Minecraft 1.20 Release Date News and Features

Minecraft has received numerous updates over the years, adding new features. These vary between updates but can include mobs, skins, blocks, and more. With the 1.20 update coming, you may be wondering what will come to Minecraft in the 1.20 update.

Everything coming in the Minecraft 1.20 update

Despite not having an official name, Minecraft 1.20 will add many new features, including skins, a new mob, and new building blocks. Here is everything being added in the 1.20 update for Minecraft.

Camels

A new mob is coming to Minecraft 1.20, and that is the camel. This desert creature is the perfect mount to cross larges sandy biomes, as it has a dash feature that lets you skip across rivers if you time it properly. They will also prevent some mobs from attacking you and providing much-needed safety. Make sure you feed them cacti to thank them, and you may even get a baby camel.

Skins

A whole slew of default skins are coming in Minecraft 1.20 and will be available on November 29, 2022. These skins are Makena, Efe, Noor, Kai, Ari, Sunny, and Zuri. Some of these are recognizable from various trailers, and the addition of these skins helps shape Minecraft's storytelling.

Bamboo

While bamboo is already in Minecraft, players will have more options for what they can do with this resource. The 1.20 update will allow players to craft various things out of bamboo, including planks, doors, trapdoors, and rafts. Rafts will function similarly to boats but have a more open look to them.

Hanging Signs

Let loose your decorative side with hanging signs. These can be constructed in various ways depending on what block the sign is hanging on. Those who have been looking to create their perfect marketplace will have a whole new way to advertise their shops.

Chiseled Bookshelves

What may seem like a small addition is actually a huge opportunity in chiseled bookshelves. These will give some much-needed variety to libraries and enchanting rooms. You can also use redstone to create secret entrances, as redstone is compatible with chiseled bookshelves.

When is the Minecraft 1.20 Update Release Date?

There is no official release date for the Minecraft 1.20 update, but we know it should arrive in late January 2023. The Minecraft update 1.20 snapshot 22W42A came out in October 2022, a few days after Minecraft Live 2022. You can check it out for yourself by watching Minecraft Live or reading the recap.
