In a surprising turn of events, Minecraft Live 2022 introduced us to a bunch of Minecraft 1.20 features that no one was expecting. From a new desert mob to a whole family of new blocks, there is a lot to look forward to in the upcoming update. Now, merely a few days later, we can already test out these new features. The first Minecraft 1.20 Snapshot 22w42a for the Java Edition and Minecraft Preview #1.19.50.21 for the Bedrock Edition are not live. Here are all the details!
As revealed in an official blog post, most features from Minecraft Live 2022 are now available for testing. All players can access them by downloading the test builds of the game. From the announced features, the first beta and snapshot of Minecraft 1.20 have the following features:
Even though the features feel complete, they are still in their testing phase. So, if you notice any bugs or errors in them, you can report the same to Minecraft (here). Not to forget, we will be testing and creating tutorials for all these features and more soon. So, keep our website bookmarked to stay up to date.
If you are a Bedrock player, you have to download Minecraft Preview and update it to get the new features. Meanwhile, Java users can get the snapshots from the “Installation” tab in the Minecraft Launcher itself. If you already own Minecraft, you don’t have to pay anything to get the test builds of the game. They are completely free for everyone.
