Although much of the weight of the series rests on the shoulders of spin-offs such as Minecraft Dungeons or the upcoming Minecraft Legends, the developers continue to add content year after year to the main game that enriches the infinite universe of cubes created by Mojang.
The Microsoft-owned studio has prepared three very exciting new features that will finally be implemented in the next major update, 1.20, which was announced last Minecraft Live. All of them will soon be present so that users can test them in the snapshots which will start from todayFebruary 15.
The first novelty presented is the incorporation of the archeology set. A long-awaited system that will allow unearth tools, sniffer eggs (another novelty), bones and pottery fragments. These objects will be found buried in a new type of sand, the suspicious sand, which can be found near desert temples. To be unearthed, you will need a new tool: the brush. It should be noted that the ceramic fragments are important, since each one has a different pattern, putting them together will form a container that will tell us “a unique story”.
The crowd called sniffer, an ancient creature that was thought to be extinct. Players will be able to hatch the eggs and thus hatch a sniffer hatchling, which will grow into an adult. You can also tame and get unique decorative plants.
Finally, the incorporation of the biome of Cherry blossoms, a new type of tree. Which in addition to bringing beauty, behaves like other trees, when broken it will give a complete set of a wood different from the others. Floating billboards can also be planted and constructed.
Soon, these new features will be available for testing by users in minecraft javain a test version, and later in Minecraft bedrock.
