What you need to know
- The Wild Update is arriving later in 2022 with a ton of improvements and new features for Minecraft players.
- On Thursday, Mojang Studios released a brand-new Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta to test some of these changes.
- Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.19.0.24 (.25 for Minecraft Preview) is now here with dozens of tweaks, including a new item.
- The “recovery compass” leads players to the location of their last death, aiding in the recovery of lost gear and items.
Development on The Wild Update for Minecraft is officially in full swing for both versions, and Mojang Studios is showing no signs of slowing down. On Thursday, the studio began releasing a duo of new betas to Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Preview players, which includes a new item, plenty of tweaks and changes to existing features, and even a hint to an upcoming feature.
The “recovery compass” item that debuted with an earlier Minecraft: Java Edition snapshot now appears in this beta, and will lead players to the location of their last death. Mojang Studios also revealed it’s working on the highly-requested “Spectator Mode” for Minecraft, which won’t arrive in time for The Wild Update, but will arrive as an experimental feature in an upcoming beta.
The beta is now available to players enrolled in the Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta or Minecraft Preview, and is a surprisingly decent step forward toward the development of The Wild Update releasing later in 2022. When the update arrives, it’ll include new mobs like frogs, the Warden, and allays, new biomes like the mangrove swamp and Deep Dark, and more.
Minecraft is hands-down one of the best Xbox games available today, and Mojang Studios is intent on improving it further with The Wild Update later this year. Interested players can get in early with pre-release snapshots and betas.
The full changelog for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.19.0.24 / Minecraft Preview 1.19.0.25 includes:
General
Minecraft Preview on Xbox Series X|S
- Xbox Series X|S players may receive an error message (code
0x8b050033) when launching Minecraft Preview - Uninstall and reinstall Minecraft Preview to complete the update and resolve the error
Spectator Mode
- Some of our more eagle-eyed players might have noticed that last week’s beta and preview contained early functionality supporting the spectator gamemode, which was accidentally made available in the game
- We know that this is a top feature request for the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, and our developers have been working hard to bring you this feature
- We are currently working on developing the first iteration of spectator mode to get your feedback to plan for the next iteration. However, we still have a lot of work to do! The first iteration will not be finished in time for 1.19, so we will be moving it to an Experimental Toggle in an upcoming beta
- Until we have a more polished version for you, please consider that any content or maps built on this feature will not be supported as this feature will change and evolve
- We won’t be accepting bug reports related to spectator mode until our first iteration is released, as the feature is likely to change during development
Features & bug fixes
Recovery compass
- A new Recovery Compass can be crafted with Echo Shards which can only be found and are unique to Ancient City chests
- Unlike a normal Compass, the Recovery Compass will point to the last place you died
- If you are not in the dimension where you last died, or you haven’t died yet in your world, it will randomly spin
- It can be crafted with 1 Compass surrounded by 8 Echo Shards
- Echo Shards will be available as loot in Ancient Cities in a future update
Sculk shrieker
- Tweaked the Shrieking particles of the Sculk Shrieker
- Sculk Shriekers should not be triggered by Redstone activation
- Added
can_summonblockstateto Sculk Shriekers that determines whether a Shrieker can trigger a Warden to spawn. Only Sculk Shriekers placed during world generation in the Deep Dark and Ancient Cities will have this state set to true - Running away from a Sculk Shrieker during shrieking is no longer a viable way of preventing the summoning of a Warden
- The Sculk Shrieker no longer attempts to spawn the Warden in Peaceful mode
- The Sculk Shrieker now spreads the highest threat level amongst players in the vicinity, not the threat level of the closest player

Goat horn (Experimental)
- Goat Horn sound is now instant
- Added Goat Horn variations to the Pillager outposts
- Removed Copper Horn
- Although community feedback was mostly positive, the Copper Horn was a fun experiment that didn’t quite live up to our design goals, so we decided to remove it
- We understand people might be sad, but to be able to try out new and interesting things we need to be able to remove experimental features sometimes. This leaves space for even better features in the future!
