Mojang yesterday announced Minecraft players on Android, Windows 10, and Xbox One can now try out a beta of the Minecraft Aquatic Update. As advertised four months ago, this update includes new swimming animations, dolphins, water biomes, and more.

Players interested in the beta are urged to check out this guide, which explains how you can access the beta on any of the Minecraft Bedrock platforms. Once all worlds are backed up, and the beta is downloaded, you’ll need to check off “Use Experimental Gameplay” in the Game Settings to proceed.

Keep in mind that this beta does not include all the features coming with the Aquatic Update. Mojang mentions most features will come in future betas, and it is best not to toggle the beta off since it may cause problems with your worlds.

Java players are also getting a Snapshot today, and you can learn more about that by checking it out here.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
