To get pre-releases, open your launcher and go to the "launch options" tab. Check the box saying "Enable snapshots" and save. To switch between the snapshot and normal version, you can find a new dropdown menu next to the "Play" button. Back up your world first or run the game on in a different folder (In the "launch options" page).

 

Please report any and all bugs you find in Minecraft to bugs.mojang.com.

 

Pre-releases can corrupt your world, please backup and/or run them in a different folder from your main worlds.
