How to Play Minecraft 1.19 Wild Update

Experimental snapshots are a great way of beta testing all the earliest versions of the upcoming Minecraft updates. However, players cannot use these snapshots automatically from the main client menu, and are required to manually install them.

Follow the steps below to be able to play Minecraft 1.19 snapshot:

  1. Download the 1.19 experimental snapshot from the official Mojang website
  2. Unzip the archive on your harddrive

  5. Press Enter to open the Minecraft folder
  6. Copy the unzipped folder with 1.19 snapshot into the “Versions” folder

Now you need to insert the data pack into your Minecraft client:

  1. Open Minecraft client
  2. Go to “Installations” tab
  3. Select “New Installation” option
  4. Select “1.19 Deep Dark Experimental Snapshot” option
  5. Press Create and go back to main window
  6. Choose “1.19 Deep Dark Experimental Snapshot” in the versions
  7. Press Install and wait for completion
  8. Press Play once the installation is over

Minecraft 1.19 New Features
