It has not been long since Minecraft Bedrock Edition received the 1.19.11 update. Developers have already become busy tackling bugs and adding the required features to the game. Today, Mojang has released a new Beta and preview version for Bedrock Edition.

The upcoming Beta versions will mainly address bugs rather than introduce fascinating new features. Bedrock Beta 1.19.30.20 features tons of bug fixes and several parity fixes, and improvements to existing features. The highly anticipated Spectator mode, available only in Experimental mode, has also received bug fixes and tweaks.

Without further ado, let's take a look at the patch notes for Minecraft Bedrock 1.19.30.20 Beta release.
