Minecraft Bedrock beta 1.19.50.23 patch notes: Everything you need to know

Mojang recently released yet another Minecraft Bedrock beta preview version: 1.19.50.23. With the developers kicking off work on the upcoming Minecraft 1.20. update, they seem to be trying out all sorts of changes in snapshots and beta preview versions to see if they work well in the game or not.

Although these Minecraft beta and snapshot versions will not have '1.20' written on them, Mojang is taking it slow and steady with this update, revealing only those features that are complete. The latest Minecraft beta preview version comes with loads of smaller quality-of-life changes that can greatly improve the gameplay experience.
