Latest revision as of 11:18, 15 October 2026
For the {{{Description}}} of the same name, see [[{{{Destination}}}]].
Mob Minecraft:heads can now be placed on top of note blocks without sneaking.
When placing a mob head on a note block, that note block now plays one of the ambient sounds of that mob when played by a player or powered by Minecraft:redstone.
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.
In promotion of Trails & Tales, a free event server was released. Open from 10 AM PST June 23rd to 10 PM PST June 25th, players could explore many regions with their own minigames, including the Cherry Grove, Camel Canyon, and the Lost World, and earn many exclusive items.
Quotes
"
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 Marketplace creators The Hive bring you the Timeless Trails adventure map! Become a Trails & Tales expert as you explore a cherry blossom village, delve into ancient caves, and trek across the desert on camelback to find a unique armor trim.
"
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!
