Typically, when players want to play Minecraft on their mobile devices, they have to do so through a version of the game that runs on the Bedrock Edition codebase.

Rather than enrolling in a dedicated beta program, Minecraft: Java Edition allows you to select a slice of pre-release software for you to try.

Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.7 brings a new painting and music disc to the game. It also fixes many bugs and improves how the game runs on some devices.
