We know what to expect by this point. It’s a new week, and Mojang Studios has released a new beta for Minecraft. Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.17.0.58 continues development on the positively gargantuan Caves and Cliffs Update, which is now releasing in two parts later this year. Building on the previous 1.17.0.57 beta, the latest Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta includes a handful of general changes, bug fixes, and more.
Unfortunately, there aren’t any new exciting features or additions in this beta. Mojang Studios continues to tweak and polish existing features, and is likely working to ensure the Caves and Cliffs Update split is as smooth as possible. This beta is now available for Xbox, Windows 10, and Android players now enrolled in the program, so be sure to download Beta 1.17.0.58 as soon as possible.
If you love helping Mojang Studios develop Minecraft by participating in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition betas, you might also love something from the best Minecraft merch, toys, and gifts.
