Minecraft 1.18.0.27 Bedrock beta patch notes: Full list of changes and fixes revealed

Along with the first Minecraft 1.18 pre-release, the developers have released a new beta update for Bedrock Edition. Players can now install this update on Windows 10, Xbox One, and Android devices.

To install it, players need to join the beta testing program. Their game will then be replaced with a test version of Minecraft. As the update date gets closer, the developers are now focused on improving the gameplay by fixing bugs. Like the pre-release 1 for Java Edition, this Bedrock beta fixes quite a few glitches and issues.

Things to note before installing this beta

• Beta versions can sometimes be highly unstable on a few devices as they are still under development. They also do not represent the final quality of the upcoming 1.18 update.
• Access to Realms will no longer be possible once the player has installed a beta version of Minecraft.
• Worlds created in betas cannot be opened in previous versions of Minecraft.
