As the release date approaches for the next Minecraft update, version 1.20.5, developers have begun rolling out pre-release snapshot updates for the Java Edition. These pre-released snapshots typically include a more finalized version of features planned for the next update.
As expected, the 1.20.5 pre-release 3 update comes bundled with no new features but mostly bug fixes aimed at improving gameplay and reducing crashes.
This article delves into the detailed patch notes for the Minecraft 1.20.5 pre-release 3.

To try out the latest snapshot, interested players need to enable the "Snapshots" option under the "Installations" tab. Once enabled, players can download the new snapshot directly from the official launcher.
It is worth noting that snapshots could be unstable, buggy, or laggy on some systems. These test versions are released to allow the interested player base to try new features and report potential bugs and glitches. Such reports help improve the gameplay experience for when the main update drops.
