Minecraft beta and preview 1.19.50.25: Patch notes and how to download

Mojang recently released a new Minecraft beta and preview version 1.19.50.25. These beta and preview versions test all kinds of new features that the developers will add to the future stable game version. Mojang releases beta and preview versions to gather feedback from the community and see if the features are working as intended.

After Mojang's annual live show, they added all the upcoming Minecraft 1.20 update features to these beta and preview versions. Users can play around with these features by turning on the 'experimental features' settings. However, 1.19.50.25 is arguably the smallest beta and preview version with only a few changes.
