Minecraft 1.21: Preview 1.20.60.24 – What’s New?! Armor Upgrades and Bug Fixes!
Recently, Minecraft released the first preview of 2024, version 1.20.60.23, which surprisingly did not update the texture of the armor, but instead fixed several related bugs. This news comes as a pleasant surprise to many players, as the update was not expected until later in the year.
Armor Upgrades
The latest preview brings several improvements to the armor. The folding and unfolding of the armor now emit vibrations, and this action also comes with individual sounds. Additionally, the small armor no longer moves towards the adult armor when retracted, addressing a previous issue where the legs would momentarily disappear when the armor was folded. Particle effects for the spawner have also been updated, with the Breeze now able to jump and avoid pitfalls while in water.
Gameplay Enhancements
Several other gameplay enhancements have been introduced in this preview. The volume of equipping and removing Wolf Armor is now regulated through the friendly creatures sound category. The ruins of the trail should now be generated in the same location and configuration as in the Java version. Furthermore, players can now switch the appearance of the game menu between a list and a grid view, providing more customization options.
Bug Fixes and Improvements
Aside from the new features, the preview also addresses various bugs and issues. The turtle shell has been renamed to differentiate it from the shield, and several bugs related to player teleportation, item drops, and game crashes have been resolved. Additionally, the update ensures that equipment such as horse armor and Wolf Armor no longer duplicate after the death of the equipped animal.
Conclusion
Overall, the first preview of 2024 is relatively small and focuses mainly on bug fixes and improvements. However, players are hopeful that future updates will bring more exciting features and enhancements.
