Another snapshot is already here, and this time with adjustments for the upcoming update of the year! So, today we explore Minecraft 1.20 Snapshot 23W14A and highlight the changes that are coming our way.
New Features
Minecraft 1.20 Snapshot 23W14A adjusts blocks, new and old, including sculk shriekers! Find out the highlights below.
Sculk Blocks
This snapshot introduced quite a few changes for sculk blocks! Sculk shriekers no longer make noise when waterlogged, calibrated sculk sensors now detect vibrations every second, and calibrated sculk sensors detection range was doubled to 16 blocks away.
Desert Temples
Desert temple generation was slightly changed as well. Now the newly added hidden room is a bit more obvious, with one suspicious sand always generating on top.
New Icons
Finally, Mojang announced a new logo for Minecraft Java Edition and new icons for the launcher and game. They take a much smoother appearance that looks fantastic, but as odd as it may sound, it is still sad to see the old ones go away.
How to Install Minecraft 1.20 Snapshot 23W14A
Installing snapshot 23W14A 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 23W14A 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.
