The much-anticipated 1.20 update for Minecraft will bring a plethora of new features, according to Mojang, the game's developers. Although some players may be disappointed by the lack of world-generation elements, there will still be much to look forward to. Some of the features are already included in the Java Snapshot and Bedrock betas and will be added to the retail version later this year.

When will the Minecraft 1.20 update be released?

The next significant Minecraft 1.20 update won't arrive until 2023, according to information provided by game developer Mojang at the October Minecraft Live 2022 event. We anticipate that the gamers will receive this update in April or June 2023, based on prior release trends. Although this is considerably later than the earlier rumors, hopefully the extra wait will be worthwhile.

Going back in time, June 2022, November 2021, June 2021, June 2020, and December 2019 saw the release of Minecraft's last five significant updates. The schedule announced now fits this pattern if we ignore the gap in the pattern caused by the pandemic year (2020). The 1.20 update's long-awaited official release date of June 7, 2023, maintains that trend.

The update, aptly titled "Trails and Tales," captures the spirit of discovery and narrative, ensuring a really stimulating experience for all players. Additionally, it centres on the vibrant fabric of the Minecraft community, shining a blazing spotlight on the captivating stories masterfully written by its users.

What are the new mobs in Minecraft 1.20 update?

Sniffers and camels are the two new creatures that Minecraft 1.20 will reportedly include, according to Mojang.

An ancient mob called the Sniffer was once believed to be extinct in the Minecraft universe. But, you can produce one for yourself by locating a Sniffer Egg in the suspicious desert sand (part of the new Archeology system in 1.20). The young Snifflet will soon develop into a full-grown Sniffer, a huge, adorable duck-billed creature that spends its days sniffing out Ancient Seeds.

In contrast, camels are a brand-new steed in Minecraft 1.20 that you can ride, but they differ significantly from horses in two important ways. First of all, Camels have the ability to rush across chasms and ravines without tumbling and suffering harm. The second feature is the ability for two players to ride a camel simultaneously, with the back player being able to aim and discharge a bow at any approaching foes.

What are the new features and biomes in Minecraft’s 1.20 update?

The 1.20 update for Minecraft will add a tonne of new features, as was made known at Minecraft Live 2022. The developers have only disclosed a small portion of the many features that are planned for it.

Archaeology

The long-awaited archaeology features in Minecraft are now available. You can use it to search your surroundings for shady sand blocks. When these new blocks are dusted, pottery fragments are revealed, which you may mix to make old pots.

Cherry Blossom Biome

The Cherry Blossom biome will be accessible as part of the update. Cherry blossom trees line the entire environment, which gives the surroundings a wonderful pink hue. The timber may be used to build and produce a wide variety of different items, whereas the saplings can be used to move the trees outside of their natural habitat.

Armor Customization and Trimming

The armor trimming function is one of the most recent upgrades. These patterns can be applied by players to their favorite armor to give it a fresh look.

Bamboo Wood and Rafts

A new family of bamboo wood will be introduced in Minecraft 1.20, complete with unique planks, blocks, and other items. These are a part of the creators' efforts to give the game a more accurate representation of various sorts of wood. Don't forget that bamboo wood can be used to make rafts in Minecraft.

Chiseled Bookshelf

Finally, a functional application for bookshelves in Minecraft. You can put both common and magical books in the newly carved bookshelves after creating them. You can put any book in any space on the chiseled bookshelf, but it is hard to tell them apart visually.
