Today, Mojang shared the first details about the next major update for Minecraft, version 1.20. It will launch sometime in 2023. Mojang will be using the time until release to shape the update throughout the development process and gain input from the community.
Although a name for the update hasn’t been shared, we do know what the theme is. It’s intended to enable self-expression through representation.
