Mojang has released a new snapshot for Minecraft Java Edition: 22w45a. It has tons of fresh features and, as usual, many bug fixes. In it, Mojang has finally added the seven default skins that were announced during Minecraft Live 2022.
Snapshot 22w45a also changes vex's texture in the game. The new appearance of the entities makes it clear that the evil spirits used to be Allays; players interested in Minecraft's lore will definitely like Vex's texture update. The developers have also brought Inventory UI changes for the Creative mode and more. Let's look at all the additions and changes in snapshot 22w45a.
