Now, for those wondering about the features we are getting in the Minecraft 1.20 update, there is a lot in store. We are not only getting a beautiful new biome – theCherry Grove biome, but also two newwood sets – bambooand cherry. In addition, this updatebrings two new mobsinto the fray. This includes the camel found in desert biomes and theSniffer, which lets you sniff ancient seeds. Moreover, it should be known that Sniffer doesn’t spawn in any biome, you need to hatch this mob from its egg.
Furthermore, Mojang is focusing on inclusivity and customization in the Minecraft 1.20 update. This is reflected in theseven new default skins, armor trims, banner customization, and more. This update also includes the much-awaited Archaeology features that were teased more than three years ago. You will find new suspicious sand/ gravel blocks, a new Trail Ruins structure, and a new item (brush) to dust these blocks and reveal treasures.
The Minecraft 1.19 The Wild update became available on all devices at around 10:00 AM PST (or 10:30 PM IST). So, we expect the same release window for the upcoming update. But keep an eye on your device’s app stores in case of an early release.
In the official blog post, Microsoft-owned Mojang has confirmed that the latest update will be available on the following platforms:
*only Java edition+ only Bedrock edition
Like every year, Windows users will be able to enjoy both Minecraft Java and Bedrock variants. However, the biggest addition to the device lineup comes in the form of Chromebook. Mojangannounced official support for Chrome OSearlier this year, allowing Chromebook users (mostly students) to officially play Minecraft Bedrock on their devices.
With all of that out of the way, which feature are you most excited to try out in the Minecraft 1.20 update? Is it the camels, the hidden trail ruins, or the Sniffer mob? Let us know in the comments below.
