If you want to play this pre-release, choose the "Snapshots" profile in your launcher. Keep in mind that snapshots are unstable - they can break your world if you are unlucky - keep backups!

Changes in this version:
Removed the "game loop" gamerule
Now anything tagged in minecraft:tick will run every tick
Ticking functions now run before the world, not after
When overriding a tag, you now append instead of replacing
Fixed new block/item tags not working in commands
Fixed the /team color commands don't work properly

Fixed being unable to duplicate banners in crafting tables
Fixed the log crafting recipes producing only one plank
Fixed the wrong crafting recipe output for granite and andesite

Fixed the name of the chiseled sandstone recipe being cut_sandstone, not chiseled_sandstone

Sticky pistons drop their block again on one tick pulses
Fixed pistons not accounting for block updates triggered by blocks broken by the extending piston when placing moved blocks, resulting in duplication issues
Fixed frost walker freezing water even if there are mobs in the water

Fixed the language options being blank
Fixed the texture of lava and water being invisible when there is a block above

Fixes opening the spectator menu crashing the client
Fixed the game hanging on 'waiting for chunk' and/or fatal background exceptions when teleporting to new chunks in a busy gameloop
