wattles – Will Minecraft 1.20 Release This Year?

How’s it going everybody it’s me your boy please stop telling me the summer’s almost over it’s making me really sad and welcome back so if you couldn’t tell recently i’ve developed a fascination of fixation i like the future minecraft 1.20 today’s content that i’m cooking up for you is

Going to be a little bit different than our normal thing but i hope you enjoy it by the end of today’s video we’ll have devin died we’ll have dived into the past few years in the minecraft world in search of the answer for the question 1.20

22 so you go ahead you try and name a more iconic trio now go ahead and wait and while you do that we’ll just go ahead and get on with the video timelines if we’re trying to predict the future and answer a question about it it

Is smartest to look back at the past three is the perfect number not only do i have three fingers not only do i have the maturity of like a three year old but three is the perfect number to predict this year let’s take a look at 2019 2020 and 2021. the oldest update

We’ll take a look at today released practically in cave times april 23 2019 1.14 java 1.15 java buzzy bees released december 10th 2019. now just keep in mind that way back then updates weren’t imperative so 1.14 java wasn’t necessarily the same as 1.14 bedrock and they definitely didn’t release on the

Same day but in 2020 everything changed 1.16 the nether update it was perfect parity now 1.16 released on june 23rd 2020 and then that’s it it’s almost like something crazy or weird happened that year i don’t know last year was a big year we had two updates the caves and cliffs

Update without the caves and cliffs and oh boy even better the caves and cliffs update with the caves and clips in 2021 1.17 released on june 8th and 1.8 and released on november 30th that brings us up to obviously this year taking a look at the most recent year something

Interesting happened june 8th in 2021 was 1.17 june 7th 2022 was 1.19 that means we’re kind of on track for another update this year right i mean after all a lot of people in the community don’t feeling on me uh like to always say that two updates a year is

The norm completely ignore one out of the last three years we talked about and that checks out continuing our timeline extravaganza today let’s add even more dates into it because why not minecraft to live minecraft live is a big deal it’s coming up pretty soon october 16th at minecraft

Live we can expect the next big update to be revealed then nothing will happen before right well kind of wrong if we take a look back at what happened in 2019 one update in the spring one update in the fall this is an interesting situation if we take a look at the

Minecraft live that happened in between those two updates was that second update revealed well it was talked about but the big focus of minecraft live 2019 was definitely the nether update or at least the big reveal of that minecraft live was another update the bee update was actually revealed the couple weeks earlier

Version development it’s amazing that the minecraft devs involved with me and you in the development of a major game version 1.15’s development or the snapshots began august 22nd 2019 about a month before that year’s minecraft live that clearly shows us that at least back then in that different world of 2019 the

Devs didn’t care about waiting until minecraft live to necessarily reveal the next update 1.20 snapshots could start soon maybe speaking of snapshots timelines and time travel let’s go ahead and jump back to last year again 1.17 and june 8th one year later 1.19 1.18 released on november 30th if 1.20 were to release

This year would we have the same date well look not to put it this way but not to make you feel like abraham lincoln seeing a movie in the theater or something um bad news as you know the update development takes time that time plays out in front of our

Eyes real time in the form of snapshots the dev cycle of 1.18 was interesting second half of the caves and cliffs update a lot of the stuff like the whole terrain revamp was being work done earlier in the year that year 1.18 snapshot cycle was strange too we had snapshots pre-releases and release

Candidates but we also had experimental snapshots and the experimental snapshots the first one that dropped on july 13th it’s a little past july 13. but all hope isn’t lost the first 1.18 official snapshot released in the middle of september maybe that could happen this year but today so far we’ve been

Talking a lot about java edition what about bedrock edition and maybe we could take a look at that version of the game to figure out what’s going to happen with 1.20 after all nowadays the updates release always every time on the same exact day if you’ve been paying close

Attention to the development then you know after 1.19 there was this update in this update i made that video and that video on both of those updates in short basically what happened is polishing of the wild update and more parody fixes there’s a gigantic feature there though something absolutely huge that started

Development at 1.19 and continued up until now that feature was stated to come after the wild update or after the wild update and that thing is still in experimental features waddles waddles you’re being so ambiguous and secretive what is that weird thing do we know it

Well best friend best friend yes yes you do know it you do it’s spectator mode spectator mode is one of the biggest parody features to come to bedrock edition ever it’s an entire game mode it’s meant to come out after the wild update and hmm two updates a year

We’re gonna go back to 2018 now before i was even born in 2018 two updates released or at least to two updates released that year on bedrock probably a lot more in 2018 the later half of it we were smack dab in the middle of the development cycle of the

Village and pillage update back then in ancient times something really weird happened for some reason and i have no clue why looking back on it but for some reason in 2018 and 19 the devs put the village and pillage update on bedrock edition up into four yeah yeah four individual updates that’s

Insane but now it’s not then now we’re in parity land would the dead split a potential 1.20 up just to make sure bedrock had two updates a year ah i don’t think so but spectator mode is coming soon then it’s huge spectator mode also feels super polished in the

More recent previews this game mode opens up a whole world of possibilities like for example hardcore mode or maybe unrelated to hardcore minecraft how about amplified i mean it’s literally been years or any of the other parody updates and parody work it goes for java 2. there are a lot of better features

That java just doesn’t have for some reason that brings us to my first kind of answer of the day i would say that there’s a decent chance that there is a second update this year but the second update is smaller and maybe has something like spectator mode on bedrock edition and probably parody

Things on java maybe polishing too to help build hype for that update the devs would probably have to throw in a couple new things as well and maybe the shamble or the wumble would finally get added what does it mean nobody knows but it’s provocative it gets the people going a

Smaller update that focuses on things like bug fixes parody polishing you know things like that there’s totally time to develop something like that or at least i would think an update that only includes a few major things and mainly focuses on bug fixes probably wouldn’t have very many snapshots kind of like

The 1.10 update on java unfortunately for us our next pivot today is back to bad news if we’re expecting a big 1.20 update and we’re expecting that big 1.20 update this year in the holidays uh this their time is their time unfortunately for you me and for minecraft 1.20 the inevitable slow crawl

Of old man time it continues i’m going to be straight up with you and just say no there is no time for a massive update left this year it’s sad but it’s true another update is a great example an update that was completely and entirely loved another update was massive it

Revamped an entire dimension and maybe 1.20 revamps the end well the development of 1.16 19 snapshots eight pre-releases and one release candidate that’s 28 weeks at least that’s not left so answer number two of the day 1.20 in 2022 if it’s a big update no chance nothing literally none at all

We’ve looked at what’s happened in the past we’ve talked about bedrock edition and what’s going on right now but what about what’s next like what do we actually know about upcoming features well we’ll know a whole lot more on october 16th but right now we actually

Know a massive amount too there are so many features a lot of them being leftover caves and cliffs features like archaeology that have been announced and then just kind of are sitting there mojang listen i know you’re a big corporation i’m one guy but great idea you got a lot of features on

That to-do list maybe throw that into some kind of small update end of the year we shrink that up incoming idea feature list a little bit you know get that stuff out of the way build hype for the future you know just in case mojang microsoft big corporation doesn’t plan

Um uh month in advance maybe there’s time my point here with this segment is quick and simple there’s a lot of announce features that have been waiting to be added to the game and the devs have said they’re coming to the game those features could fit perfectly into a

Smaller update if that smaller update we’re going to drop at the end of the year but if that smaller update we’re going to actually drop at the end of the year snapshots would either need to begin very very soon like almost yesterday or that update would need to be really really small

An important thing to remember that i haven’t really mentioned up until this point in the video is vacation now the devs always take a holiday vacation and that vacation begins a couple weeks before the end of the year or at least that’s what it seems so end of december

It’s not gonna happen that means that at the latest this update would need to be done within the first two weeks of december so sad news through all of my research and all of our talking today i think i’ve come to a conclusion 1.20 if it is going to be a big massive

End update revamp or anything huge for that matter in 2022 maybe snapshots yeah well definitely snapshots but uh yeah but i’m not gonna leave you on a sad note today if 1.20 is a smaller update with a couple new small interesting cool things then dropping this year yeah yeah

Yeah definitely it’s a possibility the wild card that i throw in at the end of the video is 1.19 to point something 1.19 points something could always happen take a look at what happened with 1.16 there were like five or six versions of 1.16 it was kind of a lot and those smaller

Versions they can sometimes be interesting and take java 1.16.2 for example in 1.16.2 the piglet brute was added to minecraft one of the hardest to deal with mobs in the game there is the chance that more minecraft updates are still on the way this year but if they

Are they’re either going to be smaller or they’re going to be an offshoot of the 1.19 update but you know how it goes you know how it goes watch the devs release a snapshot the week after i make this video and everything changes so you never know what do you think do you

Think 1.20 will come out this year then if it does is it going to be a big update do i have it all wrong or is it going to be something small call everything you know anymore down in the comments below hope you enjoyed this different style of video that i cooked
