ton of new features and improvements for all players. For those already on the latest Minecraft version, a newMinecraft Marketplace DLC lets you master the elements as the Avatar.
