Wandering Trader, Shields and more now in beta!

Available on Xbox One, Windows 10 Edition and Android!

Have you tried playing a Minecraft beta? It's where we test upcoming features of the game! To try these features, you have to play a version of Minecraft that supports betas (so that's the Windows 10, Xbox One and Android versions). You can learn how to sign up for a Minecraft beta on each version here. You can also find more help regarding this specific beta on our feedback site.

Remember, beta features can be unstable. The reason we want players to try them this early is to give us feedback and catch bugs for us to fix – so make sure to backup your worlds!

We've added loads of stuff since the 1.9 beta, which added Pillagers, bamboo, new flowers and tons of new stairs and slabs! For a full list of changes and fixes, as well as a great place to give us feedback about the beta, head to our feedback site.

EXPERIMENTAL GAMEPLAY FEATURES

These features are only available when Experimental Gameplay is enabled in world settings.

MEET THE WANDERING TRADER

Accompanied by a fancy custom llama!

THE RAVAGER

Run, chicken, run!

We’ve added the Ravager mob, formerly known as the Illager beast! Additional behaviour and tweaks will be added in a future update.

NEW BLOCKS

We've added in the basic blocks to this beta, which can be used for decoration, at least for now. Future functionality will be added at a later date!

NEW FEATURES

But that’s not all! We’ve added loooooooads more features. In fact, this is probably one of our biggest beta releases ever! For the full list of features, head to this page of our Feedback Site and don’t forget to give us your all-important feedback too!

Enjoy the beta!
