The release date for Minecraft's 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update (opens in a new tab) is rapidly approaching however for those who don't want to be patient Mojang's Snapshots are an excellent way to experience upcoming features early.



Minecraft Snapshots are publicly-released test builds that are unpolished with features of upcoming updates for players to test. Mojang can take advantage of this opportunity to test out new features before they are part of an official update. If players wish, they can report bugs and give feedback to help Mojang to make improvements.



Snapshots include whatever the studio wants to try and could include new mobs, biomes games, game mechanics, or blocks. Snapshots include a variety of features from Caves and Cliffs, such as glow squids (opens new tab), cave generation and the lush fauna and flora can be found in the blocky caverns. If you're willing to accept some minor glitches in and out, Minecraft Snapshots are a great method to test new features prior to the official release. Here's what you need to know in order to get a sneak peek of the future of Minecraft.



Minecraft Snapshot installation How do I access beta builds



Snapshots are available for the Java version of Minecraft, but there is an option to preview early features on the Bedrock edition, too. These are the Bedrock betas for Android, Xbox One and Windows 10, which are not identical to Snapshots but they do include a number of new features.



Mojang has made the process of jumping into early versions of Minecraft quite easy So here's how to do it:



Snapshots on Minecraft: Java Edition:



- Open the Minecraft launcher. Select the tab "Installations"


In the top right corner, look for the box labelled Snapshots


The most up-to-date Snapshot will appear at the end of the list of installed applications


Beta on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition:



Visit the Microsoft Store app for Windows 10


Look for the Xbox Insider App and download it


- Launch the app and then choose the Insider Content tab on the left


- Select Minecraft and hit the join button


The app could take you to Minecraft's product page if you do not have a digital copy the game


If you're looking for Xbox One or Android instructions for Minecraft, visit Mojang's beta site (opens in a new tab) for more information. To keep up with new Snapshots and betas, save the Minecraft forum's news page (opens in new tab) that has a breakdown of all the versions that have been released.



Snapshots and betas are pretty unstable and the world that you enter could become a bit sluggish or even crash. You shouldn't load into a world you're not worried about being damaged. Also, it is best to keep your best Minecraft builds (opens in a new tab) safe in a different world.
