How do you get Into Minecraft Betas

Every week we release early versions of Minecraft updates to try out new features, smooth out the wrinkles and squish the bugs before they reach an even wider audience. It's a great opportunity for players like you to see the new stuff we're developing, before the official launch!



If the thought of experiencing new things for the first time has you excited, and you don't mind getting into a few bugs during the process take a look at your favorite platform below!



Be aware!



These versions are, by nature, unstable and could cause things to go wrong, weird, or wonky.



You might lose your game, or the items you've built could be corrupted. It's a small risk however it's a risk nonetheless!



These versions aren't able to access Realms and Featured Servers and can only be played in multiplayer worlds with players from the same version.





ANDROID



Disclaimer: You need to own the original Minecraft game to play the upcoming Minecraft features on Android.





Android provides an Beta program that can be joined at anytime. You can join this Beta program to replace your current Minecraft version with the Beta version.



Find the official Minecraft application on the Google Play Store to join the Android Beta. Scroll down to the "Join the Beta" section and click "Join". It will take a few seconds before you can launch your regular Minecraft application. Be aware that this could take some time, but eventually your app will be switched to the beta version. If you decide later to exit the Beta, simply go back to the Google Play store and scroll down to "You're beta-testing" and click "Leave". The app will then return to normal Minecraft.



Additionally, you might need to enable experimental features in the game to test the latest Minecraft features.
