What you need to know

  • Minecraft: Bedrock Edition is getting treated to a brand-new patch update on all available platforms.
  • 1.18.10 includes dozens of fixes and changes, ranging from quality-of-life improvements to vanilla parity tweaks and more.
  • The update also lets anyone test out a handful of experimental features from The Wild Update, including frogs and tadpoles.
  • Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.18.10 is now releasing to all players anywhere Minecraft is available, including Xbox, PlayStation, PC, Switch, and mobile.

Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, the platform-agnostic version of Mojang Studios' legendary Minecraft survival game, regularly enjoys updates that bring fresh fixes, new features, and more. On Tuesday, Mojang began releasing Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.18.10, a patch update that encompasses weeks of previous beta tests and feedback into one sizeable release for players everywhere.

The new patch update includes well over a hundred fixes and improvements, with an impressive changelog spanning almost the entirety of Minecraft and the Caves and Cliffs Update. Highlights of the update include dozens of vanilla parity tweaks that bring the Bedrock Edition closer to its older sibling, the Java Edition, dozens more fixes and quality-of-life improvements, a long list of creator-focused changes, and more.

There are also experimental features hailing from The Wild Update, the next major content update for Minecraft. Starting with this update, any interested players can flip a toggle to access upcoming features like frogs, tadpoles, and sculk blocks. When The Wild Update officially arrives later in 2022, it'll bring new mobs like frogs and The Warden, the Deep Dark biome, and more.

Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.18.10 is now available anywhere Minecraft is, including Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Android and iOS, and Xbox Game Pass.

It's an easy assertion that Minecraft is the greatest game ever made, and that's partially because of Mojang Studios' constant deluge of updates and fixes over time. Minecraft is one of the best Xbox games you can play, and the 1.18.10 patch update makes it even better.

In case you missed it, the current Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta program will eventually be replaced by the new Minecraft Preview game, which is now available to test on Xbox.
