Unify Beta and Preview for Cross-Platform Compatibility and Features

Currently, Minecraft Bedrock's upcoming versions are split between Beta (Android) and Preview (iOS/Windows), which causes major problems:

Key Issues:

  • Can't play together: Android Beta users cannot join or see iOS/Windows Preview players, even as friends, and they can only join with the LAN environment. The game wrongly says "You must be friends to join" when you are in the party.

  • Features missing: iOS Preview lacks full Marketplace and Dressing Room features, while Android Beta and Windows Preview have them.

  • Confusing rules: Some platforms let you run Beta and Release versions together, others don't.

Why fix it:
Beta and Preview version can't work together, feedback quality suffers, and players are frustrated by broken upcoming features across platforms.

Simple requests:

  1. Make Beta and Preview the same version on all platforms so players can play together.

  2. Give iOS Preview full Marketplace and skin features like other platforms.

  3. Let all platforms run Beta/Preview and Release versions side-by-side.
