Mojang are attempting to \u201cmake Minecraft Minecraftier\u201d with 1.20, focusing on the creative pillars of the game to inspire players&#8217; creativity.  They&#8217;ll be doing this through that typical Minecraft update feature: more stuff.  This time, though, some of it is intended to represent cultures beyond North America and Europe.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mojang highlighted the new bamboo wood set and camel as representative of areas of the real-world that haven&#8217;t been well-served by the game up to now.  Bamboo will incorporate multiple new building blocks, including doors, trapdoors, stairs and planks.  There&#8217;ll also be a bamboo mosaic block, and crafting a boat from bamboo results in a raft instead.  Larsson said rafts still have the same hitboxes as boats, and you&#8217;ll be able to fit chests and just as many people on them as a regular boat.\n<\/p>\n<p>Camels live in desert villages, and they&#8217;ll have a two-player saddle.  Larsson described camels as \u201cextraordinarily cute and derpy\u201d, partly thanks to their animated, floppy ears.  The new mount moves a bit differently from horses, as camels can dash around.  They&#8217;re also breedable, so expect to see l&#8217;il baby camels.  Larsson said they didn&#8217;t spit, though.\n<\/p>\n<p>Although Larsson revealed it&#8217;s unlikely there&#8217;s a new biome coming in the 1.20 update, there will be a few more additional goodies.  One of these is the new chiselled bookshelf, which is a bona fide working bookshelf.  Craft a chiselled bookshelf and you&#8217;ll be able to store up to six books on them.  Using Redstone lets you turn them into doors for secret passages, too.\n<\/p>\n<p>Also coming in the 1.20 update are hanging signs.  These have three variants, and you&#8217;ll be able to craft them with all wood types.  They won&#8217;t blow around, Larsson said, but you can hang multiple signs off each other in different directions.\n<\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t have anything firm beyond a 2023 window for Minecraft 1.20&#8217;s release yet, but snapshots will be coming in a few weeks for the Java Edition.  Details of how to join the beta for Bedrock should be shared at around the same time.  I&#8217;ll let you know as and when Mojang share more about the update.\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n    function appendFacebookPixels() {\n      if (window.facebookPixelsDone) return;\n      !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n      {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n      n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n      if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n      n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n      t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n      s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');<\/p>\n<p>        fbq('init', '700623604017080');<\/p>\n<p>      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n      window.facebookPixelsDone = true;<\/p>\n<p>      window.dispatchEvent(new Event('BrockmanFacebookPixelsEnabled'));\n    }<\/p>\n<p>    window.addEventListener('BrockmanTargetingCookiesAllowed', appendFacebookPixels);\n  <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minecraft&#8217;s next major update will swell the survival sandbox&#8217;s roster of player characters to nine, in an effort to make the game more diverse and improve representation.
