What you need to know
Players who want to constantly be at the forefront of Minecraft and Mojang Studios' tireless work can do so by participating in Minecraft betas and snapshots. On Tuesday, Mojang released a brand-new Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta to interested users, which includes further fixes and improvements for the Caves and Cliffs Update, as well as fixes for frogs hailing from a future Minecraft update.
Frogs are now bred using slime balls, and frog spawn are getting plenty of tweaks and updates. Vanilla Minecraft players won’t see these changes untilThe Wild Updateis released later in 2022, but it’s still important for Mojang to collect that feedback early. Beyond those changes, this is a relatively minor beta with a handful of fixes and technical updates for theCaves and Cliffs Update.
In case you missed it, Mojang Studios recentlyannounced Minecraft preview, a new game that will eventually replace the Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta as the best way for Minecraft players to play new updates early. This beta is still only available on Xbox, Windows, and Android devices, but eventually the new Minecraft Preview will be the destination for all new betas.
Whether or not you participate in betas,Minecraft is one of the greatest games ever made, and firmly earns its spot as one of thebest Xbox gamesof all time. When The Wild Update releases later in 2022, it’ll bring a ton of new features to Minecraft including the Deep Dark biome, frogs and other new mobs, and more.
