Minecraft PE Beta 1.18.20.21

After a week of waiting, the developers released a new beta build Minecraft 1.18.20.21. This update makes some changes and fixes bugs, as well as a new test UI.

Features

The main change of the update was the public testing of the new interface. So far, it is only available in test mode for the world creation window.
