Monsters will only spawn in complete darkness. Please send us your feedback in the threads at, and search and report any new bugs you may encounter at.
We're hoping this change will make your cave spelunking trips slightly safer, but you'll still need to avoid falling in lava with a hotbar full of diamonds. We have another Bedrock Beta update today, and we've fixed a bunch of bugs! Also, we've made a fairly significant change to the way hostile mobs spawn - to test this out you'll need to enable the Caves and Cliffs Experimental Features. To join or leave the beta, see aka.ms/JoinMCBeta for detailed instructions
The beta is available only on Xbox One, Windows 10, and Android (Google Play).
Beta builds can be unstable and are not representative of final version quality. Any worlds played while in the beta cannot be opened in previous versions of the game so please make copies of worlds to prevent losing them. You will not have access to Realms and will not be able to join non-beta players while you're previewing the beta. Joining the beta will replace your game with a work in progress version of Minecraft.
