What Happened to the Minecraft 1.20 Update?! (New Release Date & Features)

What happened to the Minecraft 1.20 update it felt like just yesterday we were all getting super excited about the brand new features coming to Minecraft in this next update but where is it this is the question I asked myself a few days ago and one I hope I can answer for

You all in today’s video now before we discuss the newly rumored release date and other big features it’s important to give you all an update as to all the new features that will be coming in the 1.20 update as over the last few weeks lots of big features and changes have made

Their way into the latest snapshots if you don’t know a Minecraft snapshot is basically the Mojang developers putting out a beta test for the latest Minecraft update they’re working on they’ll release new snapshots every few weeks or so leading up to the release of the final update allowing them to get

Feedback and Bug reports from users to make sure that when the update goes live it’s as polished as can be the really great news is that all the features that were teased in the Minecraft Live Events have have made their way into the recent snapshots which means we can expect even

More new features blocks or even mobs to be added in this next update but let me give you guys a quick refresher as to what has already been confirmed to be coming in the update there are seven new default skins that players can choose from at the loading screen of Minecraft

They’re also craftable hanging signs that can be placed in a variety of ways to give players the perfect way to display their in-game text the new bamboo blogs which have also already been receiving a ton of texture updates in the latest snapshots the new craftable chiseled bookshelves which

Players can use these bookshelves to store any type of book they want finally giving bookshelves a practical use there’s been a full rework of the creative inventory all items have been re-categorized in this latest update allowing players to find what block they’re looking for in a jiffy a brand

New slash filled biome command that allows players to manually change the biome of Any Given region in your mind Minecraft world to any other Minecraft biome mob heads can now be placed onto note blocks to create an Ambient sound of that mob on command depending on

Which mob head is placed on a note block a corresponding mob sound will be played when activated a huge update has been made to the way that Nether Portals allow mobs to spawn in the nether previously certain mobs could spawn in or around Nether Portals but with this

New change Enderman skeletons and wither skeletons now need a light levels of 9 or lower to spawn in the nether where previously they needed a light level of 11 or lower which allowed them to spawn near Nether Portals this is going to be hugely impactful for Wither Skeleton

Farms right now as pretty much every form relies on another portals so it’s gonna be interesting to see how the Minecraft Community responds to this big change this is probably the one thing you definitely remember from the event but the new camel mob is going to be introduced into the game it allows

Players to mount and ride the camel similar to that of a a horse but it also has some fancy movement mechanics up its sleeves for all the Bedrock players out there there will be some slight UI changes and improvements and last but not least the sniffler was the mob that

Came out on top in the Minecraft 2022 mob vote so although it is confirmed to be coming into the game it is not confirmed to be coming in the 1.20 update considering this update has taken longer than expected there’s a good chance that we could see the sniffler

Being ushered into the update at the very last minute now those are all of the guaranteed new features items blocks or commands coming to the update but there’s also been some highly rumored and talked about other features or items that might be coming in this update now

Before we talk about those items I just want to remind you all if you haven’t already dropped a like on the video I would greatly appreciate it as I spent a ton of time researching to make sure I give you all the most accurate information possible and of course

Subscribe as I’ll be keeping you all updated on everything regarding the Minecraft 1.20 update leading up to the final release date now for the longest time the archeology update has been teased leaked rumored whatever you want to call it but unfortunately there’s no evidence pointing towards the archeology

Update being included in this next version this doesn’t mean that it can’t happen just at the moment it’s not looking too good additionally another highly anticipated update is that to the Birch Forest now this was directly teased by Mojang themselves I believe in the Minecraft event leading up to the

1.19 update but sources are saying that there will be no revamps to any biomes in the 1.20 version of the game ruling out this biome change to be included in the update and continuing off there being no updates to any biomes in the 1.20 update we can assume that means the

Desert Savannah and Badlands biome will not be affected in any way all these biomes in the last few years have been heavily teased by mojoing themselves to be receiving some pretty big updates and even even new Mobs but if sources are correct this would mean none of these

Biomes would be seeing any new updates now that we finally know what’s going to be in the update let’s talk about when the update will finally be releasing back in October of 2022 Minecraft had their Minecraft live event which they hold twice a year in order to discuss

All the happenings that have been going on behind the scenes at mojing that relate to all of the different Minecraft projects it wasn’t until the very end of the broadcast that we finally saw our first few spoilers and teasers of the brand new 1.20 update but there was a

Problem at the end of the spoilers there was no release date given for when we could expect the update and Mojang was also very cryptic about giving out any extra information to the audience this was something that at the time I brushed off but looking back it was our first

Clue that we would have to wait longer than normal for this update I decided to do a bit of digging and found something really interesting based on the past update releases I had assumed that since the last few updates had been released about six months between each other that

The Minecraft 1.20 update would follow suit and we would receive it sometime in December of 2022. well as you all know that is not the case and it is not what would happen but it did more or less confirm the actual release date of this update see if you look at the past

Updates and when they were released in the last few years updates have either been released six months apart or roughly 12 months apart from each other never 9 months or 15 months apart they’re always either released in the summer time or in the winter time and

Only once on occasion in the last six years has an update been released in the spring so thinking logically if the update wasn’t released this past winter it almost guarantees the possibility that this update is going to be released towards the end of spring around late

April or in early May or most likely that we will see the 1.20 update being released in June or July of this year if you’re wondering why this is the case and why we’re having to wait so long for this update I think I can also help

Answer that being honest the last few updates haven’t gone too smoothly for Minecraft if you think back to the 1.17 update the update that was supposed to revolutionize Minecraft forever with the world generation and the lower Bedrock levels it ended up getting split into two different caves and cliffs updates

Severely hurting the hype and impact of these changes similarly since these updates were split into two it didn’t feel like there was that much content in either update besides for the world generation and the new ores which let’s be honest after a few weeks everyone got

Used to this leads us to the Minecraft live event a few months ago where Agnes strictly stated that Mojang didn’t want to over promise and under deliver with the Minecraft 1.20 update which is why we weren’t given a release date we were given very few of the new features that

Were going to be in the the game and we were given no actual name for this update still to this day as I’m recording and uploading this video there has been no confirmed name for this update but when that is of course released you all will be the first to

Know Mojang is actually doing the right thing by actively learning from their mistakes in the last few updates and changing the way they go about hyping up new releases of Minecraft as a huge fan of Minecraft updates it sucks having to wait to the last minute to find out just

Exactly what is going to be in the latest update but thanks to leaks tweets and snapshot updates with a really good idea of just what we can expect to be releasing this summer personally I’m super excited for whatever Mojang has to bring to the table for this update and

Honestly it looks like they’re going to be giving us some surprises when this update is finally launched as they’ve spent a good chunk of time getting everything prepared and ready to be played by everyone make sure you like the video If you learned something and I’ll catch you on the next one peace
