The Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.124 update can be downloaded directly using the official game launcher. Over the past few years, Mojang has essentially turned the application into a central access point to manage the Java and Bedrock variants and their various instances. Apart from accessing titles in the block-shaped universe, it also allows users to download updates seamlessly.

By default, the Minecraft launcher is set to check for updates, hotfixes, and patches every time the application is run. If a newer build is found, it is downloaded and installed before the game starts. This ensures that the latest stable version is always installed on your device.

However, you can get your hands on the latest Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.124 update on your Windows 10/11 PC manually as well:

1. If this is your first time playing Minecraft, make your way to the Mojang website or click this link to head over to the download page and get your hands on the launcher.
2. Download the official executable file and install it in your preferred file directory. Once the launcher is installed, sign in with your registered Microsoft account and get it ready for use.
3. Next, open the launcher and select Minecraft: Bedrock Edition from the sidebar on the left.
4. Proceed to the left of the green Play button to the small drop-down tab.
5. Open the dropdown and select the "Latest Release" option from the list of available options.
6. Once done, just hit the green Play button and wait for the launcher to download the required update files for the Minecraft 1.21.124 update.

During the update, it is advised to ensure you have a stable network and that your PC stays on. This prevents unnecessary corruptions or interruptions to your download. After the files have downloaded, hit the green Play button again to load the game with the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.124 hotfix successfully installed.
