How to Install Minecraft 1.20 Snapshot 23W12A
Installing snapshot 23W13A 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, significant content updates such as snapshot 23W13A require a few extra steps. Once loaded into the game, click “Create New World,” select “Datapacks,” and enable “bundle” and “update_1_20” before clicking “Create New World” again. With the new world created, select it, and click play!
Please note snapshots and pre-releases can corrupt worlds! Ensure backups have been taken.
