How to participate in the Minecraft Beta program
Players can try their hands on the experimental Caves and Cliffs content by joining the Minecraft beta. Here are a few things to know before joining:

- Joining the beta will replace a player’s game with a work-in-progress version of Minecraft.
- Players will not have access to Realms and will not be able to join non-beta players while they’re previewing the beta.
- Any worlds played while in the beta cannot be opened in previous versions of the game, so players have to make copies of worlds to prevent losing them.
- Beta builds can be unstable and are not representative of final version quality.
- The beta is available only on Xbox One, Windows 10, and Android (Google Play). To join or leave the beta, players can go to aka.ms/JoinMCBeta for detailed instructions.
