Mojang says that Minecraft 1.20 will come to users in 2023. If you are unfamiliar with this update, it is the stock version that will reach all normal Minecraft players. The developer says the release will focus on more creativity and player expression. Specifically, Mojang wants to give players even more freedom to play how they want. The latest Minecraft Preview release brings the first glimpse of some of the features coming in Version 1.20. While players can now test these new additions, they are experimental. This update is currently available only on PC, Xbox, and Android. That means it is not available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, nor iOS. Mojang is making the usual bug fixes and general improvements, but it is the new Version 1.20 features that everybody wants. So, let’s take a look at what is available in Minecraft Preview 1.19.60.20:
