Mojang, the creators of Minecraft, has revealed a slew of new features that will be included in the game's widely anticipated 1.20 update. There will be no new world-generation features, which may disappoint some players, but there is still much to look forward to. Some of the capabilities are already available in the Java Snapshot and Bedrock betas and will be included in the retail version later this year.
The latest 1.20 update presents an intriguing enigma to the community, marking it as one of the most peculiar experiences in recent memory. Devoid of an official theme, it brings forth a collection of features already explored in beta versions, shrouding the majority of its elements in secrecy.
Furthermore, this update intimately revolves around the Minecraft community, delving into the captivating narratives of its members. Aptly named "Trails and Tales," it promises to offer a unique and immersive journey within the game.
What is the Minecraft 1.20 Update and when will it be released?
The Minecraft 1.20 update is the game's next significant content upgrade, which was announced at Minecraft Live 2022.

There is finally an official Minecraft 1.20 release date with it set to release on June 7th, 2023. Moreover, this update revolves around the vibrant tapestry of the Minecraft community, placing a spotlight on the captivating stories woven by its members. Aptly christened "Trails and Tales," it embraces the essence of exploration and narrative, promising an enriching experience for all players involved.
What is part of the Minecraft 1.20 update?
Archaeology
Despite being announced in 2020, Mojang has now confirmed that the archaeology feature would be included in the Minecraft 1.20 release. In addition to creating new blocks, archaeology introduces a new tool: the brush. Furthermore, the feature has already been included in the game's next snapshots and beta preview editions.
Cherry Blossom Biome
This gorgeous biome is filled with cherry blossom trees that add a distinctive appearance to the frontier as their crowns are big and flat, like fluffy pink clouds. This new biome type's trees turn your Minecraft world into a beautiful pink setting. The cherry trees can be felled for seedlings and a new pale pink wood set, which should result in some wonderful new structures.

New Mobs
Currently, Mojang has announced the addition of two new mobs to Minecraft 1.20. One is the Minecraft camel, which Mojang chose itself to be a new desert-dwelling mount, and the other is the sniffer, which won this year's community mob vote.
Camel
Camels can be seen loitering in desert settlements, sitting, wandering, and flapping their tiny ears. They are a brand-new kind of mount that can accommodate two players, allowing gamers to travel between bases with a pal.
Sniffer
The sniffer is a long-extinct ancient mob that may be brought back to Minecraft by locating its eggs (using archaeology) and assisting with their hatching. They have mossy backs, a big yellow noses, and floppy pink ears. They are enormous and somewhat turtle-shaped. When they hatch, sniffers will dig up antiquated seeds for you to plant.
Armor Trimming and Customization
After using generic armour for years, armour customization is now available in Minecraft 1.20. You receive 11 pattern designs in 10 different colours for each piece of armour you wear. This armour customization function is made available by a brand-new item called "armour trim," a variant of which spawns in virtually every significant building in the Minecraft universe. Once you've located it, you must mix the trim with your armour and the colour in the new Smithing table UI.
