You can follow these steps to check out the latest Snapshot Updates to see how Mojang is continually improving the game.

First, launch up Minecraft Java Edition via the Minecraft Launcher.

Once you''ve done this, locate the Installations tab at the top. Click this to open a different panel.

Locate the Versions section in the top bar from the Installations panel. Find the Snapshots box and tick it.

Now you''ll be able to see the latest Snapshot in the drop-down menu on the Installations tab. Click the Play button to load your Snapshot.

Before you start playing a Snapshot version, make sure you back up any worlds or saves you already have. If you really want to check out the Snapshot, then we suggest starting a new save file, as playing on a Snapshot version can corrupt your original saves.
