The Minecraft 1.20 update is almost here. Trails & Tales, after much speculation, is set to arrive tomorrow, June 7. The release date was announced at the end of May, and the community's excitement has been boiling ever since. When June 7 finally arrives, gamers will be treated to new mobs, biomes, structures, and so much more. As always, Mojang's updates deliver big changes.

There is currently no time set. Previous major releases for Minecraft have been released around 11 am EST, so a similar timeline can be expected. However, this has not been confirmed as of this writing.

Be sure to keep an eye on official social media channels and Sportskeeda's own Minecraft coverage to know exactly when the update will be released.


What to expect from the Minecraft 1.20 update

The Minecraft 1.20 update has been built up through snapshots, betas/previews, and pre-releases. As such, the community has a fairly decent idea of what the update will look like. After all, they've played versions of it as Mojang tested and fine-tuned the features.

The big additions come in the form of two new mobs. Camels and the Sniffer, the Mob Vote winner, will be added. Camels can be ridden, and the Sniffer will sniff out and dig up seeds for players.

The Cherry Grove biome will feature new cherry trees and figures to be a very popular entry to the franchise, even though it will be a fairly uncommon spawn.

Deserts are getting a bit of an update as the archaeology section of the game is introduced. Suspicious sand and suspicious gravel can be brushed away to find what's lurking inside.

Trail Ruins is a new structure that will spawn with the new sand, gravel, and chests. It can have emeralds and more, and is another reason why the desert is so popular. Note that trail ruins aren't totally exclusive to that biome, though.

Armor trims are a new way of customizing armor. Diamond armor can now look very different depending on the trim used.

Bamboo is also getting a major change in Minecraft 1.20. Instead of being used solely to craft sticks or as an alternative fuel source, bamboo can now be made into wood. As a result, it can then be used to make planks, slabs, blocks, and even a boat. In this case, it will be a raft, but it functions similarly. Bamboo will still spawn in the jungle.

All this and much more is headed to Minecraft in just over 24 hours. When it arrives, download the update, and you can experience all these additions immediately.
