One of the best parts about the game is that players can check out the new updates before they are released. This still rings true with the 1.20 update via a snapshot of Java Edition and the beta test on Bedrock Edition.

By downloading these, players can check out the brand new cherry blossom biome, sniffer mob, archeology, and all the rest the update offers ahead of its 2023 release.

To get started with the snapshot, they need to head to the launcher for Java and enable snapshots under the installations tab.

For Bedrock Edition, players must head to the Microsoft Store and download the Xbox Insider Hub app. Once installed, they should open the preview menu and select Minecraft for Windows 10. They can then click on the Join button and hit Continue.

After enabling the snapshot or the beta, players can jump right in to check out the content ahead of the big reveal on Thursday, March 2, 2023.
