How to join Caves and Cliffs-themed Minecraft Bedrock Beta: Step-by-step guide for Windows, Xbox, and Android

The newest, upcoming update for Minecraft, v1.17 or Caves and Cliffs update, is one that is set to bring some sweeping changes to the game. The upcoming update has the player base extremely excited as the already revealed information about the update looks fairly interesting.

Minecraft has evolved by leaps and bounds over the years, to the point, that the game is nigh unrecognizable from its earliest iteration. The update, Caves and Cliffs, is set to make its way onto Minecraft in mid-2021.

This means that the update is still a ways off. However, there is a way by which players can get access to some of the new content. By entering the Beta in the Bedrock version of Minecraft, players will essentially be assisting in the process of development.

This way, players will have access to some of the new content planned for the game, but there are certain trade-offs that must be made.
