The Minecraft Bedrock beta got its 1.18.20.21 update two days ago, on January 29. The update brings some changes and additions to the game, which can be tested and experienced by the community to get a feel for features that might soon make it to the main build of the game.
Bedrock is one of the staples of the game's current scene. While Java Edition is the undisputed king of Minecraft editions on PC, Bedrock edition reigns over on the console and mobile versions of the game. This comes from smaller file sizes and a plethora of additional features like items and achievements.
The new beta update brings a tweak to the frog mob that includes some behavioral and animation changes, renaming the "Frog Egg'' to "Frog Spawn'' and a bigger hitbox for Tadpoles.
This article will guide players through downloading or participating in the Bedrock 1.18.20.21 beta version. The update is only available on Xbox, Windows and Android versions.
