• You will not have access to Realms and will not be able to join non-beta players while you're previewing the beta
• Any worlds played while in the beta cannot be opened in previous versions of the game so please make copies of worlds to prevent losing them

  • More than 100 items will be available for free. There will also be a range of custom accessories, created by the Minecraft team, available for purchase
  • The Character Creator is currently available to beta testers, but will also roll out to Minecraft Earth, as well as all other Bedrock platforms like iOS and Nintendo Switch, once the beta has concluded
  • Traditional custom skins can still be imported as before, on Windows 10 and mobile, using the following steps: Profile > Edit Character > Classic Skins tab > Owned > Import > Choose New Skin

Neat. Anyone willing to swap to the beta version so we can see what this looks like?

Quoted all the screenshots I took. Clothes weren't loading so I had to just do with what loaded.

Extremely extensive for what it is

... Huh, right, I guess the console versions couldn't really just accept a .png upload, this is a neat meet-in-the-middle solution

Less of a moderation nightmare if they continue to control skins top to bottom where they can. Opens up a lot of monetization options for them too.

I wonder if body sizes would affect pvp

Worked well for Roblox

Oh nice, I'm surprised that it took this long for this to happen.

 

[Aurongel]

It took them way too long to implement this, glad they finally have!

They absolutely do, or did. On the wii u, the pvp mode things you could do online, there would be a ton of people playing as the Baby Ghast, which is a tiny little white head and no body.

A bit complicated but if you play the Bedrock version across multiple platforms, hop on PC and you can upload a PNG from there. It should carry over to other platforms.
