For the past few years, Mojang has been working hard to bridge the gap between Minecraft Bedrock and Java Editions. Previously, they felt entirely different, despite having most features in common.

Mojang Studios is now testing Minecraft: Java Edition 1.19 Pre-Release 1, which includes a fresh batch of bug fixes, changes, and technical updates for players to explore.

Minecraft: Java Edition has just dropped Pre-Release 1 for the 'Caves and Cliffs Update' as a snapshot, indicating an imminent launch.
