How to Install Minecraft 1.20.2 Snapshot 23W35A
Installing Minecraft 1.20.2 Snapshot 23W35A on Java Edition begins right inside the Minecraft client. First, open the Minecraft Launcher and enable snapshots in the “Installations” tab. Second, click “New Installation,” select “Latest Snapshot” in the drop-down menu, and then click create. The new snapshot installation will now be a selectable option before clicking play.
However, the experimental features in Minecraft 1.20.2 require some extra steps once in-game. First, select “Create New World” and then “Experimental.” This should bring up a list of optional features that can be enabled. Once the desired settings are selected, head back out and click “Create New World” again. With the new world made, all that’s left is to select it and click play!
Please note snapshots can corrupt old worlds! Ensure backups have been taken.

Minecraft 1.20.2 Snapshot 23W35A Patch Notes
Minecraft 1.20.2 is shaping up to be quite the patch, but we can’t help but wonder how the community will react. Mending no longer being as easy as placing a lectern may be quite the controversy. However, we expect Mojang to use their data to do what’s best.
Until Next Time,
