Minecraft 1.20 Snapshot 23w04a Released: Armor Customization, Netherite Nerf & More
Jan. 25, 2023There are 11 armor trims in the game, and each one of them spawns in a particular in-game structure in all three dimensions, including overworld, End, and Nether. Some trims are rarer than others, which opens up a new collection challenge for the players.
Furthermore, you get to choose between 10 color options while applying each armor trim, pushing the custom armor options even further. The said color options are based on various in-game ores, ranging from diamond to lapis lazuli. Though, as you might expect, the colors of armor trim must be different for it to work. For example, you can’t use a gold trim on gold armor.
To create a Netherite item, in earlier versions, you have to combine the diamond variant of that item with a Netherite ingot in the Smithing Table. Now, this combination only works if there is aSmithing Upgrade Templatein the table. This template exclusively spawns inside the treasure rooms of Bastion Remnant in the Nether dimension.
Moreover, every template only has one use. So, you either have to loot a bunch of Bastion Remnant, which is dangerous. Or, you will need to make copies of the template, which requires 7 diamonds and 1 Netherrack in its crafting recipe.
You can find more details about the technical changes and the bug fixes on the official changelog (here). First, we got newmob heads, and now, this armor customization,Minecraft 1.20seems to be focusing heavily on self-expression. And we’re pretty excited to see what else is headed our way. In the meantime, how are you planning to design your armor? Tell us in the comments below!
