Minecraft 1.20 update name

Through the premiere episode of Minecraft Monthly Mojang has announced the name of the upcoming 1.20 update, calling it Trails & Tales.

The Minecraft Trails & Tales update, previously referred to as the 1.20 update was originally introduced during the 2022 Minecraft Live, where fans voted on the next mob and the developers gave sneak peeks of the coming features as well as the upcoming Minecraft Legends. However, learning from the 1.19 update, Mojang explained how they would be slowly announcing features and the name of the update, rather than promising too much.

Now, thanks to the premiere episode of Minecraft Monthly we finally have the final name for the highly anticipated Minecraft 1.20 update, otherwise known as Trails & Tales. Here’s everything we know about the new update.
