The Minecraft beta program is a Bedrock Edition feature similar to the snapshot program on Java Edition. Essentially, the feature allows players to try out a test version of upcoming updates for them to report any bugs, glitches, or balancing problems with the update.
The beta program is also known as the Preview program in many cases.
Preparations for the upcoming The Wild update are in full swing. Since its announcement on October 16, 2021, Mojang has come up with three beta updates for users to get a taste of the upcoming content on various platforms of the Bedrock Edition.
The first beta/preview version, titled 1.19.0.26, added the mangrove swamp biome, mangrove wood, mud, and its variants and some bug fixes into the game. The second version, titled 1.19.0.24, added echo shards and recovery compasses into the game, along with the Swift Sneak enchantment.
The version also removed the copper horn added in the experimental version of the game and fixed bugs.
