As the Minecraft update 1.20 release date gets closer, developer Mojang unveils the latest new feature coming in its next major patch. Archeology seems like such a natural fit for Minecraft that we’re almost shocked it hasn’t made its way into one of the best sandbox games on PC before now, but that’s all set to change soon.

Eager for the Minecraft 1.20 release date? So are we. The next major content update was announced during Minecraft Live on October 15, 2022, and while the update remains unnamed at this point, Mojang Studios has still revealed some of the new and exciting features we can expect to see, and we’ve already been given hands-on access to some of the new additions.
Minecraft remains one of the best PC games of the last decade, and keeps fans coming back with these annual updates. Based around representation and creativity, we know the next one will include new Minecraft skins and a new mob in the form of the Minecraft camel – as well as mob vote winner the Sniffer. While the Sniffer is still waiting in the wings, the skins and the camel can be found in-game now.

Minecraft 1.20 is coming next year, and at Minecraft Live 2022 today, the team at Mojang showed off a little bit of the update.
During the show, the camel mob, hanging signs, chiseled bookshelves, and crafting with bamboo were shown off.
Players will be able to make all sorts of things with bamboo nodes, such as planks, rafts, and more. The chiseled bookshelf will allow you to store up to six books and they can even be used as doors.
Minecraft’s next major update will swell the survival sandbox’s roster of player characters to nine, in an effort to make the game more diverse and improve representation. Existing default picks Steve and Alex are going to be joined by seven new characters who reflect the wider world, although Mojang wouldn’t reveal any more about them ahead of today’s Minecraft Live stream. Not even their names, alas. I was going to suggest Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub, but then realised that leaves one short. Gandalf, maybe?
