Minecraft 1.20 is officially released! Footprint updates, story updates! Two themes!

The first official version of "Minecraft" footprints and stories, 1.20, was released as scheduled (I think Mojang does not dare to jump tickets anymore). This updated version focuses on travel, adventure, and shaping a story of your own minecraft.

So what exactly is updated in this 1.20? Let's talk about these features in version 1.20 from the perspective of "story". What role do you play in your journeys and adventures in the footprints and stories?

01. Footprint update

The so-called footprints are just journeys. So 1.20 is a version that lets players go on an adventure trip, so it has tons of features to shape a whole new journey.

The first stop on the journey: the desert. (Camel)

The camels that inevitably spawn in each desert village become an important way for players to travel, allowing two players to ride together and jump over 1.5-square-block blocks. Sitting on it, because of the height, you can block the attacks of most melee monsters. Cacti are also food for camels and can also be used for breeding.

The second stop on the trip: the cherry blossom forest. (Sakura Wood)

The Sakura Forest is a must-visit place you must visit in 1.20, which lives in the foothills of the 3D biome. Here you can see pink cherry blossom trees, falling cherry blossom petals, and beautiful pink flower clusters on the ground, definitely one of the most beautiful biomes in Minecraft today.

The third stop on the journey: the ocean. (Sniffer)

This time, the player's journey is at the bottom of the sea, and in each seabed ruin, its chest may contain the egg of a prehistoric creature of the "sniffing beast". After hatching it, the little sniffer will be born, but you can also place it on a moss block to speed up the hatching. After hatching, two plants can be sniffed, torch flowers and bottle grass. Torch flowers can be used to breed sniffers, and you can grow them on cultivated land, whether it's bottle grass or torch flowers.

The fourth stop on the journey: the jungle. (Bamboo Wood)

The fourth stop of Minecraft 1.20 is the jungle. The jungle, an ancient rainforest, has now been given a new lease of life. Of course, the vitality here does not mean that the group drama itself has changed. Instead, the bamboo included in the group play has a completely new and updated characteristic. Simply put, today's bamboo can be used to synthesize bamboo wood. and a complete system of bamboo wood synthesis list. Of course, the most interesting feature of this is the bamboo and wood boat. This boat is called "Bamboo Raft", and it is definitely a means of transportation at the heart of the 1.20 journey.

The fifth stop on the journey: the ruins. (Armor ornament)

To be precise, you'll need to walk through almost all the ruins of Minecraft. Including Overworld Fortresses, Desert Temples, Jungle Temples, Undersea Temples, Undersea Ruins, Marauder Outposts, Nether Fortresses, End Cities in the End of the Land, and more. Forging templates can be found in almost every ruins to forge new armor patterns.

02. Story update

After the journey, the next thing we want to talk about is the story in "Minecraft" 1.20 "Footprints and Stories".

Story 1: The ancient civilization of the ornamental clay pot Xia.

Our first stop was the desert. There's actually a story about archaeology in the desert. You'll need to craft an "archaeology brush" and find the desert temple. Under the desert temple, a new chamber structure has been added. There is suspicious sand in this chamber. A large number of pottery chips can be found by sweeping the sand with a brush.

Of course, suspicious blocks are not only found in desert temples, but also desert wells, underwater ruins, and ancient ruins. Desert wells are still in the desert, submarine ruins are distributed in the cold and tropical seabed, and the ruins of monuments are a new buried terracotta complex structure added to 1.20. It is found mainly in primeval jungles, primeval coniferous forests, and primeval birch forests.

Of course, no matter what kind of ruins, suspicious sand can excavate pottery chips. Pottery pieces can be divided into 20 types, each category is depicted with different patterns, and then use these pictures of different patterns to synthesize the pattern of clay pots, you can see different carved patterns on the ornamental clay pots. For example, in these ornaments we can see a small man with an arm raised, a fishing rod, a heart, a pickaxe, a skull and so on. So what exactly do these patterns say? Is it a mark left by an ancient civilization? What is the connection between ancient civilization and modern civilization? And what do these clay pots imply? That's the story.

Story 2: The story in the forging template.

On an expedition, or in a scientific archaeology. You stumble upon a strange thing called "forging templates." No one knows how this template was born. As if he were the crystallization of human civilization from ancient high technology. Because the forging template gives a completely new revolution to the existing forging system. Based on the forging template, players can even imprint different colors of ore into the armor with different patterns.

Forged templates contain a variety of different ornaments, and each forged template has its own unique name. For example, perseverance, wilderness, ribs, minarets, coasts, dunes, annoyances, pig's nose, seclusion, eyes, sentinels, etc. You'll find that almost all of the ruins of Minecraft will have their own forging template.

So the question is: who exactly made this forging template? What is the ornamentation of the forged template trying to express? Why can humans dig forging templates in sand and grains of sand? How is forging stencil related to ancient human civilization? And why can forging templates reshape forging systems? This is another secret and story that we need to uncover.

It is worth mentioning that there is a forged template that is very special. He is called the Nether Alloy Forging Template, and it is the only template that can be used to fuse the Nether Alloy with Diamond Equipment.

Story 3: The journey and homecoming

Man cannot be on a journey forever. So when you finish all the journey, you will miss your warm little home after all. So you returned to your shelter with all the loot. The new "hanging sign" along the way shows you the way, and back to the shelter under the shimmer of lanterns and torches, you take out a book and pen from the "carved shelf", record everything that happened today, and record your thoughts about the ancient civilization of this world in this book.

Are you wondering, what does the journey and story of Minecraft 1.20 really bring us?
