Minecraft beta 1.19.30.22 patch notes: Everything you need to know

Mojang just released another Minecraft beta 1.19.30.22 for Bedrock Edition. This beta & preview version packs a new set of bug fixes and small changes.

Since the popular sandbox game is so huge, the developers are constantly working to remove all kinds of bugs that pop up.

Mojang has a separate game version for the public where they only test all the beta versions of the game. This is to ensure that the standard Bedrock Edition is not disturbed and remains stable.

Usually, these beta versions go unnoticed by casual players. However, enthusiasts are often interested in all the details and smaller changes they have to offer.
