Minecraft preview 1.19.80.22 patch notes: New armor trims, edit signs, archeology & more

A new Minecraft preview patch is here and has introduced some game-changing features, from new armor trims to buried structures. Here’s everything added in the Minecraft preview 1.19.80.22 patch.

With the 1.20 update approaching, Minecraft has been filled with constant updates, particularly through the games preview, which allows players to take a look at what the new update has to offer before it’s fully released to the game. You can join in on the action through our handy guide.

Now, a new patch has arrived, only this time it introduces changes to biomes, signs, armor trims, archeology, and so much more. Here are the Minecraft preview 1.19.80.22 patch notes.

Major changes in Minecraft preview 1.19.80.22 patch

You’ll now be able to edit, and use both sides of signs.

There are plenty of features coming in the Minecraft preview patch, but some will undoubtedly shine brighter than others.

Sign editing

Nothing is worse than writing out the perfect sign only to click away and find you’ve misspelled something. Luckily now, you’ll be able to edit your signs, even after placing them in your world. On top of this, you can now have different text and colors on each side of the sign.

Don’t worry, you can seal the sign with beeswax to ensure none of your friends mess with your sign while you’re hunting mobs.

Five new armor trims

Introduced for the 1.20 update, Armor trims are a perfect way to show off your travels, and look fantastic at the same time.

Mojang has now added five new Armor Trims. These include four armor trims found in the Trail Ruins and one in the Ancient City.

Archeology additions

On the topic of Archeology, plenty of new features have been introduced. These include a brand new buried structure named the Trail Ruins, new pottery shards, and some brand new biomes for you to find that Suspicious Sand.

All Minecraft preview 1.19.80.22 patch notes

Minecraft armor trims are perfect for changing the look of your avatar.

Below are all the changes being made in the 1.19.80.22 patch:

Calibrated Sculk Sensors

• A new variant of Sculk Sensors which allows you to filter vibrations based on their frequency level. They are not found naturally and can only be crafted
• They can be crafted with 1 Sculk Sensor and 3 Amethyst Shards in the Crafting Table
• One side of the Calibrated Sculk Sensor can receive a Redstone signal as input
  • The strength of that Redstone signal is the only vibration frequency the Sculk Sensor will listen to

Vibration Resonance

• Blocks of Amethyst have a new behavior when placed adjacent to Sculk Sensors
  • If that Sculk Sensor receives a vibration, the Block of Amethyst will re-emit its frequency as a separate vibration at its location
  • This behaviour is called Vibration Resonance, and allows players to move vibration frequencies across long distances without having to recreate the vibration naturally

Sign Improvements

• Signs have improved customization options
• Sign text can now be edited after being placed in the world
  • This can be done by interacting with the Sign

• Both sides of the Sign can now have separate text and colors, allowing for further customization options
  • By default, a Sign will prompt you to input the front side’s text when placed
  • To apply text to the back-side, you must walk to the other side and interact with that face to edit it

• Signs can now also be waxed with Honeycomb, preventing any further edits to its text
