Enabling Features
If you’re using the Java Edition of Minecraft, you can easily start an experimental server by accessing the hidden changes in the game files. In the Apex Server panel, locate the snapshot version 22W42a or a newer version up to 1.19.3. Change the server version, create a new world, and restart the server to enable the experimental features.
Generating Worlds
Once the server is running the experimental version, you’ll need to configure and generate the world. In the server panel, find the server settings option, and scroll down to the initial enabled pack setting. Enter ‘vanilla, update_1_20, and bundle’ in the textbox, save the changes, and restart the server.
Loading the Game
After configuring the server, head to the Minecraft launcher, enable the snapshots option, and select the version that matches your server. Press play to download the necessary files and launch the game to start exploring the 1.20 features.
Bedrock Edition
For Bedrock Edition players, you can access the experimental features by downloading the preview version of Minecraft. Visit the provided link to download the preview for Windows or opt into the iOS beta to gain access to the experimental content.
Common Issues
If you encounter issues with starting the server after switching to a snapshot or a new version, ensure that you have generated a fresh map and correctly formatted the initial enabled pack settings. Additionally, make sure that your server is set up properly and the game file has the correct version selected.
