Available since Thursday, this is an extensive update for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Players can pick up the update from Minecraft Preview. Packaged into the release is a new music disc, loads of new tweaks and improvements. There is also a package for The Wild Update that includes features like frogs, a Warden, a sculk, and more. It has been a busy April for Minecraft. Earlier this month, Mojang launched its latest seasonal update called Luminous Night. This is the second Seasonal Adventure and provides glowing scenes in Minecraft Dungeons. It also comes with a new dark theme. Bundled into the update is a new Tower design that is specific to this theme, where players can visit new floors. Other areas will also be given the luminous treatment. Furthermore, Mojang is also adding a wildfire adversary. Back to the latest Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta, below is the full changelog:
