Minecraft recently released Caves & Cliffs Part II changed the Overworld drastically and beyond any player's expectations.

After releasing such a massive update, Mojang Studios is now working on The Wild Update. Though it was announced to release sometime in 2022, developers have released a beta version this early in the year.

Minecraft 1.19 The Wild Update's development is going on, and some features are now available for playtesting. As a result, players can become beta testers right away and get their hands on Minecraft Bedrock beta.

More information about Minecraft The Wild Update's Bedrock beta

Beta testing starts long before an update's official release. For The Wild Update, developers released the first beta right after Caves & Cliffs Part II. Players can download the latest Bedrock beta and start exploring some of the upcoming features.

But before deciding to become a beta tester, players should keep the following in mind:

  • While trying the beta, Minecraft is replaced with a 'work-in-progress' version.
  • Beta players cannot access Realms. Non-beta players cannot play with beta testers in a multiplayer world.
  • Worlds loaded in beta versions cannot run on older versions.
  • Features shown in beta versions are not final and might change in future releases.

Players can choose to unenroll from the beta whenever they want and switch back to the official version.
