Minecraft beta is showing version number 1.18.20.25

Minecraft should show it's version on the title screen. Ask your friends what version number is showing on their screen, and compare that to your version.

The current official version from May 23rd is 1.11.4.

The current Beta version is on 1.13.something.

Hi Adrian Silva01,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. Based on your description, I'm assuming that you are referring to the beta for Minecraft Windows 10 edition, is that correct?

If your version number is higher than your friends, then you are playing on the Beta version and the only way to leave the beta is from the Xbox Insider Hub app. This issue can occur on the PC when more than one account has signed in
and launched the beta version of Minecraft. Therefore, if you have unregistered on one account, but at some point launched the beta version of Minecraft on another account, that other account will retain the rights to the Minecraft Beta.

One workaround would be to launch the Xbox Insider Hub on any accounts which have launched the Minecraft Beta on that PC and unenroll from the Beta via the Xbox Insider Hub.

After you un-enroll from the beta on every account on the PC, you will need to
uninstall/reinstall Minecraft to complete the removal of the beta version.

I hope this helps.

According to https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Bedrock_Edition_beta_1.13.0.1 it seems you opted in to recieve BETA updates to Minecraft.

As Beta versions are test versions and might contain unstable code, public servers do not update to Beta versions.

So if you wish to use public servers, make sure you only use non-Beta versions of Minecraft. If necessary, un-enroll from the Minecraft Insider Beta program, and wait until the next official update, or uninstall and re-download the latest public non-beta
version of Minecraft.

Hi there,

just to be sure. Did you do the following steps in that exact order:

1. Check if there is an update for the Xbox Insiders Hub on PC
2. Un-enroll from the Minecraft Beta via the Xbox Insiders Hub
3. Uninstall the beta version for Minecraft
4. To be sure wait a couple of hours (or a day)
5. Restart the PC during that wait time.
6. Try to install Minecraft again via your Library on the store, make sure to select the standard version and not the Beta version, in the situation that multiple versions show up. As alternate option try to install the version from store in case installing
   from library doesn't work.

Let us know the results

Your son is playing on the official release channel for Minecraft. His 1.12 version is currently the latest official version, whereas his friends have joined the Insider Program and are playing a beta test version of Minecraft.

His friends can either un-enroll from the Beta Insider Program, or you son can try to join the Insider Program and update his Minecraft to a beta version.

Be aware however, that beta version still contain untested parts, and the game can crash, malfunction and in turn destroy worlds if an error occurs.

If your son is still willing to test the Beta, he can download the free Insider app from the store, and join the Minecraft Beta.

Then he'll have to download/update his Minecraft to the newer beta version.
