How to install Minecraft Java Edition Caves and Cliffs Snapshot: Step-by-step guide for beginners

The arrival of Minecraft Snapshots is always exciting as they are essentially a sneak-peek into everything new that's coming to the game in a future update.

Players can take a look at new features from an upcoming update and help the devs work out any wrinkles in the game ahead of launch.

Players can provide direct feedback to Minecraft devs when encountering glitches, bugs or game crashes. This enables the devs to create a much more polished experience upon launch so that players do not encounter any major hurdles.

However, players must always back up their Minecraft worlds as sometimes Snapshots can end up corrupting game files. Mojang suggests that players should either back up their worlds or run the Snapshot in a different folder from their main worlds.
