Minecraft is having a relatively exciting day, with the announcement of Minecraft Live 2021 and the release of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.17.30.24 landing almost on top of each other. One of these announcements is considerably more exciting than the other, however, as the latest Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta tells a story of minor bug fixes and improvements rather than the major experimental features we saw in the last Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta.

While the previous beta included experimental features from 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Update such as world generation changes, this beta focuses on fixing a handful of issues. Still, every step is an important one on the road to the largest update Minecraft has seen in a very long time, and Mojang Studios can always use additional feedback.
