The latest Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta stops frogs from eating goats
The first Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta of 2022 included lots of additions and alterations on top of plenty of new features hailing from The Wild Update releasing later this year. On Tuesday, Mojang Studios released the successor to that beta, Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.18.10.27, with a fresh batch of fixes, including one big change for The Wild Update’s adorable frogs.
One of the stranger issues introduced in the previous beta was the realization that frogs, included as an experimental feature for those who wish to experience The Wild Update even earlier, possessed the ability to devour goats whole erroneously. This humorous glitch has, of course, been patched in the new beta, although some players may be saddened that their frogs will no longer crave entire goats. This fix is included in addition to the decent handful of bug fixes and resolutions targeting 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Update Part Two released in late 2021.
Minecraft is one of the greatest games ever made, and holds on to its title as one of the best Xbox games by continually evolving with new features and content. In case you missed it, Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.18.2 was recently released as a patch update with a variety of fixes and improvements for the game.
