Minecraft 1.20 Release Candidate 1 – Symbolic Links & Knowledge Book

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Minecraft update video we are now one week away from June the 7th which is When Minecraft 1.20 is released and this is the release candidate meaning this is essentially 1.20 unless they find any last minute bug fixes that

Need to be taken care of so you can consider this to be 1.20 however it’ll be official in a week now there are changes in this release candidate and there was also a pre-release 7 which I haven’t covered on the channel so we’re going to go over that in this video as

Well and pre-release 7 comes with a big change to the use of symbolic links if you don’t know what that is don’t worry about it if you take advantage and use these things then you will need to read the article it goes into a lot of detail

About what you need to know there’s going to be a white list for using symbolic links as they will be disabled by default unless specified to the game that it’s okay to use one of these now for those of you that want to know what this is in the Windows File system you

Have folders where file will be located this one is called actual folder because it’s a proper folder in the file structure now a symbolic link would be a folder that appears to be a proper one but it’s actually a shortcut to that other location so it created a shortcut

Here so you can think of it as a folder that you open and it looks like its own folder but it actually points to the actual folder now this works for both folders that files go in and files themselves and it looks like this may have been exploitable for malicious

Intent so this whitelist system is there to protect you if you happen to use symbolic links and the only other change in pre-release 7 was that bamboo Mosaic slabs and stairs were not included in the appropriate item tag lists and now we get to move on to the changes in

Release candidate number one this bug is from the snapshot development Cycle knowledge books weren’t able to be placed inside of chiseled bookshelves and if that was confusing to you at all let me explain the knowledge book is actually a utility item you may just notice that it shares its texture with

The recipes inside of your inventory that is because this utility item is used to Grant players crafting recipes when they happen Upon This Book it’s something that will probably be used in map making scenarios however if we go into the operator utilities it’s not included in here so you can only get it

Through commands that might be something they want to change in a future update but yes it had been noticed that this didn’t interact with chiseled bookshelves which it will now do and this other bug is related to growing a pitcher plant in the dark which could

Cause the bottom half of it to break off and the top half to float there is this image here on the bug report that can give you an idea of what that might look like and that my friends is all there is to tell you so I will take this

Opportunity to let you know that a new episode of hermitcraft came out just three days ago and the next episode that I’m hoping to drop on Monday will be a very special one with something absolutely awesome in it so I encourage you to subscribe and make sure you don’t

Miss that one and when it comes to update videos If there is a release candidate too you’ll hear about it from me only if there’s something you really need to know in it otherwise it’s probably going to be something very minor so this might be my last update

Video until we get a new snapshot for 1.20.1 so yeah leave a like if you enjoyed it and I’ll see you when I see you bye
