Minecraft news » Pocket Edition Beta 0.14.0 Available on Android

In case you missed it, Pocket Edition beta 0.14.0 is ready for testing on Android! It comes packed with loads of goodies, and you can get your hands on it and start testing for bugs and trying out the new features right away!

Currently the beta test is available to Google Play Store users, but keep in mind that this update will be coming to Minecraft: Pocket Edition and the Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition beta in the near future.

Here’s a quick explanation of how to join and leave the test group. We strongly recommend you make backups of your existing worlds first.

You will need three things to join the test:

• An Android device that can run Minecraft Pocket Edition.

• Minecraft: Pocket Edition Android purchased from Google Play Store.

• To opt in to the Minecraft Pocket Edition Beta.

The app will be automatically downloaded and installed on your device once you’ve joined the test. It can take a few days to appear, so please be patient!
