Event

Minecraft Live 2022 announced the yet-unnamed 1.20 update to Minecraft, which includes the voted-in sniffer, camels, bamboo wood, hanging signs, chiseled bookshelves and rafts. On March 2, 2023, the name of 1.20 was revealed, Trails & Tales. New seasonal adventures in Template:El and new information about Template:El were also announced. New Minecraft:default skins were announced to arrive in the game in a future update as well, which were later added in Minecraft:Java Edition 1.19.3 and Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 1.19.50, respectively.

Main Show

As the show begins, several frogs leap in front of the Minecraft:Mojang Studios logo. Minecraft:Lydia Winters appears and introduces herself, explaining what's to come while standing in front of an animatronic Minecraft:pig. From there a cinematic commences, continuing off the events of the announcement trailer. A Minecraft:minecart chain containing many mobs venture through a Minecraft:savanna and several other biomes on their way to the show. Along the way, several visual jokes are made, including chickens being blown away by the carts, a Minecraft:husk sneezing onto a magma cube, and the Arch Illager expressing joy at the wonders of a lush cave.

Eventually, the cars are stopped by a trio of frogs "vibing" to a song while marching in a mushroom field, a callback to the announcement trailer, agitating the separate trio of frogs leading the track. After they leave, Minecraft:Alex refuels their furnace minecart, continuing forward into the Nether, underwater, and finally into the Fatelands, where several runts are on top of a village well. As a chicken jockey tries to keep up in a Minecraft:badlands biome, the Minecraft:Overworld is blinded by the sight of the event logo, ending the animation.

Mob Vote

The three options for the mob vote.

As with previous events, viewers were able to vote for a new mob to be added to the game in a future update. Each mob received its own video justifying its inclusion.

Unlike previous years, in which the vote was conducted through Twitter during the show, the vote began on October 14 at noon EDT and ended the following day as the show began. The vote took place across three areas: a server on Template:BE, through the Minecraft:Minecraft Launcher, and on Minecraft:minecraft.net. Users were also able to change their vote during the 24-hour period.<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref>

The mobs that were on the vote were the sniffer, the rascal, and the tuff golem.

• The Minecraft:sniffer<ref>Template:Ytl</ref><ref>Template:Mcnet</ref> is described as an ancient mob, that was thought to have been extinct, that is hatched from Minecraft:sniffer eggs, which can be found in chests in underwater ruins. This means they do not spawn naturally, and are extinct until revived by the player. Upon hatching, the sniffer can find ancient seeds, which can be used to grow new types of plants, which will also come with the sniffer. The sniffer won the vote by over half of the vote, and was added in the Minecraft:1.20 update.

• The Minecraft:rascal<ref>Template:Ytl</ref><ref>Template:Mcnet</ref> was a mob that would have been found underground in areas below y=0. The rascal would have given the player hints to help search for it, and would have also given the player an item if it was found three times. Once the rascal rewards the player with the item after it is found it will teleport away.

• The Minecraft:tuff golem<ref>Template:Ytl</ref><ref>Template:Mcnet</ref> was a golem that would have been built by the player; if a wool block was included while building it, the tuff golem would have worn a cloak matching the color of the wool block. The tuff golem was described as a statue that would have held and displayed any item, but when it wakes up, it would have also moved around while either holding an item, or pick up an item if it is not holding one. The tuff golem would have returned back to the spot that it woke up from before turning back into a statue. The tuff golem was one block tall so players can also stack them.

Result

The result was announced at the end of the show. It was stated during the show that over 3.5 million votes were cast<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>, with the winning mob, the Minecraft:sniffer, accounting for more than half of the votes. The number of votes for each mob were disclosed after the show.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
