Minecraft 1.18.20.23 Bedrock beta patch notes: Full list of changes and fixes revealed

Both Minecraft Bedrock and Java developers released preview versions on the same day. Java snapshot focused on bug fixes as Mojang prepares to release version 1.18.2. However, the Bedrock beta continues to move towards The Wild Update with the addition of new features and changes.
