Minecraft, one of the best kids games on Xbox, has a long-running beta available through Windows 10, Xbox and Android, and usually receives weekly updates to test future releases with bug fixes, new features, etc. Recent betas have focused on optimization and improvements for the Nether Update, before we start to see new features and testing for the much-hyped Caves and Cliffs update coming in Summer 2021. Today’s beta version, 1.16.200.57 is no different, including a handful of bugfixes focused on crashes and performance issues rather than new features.
The beta version is available now for testing if you are registered. If you’re looking to show off your Minecraft love or expand your collection, consider some of the best official Minecraft merchandise.
