Minecraft Bedrock beta 1.20.30.22 download guide

Minecraft: Bedrock Edition continues to progress after the release of the Trails & Tales update via its Preview Program. This set of betas introduces experimental features and changes as well as plenty of bug fixes based on player reports and feedback. The best part is that players can take part in this program and assist Mojang with bug reporting or simply enjoy the new gameplay perks.

One of the biggest upsides of Minecraft Bedrock's preview betas is that they're accessible across multiple platforms. Granted, the Preview Program can't be utilized on every device that's compatible with Bedrock Edition, but there is still plenty of variety across PCs, consoles, and mobile all the same.

If Minecraft fans are curious about installing the latest preview, it doesn't hurt to examine the process.

Minecraft Preview is currently available for players on Xbox and Windows 10/11 PCs, as well as those on Android and iOS mobile devices. As long as players have purchased a legal copy of the game, they can access the betas at no additional charge simply by downloading the preview. However, different devices handle this process a bit differently.

Downloading the preview on Xbox

1. From your console dashboard, open the Microsoft Store and then open the search field.
2. Enter "Minecraft Preview" and press enter, then open the preview's store page.
3. Press the download button. As long as you've purchased the base game on your account, this download should come free of charge.
4. After the installation is completed, you should be able to open the preview as an independent application from your dashboard or your game library.

Downloading the preview on Windows PCs

1. Open the Minecraft Launcher.
2. In the launcher, select Windows Edition to the left of the launcher window.
3. To the left of the green install/play button, click the button that reads "latest release" and then select "Latest Preview." Press the Install/Play button, and the launcher will download all the necessary assets and open the game afterward. If your version of the preview is out of date, you'll need to open the Microsoft Store app, then open your library and click "Get Updates" to make sure the latest preview is available for your launcher.

Downloading the preview on Android and iOS

1. On Android, open Minecraft's store page on the Google Play Store. Scroll down the store page and tap the link that reads "Join the Beta," and your game app should update automatically. If it doesn't, you can open your Google Play library and manually check for updates instead.
2. For iOS, download Apple's Testflight app and then head to the game's signup page to opt into the preview. Only so many testers are permitted at a time on iOS, so you may have to return to the page at a later date if signups are full. Otherwise, after joining Testflight for the app, it should update automatically. However, if this doesn't occur, you can open the App Store and head to your library to update the game manually. Keep in mind that you'll need to play the game regularly to avoid being removed from the beta program.
