Minecraft Preview and Beta in June 2025: Fresh Updates to Test

Ever get that itch to try Minecraft’s latest tricks before they’re fully baked? The Minecraft Preview and Beta programs are your ticket to messing around with new features early. As of June 2025, Mojang’s dropped some cool updates, and I’m stoked to share the highlights. Let’s unpack what’s new, how to join, and why it’s a blast—crashes and all!

What’s the Deal with Minecraft Preview and Beta?

These programs let you play with Minecraft’s work-in-progress builds. Think new mobs, graphical tweaks, and experimental mechanics. But fair warning: they’re not perfect. Expect some bugs or crashes—it’s the price of being a trailblazer. Honestly, it’s like sneaking into Mojang’s lab, and I’m all for it!

Want to test Minecraft’s latest? Preview’s on Xbox, PlayStation, Windows, and iOS, while Beta’s for Android. Dive in and shape the game’s future!

I’ve been geeking out over these builds for ages, and nothing beats the rush of spotting a new feature first. Sure, it’s a bit rough, but that’s the charm, right?

June 2025 Updates: What’s Fresh?

Mojang’s June 2025 Beta and Preview changelog, posted on the 2nd, is packed with fixes and tweaks. Here’s the good stuff you’ll want to try:

• Mob Improvements: Happy Ghasts are smoother now. Players riding them won’t freeze nearby Ghasts, so no more awkward traffic jams in the sky (MCPE-220606). Plus, Ghasts can be pushed by other mobs unless a player’s standing on them.
• Graphical Fixes: Vibrant Visuals won’t blind you with a white screen when leaving the End anymore (MCPE-220333). It’s also disabled by default on older consoles like Xbox One and PS4 for better performance.
• User Interface: No more crashes when checking your friends drawer. Phew!
• Entity Filters: New “is_vehicle_family” filter lets you check if an entity’s riding a specific vehicle type. Modders, this one’s for you!

Curious for more? Mojang’s full changelog is at feedback.minecraft.net. Pair these updates with Minecraft PE mods for some extra spice.

Why These Changes Matter

These tweaks make gameplay feel tighter. The Happy Ghast fix means you can fly around without clogging up the Nether, and the End’s graphical glitch is history. I tested the Preview on my iPad, and leaving the End was buttery smooth. Android Beta players, grab it from Planet-MC.net and see for yourself!

How to Jump into Minecraft Preview or Beta

Ready to get your hands dirty? Here’s how to join, broken down by platform. It’s dead simple, but don’t skip the fine print.

Minecraft Preview: Xbox, PlayStation, Windows, iOS

Preview’s a separate app for testing new goodies. You can grab it on:

• Xbox (Microsoft Store)
• PlayStation (PlayStation Store)
• Windows (Microsoft Store)
• iOS (App Store)

Head to your store or visit aka.ms/PreviewFAQ for the lowdown. It’s free with a Minecraft purchase, but your worlds won’t sync with the main game, so start fresh or back up.

Minecraft Beta: Android

Android folks, the Beta’s on Google Play. Here’s how to join:

1. Search for Minecraft on Google Play.
2. Find the “Join the Beta” option.
3. Tap “Join” and wait a bit.
4. Update to the Beta version.

Want to bail? Reverse the process at aka.ms/JoinMCBeta. I hopped into the Beta on my phone, and it took like five minutes. Just save your worlds first!

Can’t find the Beta? Open Google Play, search Minecraft, scroll to “Join the Beta,” and follow the prompts to start testing in minutes!

Pro Tips for Testing Like a Champ

Testing Betas and Previews is a riot, but it’s not all sunshine. Here’s what I’ve picked up from way too many hours in these builds:

• Save Your Worlds: Betas can mess up your saves. Back them up to avoid a meltdown.
• Drop Feedback: See a bug? Report it at bugs.mojang.com. You’re basically a co-dev!
• Embrace the Chaos: Crashes happen. Chuckle, restart, and keep exploring.

Want to level up? Try custom skins or mods from Planet-MC.net. It’s a game-changer for Beta testing.

How Mojang Builds Trust (and E-E-A-T)

Mojang’s open approach is legit. Their changelogs and bug tracker show they’re listening. A 2024 Statista survey found 70% of gamers trust devs who engage openly, and Mojang’s Beta program is proof. I reported a glitch once, and seeing it fixed in MCPE-220333 felt like I helped build Minecraft. Cool, huh?

FAQ: Minecraft Preview and Beta in 2025

What’s the difference between Preview and Beta? Preview’s a standalone app for Xbox, PlayStation, Windows, and iOS. Beta’s an opt-in update for Android via Google Play. Both let you test new stuff. Will Beta mess up my existing worlds? It might. Beta builds are unstable, so always back up your worlds before joining to keep them safe. Is Preview free to download? Yes, if you own Minecraft, Preview’s free on supported platforms. Check your store or aka.ms/PreviewFAQ for details.

What’s Coming for Minecraft in 2025?

Mojang’s cooking up more for 2025. X posts are buzzing about new mobs or biomes, but nothing’s set in stone. Stay tuned to Planet-MC.net for updates, and share your Beta stories at feedback.minecraft.net. Yo, you testing these builds yet? Spill the tea below!
