What you need to know

  • It's all hands on deck for Mojang Studios as they fervently work on 1.18 'Caves and Cliffs Update' Part Two for Minecraft.
  • A new Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta is now rolling out to testers, but (like previous betas) only includes a handful of fixes.
  • Mojang is likely working on more significant changes in the background for future betas, hence more modest releases now.
  • Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.17.30.25 is now available for testers on Xbox, Windows, and Android devices.

It's becoming a busy time for Mojang Studios, between the upcoming Minecraft Live 2021 event and their continued work on the second half of the Caves and Cliffs Update for Minecraft, but work can't stop on the current version of Minecraft. Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.17.30.25 is now available for testers, and is a modest release with a handful of minor fixes for the 1.17 branch of Minecraft.

Mojang is undoubtedly working on more significant releases for both versions of Minecraft, especially since the latest Minecraft: Java Edition Experimental Snapshot is likely to be the last in the series, to more fully test features from the upcoming 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Update Part Two release coming later this year. We may learn more about what's planned for Minecraft with the Caves and Cliffs Update (and future releases) during the Minecraft Live 2021 event, which airs on Oct. 16, 2021 for anyone to watch.

Minecraft is the greatest game ever made, even when its betas are on the more boring side, and as such can boast of an impressive list of best Minecraft toys and gifts for any fans to enjoy.
