Another week, anotherMinecraftbeta. Mojang Studios is releasingMinecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.17.20.23to testers on Xbox, PC, and Android today with a fresh batch of bug fixes and general improvements. Unlikelast week’s beta, today’s Minecraft beta doesn’t include any big features or changes from 1.18Caves and Cliffs UpdatePart Two, which is expected torelease later this year.
Instead, expect a solid number of fixes aimed at polishing 1.17 Part One, including fixing fall damage when travelling through an End Portal and making it so that moss blocks are broken when moved by pistons. There’s nothing too terribly exciting here, but Minecraft testers can still submit feedback while they wait for more significant changes.
