Players will be able to play around with these items, provide feedback on what they think should and should not be included in the game, and report bugs or glitches with the new blocks.

This beta also allows players to craft new things with copper ingots, such as spyglass. More sounds have been added into Minecraft, such as different sounds for bonemeal, drowning and burning.

Players can download the Minecraft beta to give feedback on the game or to test out the new update before anyone else to voice their opinion on what they believe could be done to better the game.
