'''[[Minecraft:Block of amethyst]]'''

'''[[Minecraft:Sculk sensor]]'''
* Vibration frequencies of many actions in the game have been tweaked and greatly simplified to prevent unwanted interference, as following:
:{| class="wikitable"
! Action
! Frequency value
|-
| Movement in any medium (land, water and air)
| 1
|-
| Landing on any surface (land or water)
| 2
|-
| Item interactions
| 3
|-
| Gliding with an elytra or unique mob actions (ravager roar, wolf shaking, etc)
| 4
|-
| Dismounting a mob or equipping gear
| 5
|-
| Mounting a mob or interacting with a mob
| 6
|-
| Mobs and players getting damaged
| 7
|-
| Consuming items (drinking and eating)
| 8
|-
| Blocks 'deactivating' (door close, chest close, button unpress, etc)
| 9
|-
| Blocks 'activating' (door open, chest open, button press, etc)
| 10
|-
| Blocks changing (cauldron water level rising, adding food to campfire, etc)
| 11
|-
| Blocks being destroyed
| 12
|-
| Blocks being placed
| 13
|-
| Mobs and players teleporting or spawning
| 14
|-
| Mobs and players dying or an explosion
| 15
|}

* Now strongly powers the block they are placed on.
* Can now be activated by [[Minecraft:sniffer]]s digging.
* If a vibration is scheduled to be received by a sculk sensor, it stays queued until all adjacent chunks are loaded and ticking.
** This prevents vibration resonance setups from breaking when unloading their chunks from a distance.
* Now lasts 30 game ticks when in "Active" phase instead of 40.
* Now lasts 10 game ticks when in "Cooldown" phase instead of 1.

'''[[Minecraft:Sculk shrieker]]'''

In promotion of ''Trails & Tales'', a free map was released on the [[Minecraft:Marketplace]]. Produced by ''The Hive'', the map tells the story of an archeologist, who is able to travel through time during the night and recover artifacts during the day, visiting a Desert Bazaar, Cherry Grove, and Ancient Caves in the process. Along the way the player is able to learn various new mechanics featured in the map, including archeology, camels, armor trims, chiseled bookshelves, and growing the sniffer's plants.

{{quote|The 1.20 update is all about self expression, specifically self expression through representation, story telling, and world building. And, it’s the journey - your trails - that ties it all together. The Minecraft worlds belong to the players – and so do the stories, or tales, about those worlds.|[[Minecraft:Agnes Larsson]]|[{{mcnet|the-trails---tales-update}} minecraft.net]|image=Agnes Larsson Mojang avatar.png}}

{{Quote|Have you been having a sniffing time exploring the new update? I’ve hatched a snifflet, met a baby camel, and my cherry wood cottage is looking pretty and pink. But just like the girl-turned-blueberry in Willy Wonka, I want MORE. Luckily, starting in just two days’ time (!) there’s going to be a very special weekend-long event, themed around the Trails & Tales Update!|Minecraft.net description for [[Minecraft:Trails & Tales Event]]<ref>{{mcnet|trails-tales-event|Trails Tales Event|June 23, 2023|Sophie Austin}}</ref>}}
