Mojang has officially announced that the next Minecraft 1.20 patch will be called the Updated trails and tales. According to Mojang, the name represents the journey Minecraft takes players on and the unique stories each player brings back.
Minecraft Trails & Tales update is ‘all about self-expression’
The announcement that the Minecraft 1.20 patch will be known as Trails & Tales came as part of Mojang’s new monthly Minecraft news show on YouTube. Some of the major features the patch will bring include a cherry blossom biome that is home to pigs, sheep, and bees and the long-awaited archeological system originally planned for the Caves & Cliffs update in 2021. The update will also introduce the mob sniffer, camels, bamboo rafts and customizable armor decorations.
Here’s what Minecraft Game Director Agnes Larrson had to say about the Trails & Tales update:
“Update 1.20 is all about self-expression, especially self-expression through role-playing, storytelling, and world-building. And it’s the journey, your paths, that hold it all together. Minecraft worlds belong to the players, as do the stories or tales about those worlds.
Minecraft players can currently try out these features as part of Bedrock Betas and Previews and Java Snapshots. However, there is no release date yet for the full release of Trails & Tales on all platforms, but Mojang has indicated that it will arrive “later this year”.
