1. Open the official game launcher.
2. Go to the Java Edition section and open the version list located beside the play button.

While Java Edition requires you to download a completely separate version to play with the new spring drop features, that is not required in Bedrock Edition. With the latest 1.21.60 update, Mojang has added all the said features to the stable version itself. They will be located in the 'Experiments' tab.

Here is how to check out the new spring drop features in Bedrock Edition:

1. Make sure that the Bedrock Edition is updated to the latest version.
2. Launch the main game and start creating a new world.
3. In the new world creation page, scroll down to the 'Experiments' tab from the left panel.
4. Toggle on the 'Drop 1 2025' setting, which should enable all the new features.
5. A dialog box will pop up, alerting you of the achievements. Accept it.
6. Create a new world and enter it to explore the new upcoming features.
