Xbox users can do the same on the same app, and Android users can find it on the Google Play Store page for Minecraft.
For the Preview, iOS users need to visit this website. Supported Windows platforms can visit this website. Certain Xbox users can get the Preview on the same app mentioned above.
When players get into the Beta and Preview, the Deep Dark won't be immediately found. Since it's a biome, it can't be located with a command, either. Gamers will need to venture out and explore the underworld to find it.
It will be marked by the appearance of Sculk blocks but will not have the Warden. The Warden is scheduled for an upcoming Beta but isn't available yet.
Mojang had this to say about the latest version:
"Hey! Who turned off the light? And the sound? It’s very dark and very, very quiet in here. Uh-oh. That must mean…no. Already? Well, judging by the glowing sculk blocks around me, the Deep Dark biome has made it into this week’s Beta!"
Mojang added:
"Come on down if you dare, there are sculk blocks to study and stealthy sneaking to be snuck. You don’t have to be super careful this time around, since you will truly be alone down here. But prepare yourself, a warden will arrive eventually."
