Hot on the heels ofMinecraft: Java Edition 1.18 Experimental Snapshot 5, which featured a brand-new batch of changes and tweaks forMinecraft’s world generation for theCaves and Cliffs Update, Mojang Studios is releasing a brand-new beta for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Players on the more modern version of Minecraft that have been looking forward to testing some of the more cutting edge features can rest easy, now, as this beta includes plenty of world generation tweaks that Minecraft: Java Edition players have been testing.
Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.17.30.23is now available, and players who create a new world with the “Experimental Features” toggle will be greeted by a new batch of sweeping world generation features that lead to a drastically different feeling world, many of which reflect the tweaks already present in the legacy PC version. Of course, outside these experimental tests, this beta is filled with smaller fixes and improvements for the 1.17 branch of the Caves and Cliffs Update.
You can install the new beta now to test the new changes and submit feedback. Keep in mind that, at least for now, world generation is apparently quite slow for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, especially on older devices. Thanks to the more significant changes included under the “Experimental Features” toggle in Beta 1.17.30.23, this beta is actually a decent departure from the last release,Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.17.30.22, released earlier this month.
Minecraft is undoubtedly one of the greatest games ever made, and has more than earned its place on the list ofbest Xbox games. Because of this, Minecraft boasts of an incredible list of thebest Minecraft toys and gifts, which includes something for any Minecraft fan.
