Experimental Gameplay is a game option in Minecraft Bedrock Edition that allows the testing of new, unfinished, or work-in-progress features that could later end up being part of the core Minecraft experience.
Experimental Gameplay is usually enabled upon world creation, but it can also be enabled on pre-existing worlds.
Enabling Experimental Gameplay on a New World

Note: Enabling Experimental Gameplay on existing worlds could lead to severe world corruption.
- Stop your server and create a server backup.
