The highly anticipated Minecraft 1.20 update is set to be released on June 7, 2023, and it brings with it a plethora of new features and changes. While the focus is often on the new additions, there are also several smaller tweaks that players might have missed during the development phase. In this article, we will explore five of the best secret changes in the Minecraft 1.20 update that players should know about.
1. Mob sound from note blocks
One of the exciting changes in the 1.20 update is the addition of mob ambient sounds to note blocks. Previously, note blocks would remain silent when a mob head was placed on top of them. However, with the new update, note blocks will play the ambient sound of the mob when activated. This feature opens up a world of possibilities for multiplayer worlds and servers, allowing players to prank each other and have fun.
2. Editable signs
Signs have been a part of Minecraft for many years, but they had a limitation – once a sign was placed, its written content couldn’t be edited. However, the 1.20 update changes that. Players can now easily edit signs by simply right-clicking on them. This small but significant change gives players more flexibility and convenience when it comes to using signs in their builds.
3. Customizable beds, carpets, and wool colors
Currently, if a bed, carpet, or wool block is already colored using a dye, its color cannot be changed using a different option. However, the 1.20 update introduces a game-changing feature – players will be able to change the color of their beds, carpets, and wool blocks even if they are already colored. This eliminates the need to craft new blocks just to change their color, saving time and resources.
4. Block of Amethyst Vibration Resonance with sculk sensor
The 1.20 update brings several new redstone changes, including wireless redstone functions with sculk sensors. While sculk sensors can activate each other through vibrations, the intensity of the vibration decreases when a chain of sensors is activated one by one. To improve the resonance, the update introduces a new block called the Block of Amethyst with Vibration Resonance. When placed near a sculk sensor, it will preserve and resonate the vibration caused by the sensor as a separate entity.
5. Slow falling and jump boost effects on ridable mobs
An old bug was addressed during the development of the 1.20 update, which resulted in a unique and exciting feature. Previously, slow falling and jump-boost status effects did not apply to ridable mobs. However, after the bug fix, players can now glide with their ridable mobs when both of these status effects are applied using slow falling and leaping splash potions. This allows players to glide down while riding their horses, pigs, and even the new camel mob, making for thrilling and convenient transportation options.
These are just a few of the exciting secret changes coming with the Minecraft 1.20 update. While the new features often steal the spotlight, it’s important to appreciate the smaller tweaks that enhance gameplay and add new dimensions to the Minecraft experience. So get ready to dive into the Trails and Tales update and discover all the hidden surprises waiting for you in the world of Minecraft!
