In order to take part in the Pre-release or get snapshots, you’ll need to open your launcher and press the “New Profile” button. Then call it snapshot and “check the box saying “Enable experimental development snapshots””. Beware though, because these snapshots can corrupt your in-game worlds. You’ll either need to backup your world or run the game in a different folder.
