The next major update to Minecraft, which until now has been known simply as update 1.20, is almost here, and today we’re excited to reveal some of the final details about this highly anticipated new chapter, including the update’s name: As revealed during today’s Minecraft Monthly, update 1.20 will be known as the “Trails & Tales” update. This update is all about self-expression through representation, storytelling, and worldbuilding.

Previous updates like Caves & Cliffs and Update Aquatic have been named after a theme, and Trails & Tales is no different. The name represents the journey that Minecraft takes us on, and the unique stories that each of us bring back. Sometimes, that journey is literal, like riding towards the horizon on a camel with your best friend. Other times, it’s more metaphorical, like learning how to evade hostile mobs or working out a smart mining system. At the end of the journey, however you have chosen to play Minecraft, you will have your very own story that goes with it. We love hearing them, and we hope that Trails & Tales will encourage you to tell even more Minecraft stories that you can share with the world!  

Minecraft developer Mojang started revealing features that will arrive in “Trails & Tales” during Minecraft Live 2022, and continued to reveal more new features during the early months of 2023. With the recent reveal of the fan-favorite cherry blossom biome, the feature set for this update is now complete:, the feature set for this update is now complete:

• Camels: The friendly new camel mob is found in desert villages and can be ridden by not one, but TWO players at the same time. They can be pretty zippy too, and riders are safe from hostile mob attacks while perched high on their humps, so camels are perfect for long treks across the overworld.
• The bamboo wood set: Like other wood types, you can craft things like slabs and stairs, but bamboo also brings you mosaic blocks which are perfect for flooring and creating a lovely raft.
• Chiseled bookshelves: Got a lot of books and need a place to display them? You can build your own chiseled bookshelf that lets you store books so you can keep all your stories safe and sound.
• Hanging signs: Hanging signs can be crafted from any wood type and arranged in all manner of cool ways along with customized text to add that extra touch to your bases and builds. Place them beneath or on the side of blocks for that finishing touch!
• Armor trims: You can customize your armor with new armor trims! Armor trims come in multiple patterns which you can find in the form of smithing templates hidden across the Minecraft world.
• New mob head functionality: This update also adds a brand new mob head for players to collect – the piglin head! Players can wear it or power it with redstone, causing the ears to wiggle. In addition, mob heads placed on top of note blocks will now play the corresponding mob’s sound effects!
• Archeology: The new archeology system has several components, introducing a new craftable tool (the brush) and new blocks (suspicious sand and decorative pots), as well as changes to desert temples and wells.
• The Sniffer: The sniffer is an ancient creature, found in eggs unearthed from suspicious sand. They hatch into baby “snifflets” that, once grown, can help you search for seeds of ancient plants such as the torchflower, which can add some prehistoric panache to your world!
• Cherry blossom biome and wood set: Are you ready for Minecraft 1.20 to bring a rare, and above all PINK, biome to the Overworld!? The beautiful cherry blossom biome is filled with cherry blossom trees that bring a unique look to the horizon. The cherry tree can be broken down into a full wood set, and you can also find cherry tree saplings so you can plant them wherever you want. 

Key Features:

• Create and explore your very own world where the only limit is what you can imagine.
• Includes five skin packs and two texture packs to customize your gameplay!
• Use the touch screen to check your map or manage your inventory!
