There is still a lot of time before the next major Minecraft update is released. Before one is launched, Mojang releases multiple beta versions for Bedrock players to test a few upcoming features.
A new Bedrock beta/preview has now been released. It is more focused on fixing the game's existing features rather than introducing new ones.
Minecraft 1.19.60.26 beta/preview comes with no new experimental features
Sadly, the new Minecraft Bedrock bets/preview comes with no new experimental features. Here are all the changes made in the 1.19.60.26 update:
Experimental features
- Some of the things planned to be released in the 1.20 update can be accessed by enabling experimental features.
- Players can now place hanging signs with double chains if they place one under an axis-aligned hanging sign with V-shaped chains. This will only work if the player does so while not sneaking into the game.
Commands
- A bug causing players not to wake up when teleported while sleeping has been fixed.
- An experimental change to the animation controller command has been reverted.
Gameplay
- An issue causing the "Inception" achievement not to be awarded to players has been fixed.
Graphical
- UI flickering on Android devices has been fixed. This used to happen when the keyboard popped up.
- In non-ARM devices, vsync settings are now correctly configured in options.
- After navigating to another screen, resource packs will be applied.
- An issue related to resource packs prompting the user with an error has been fixed.
- Highlight selection no longer highlights the entire card for transparent objects like saplings.
Vanilla parity
- Stone buttons and levers in Minecraft will produce the same effects in this update.
Touch controls
- The stack splitting feature in non-touch mode has been fixed.
Performance and stability
- Gliding through an End gateway could potentially crash the game. This has been fixed.
- Killing an entity with invalid functions, conditions, or pools entries in its loot table used to cause a crash in Minecraft. This issue has been resolved.
Accessibility
- This update brings good news for text-to-speech users. The new world creation screen will be available for them.
Technical updates
- Texts being slightly off-center for a few blocks, such as the furnace and blast furnace, have been fixed.
Before players try downloading and creating a new world in the beta update, here are some things they need to know:
- Beta versions are for Android devices, and preview versions are for iOS devices, Windows 10/11, and Xbox.
- Beta and preview versions are a work in progress and may be unstable for many users. It is also worth noting that this version does not represent the final quality.
- A world created in this version may not work properly in future versions of Minecraft.
