The latest Minecraft Bedrock Beta version has officially been released. The first 1.19 beta has introduced several new features and updates as Mojang gets a little closer to the full release of the update. The Beta offers players a chance to try out new features before others do.

The Warden, frogs, Allay, and more have received substantial updates and bug fixes. However, the headliner for this particular update is the long-awaited arrival of the Mangrove Swamp biome and mud blocks.

Here's how to do just that for players interested in downloading the latest Beta and getting a headstart on these features.
