News - Minecraft 1.19.4 Pre-release 3

First, I’d like to announce, to those who are not aware already, the name of the 1.20 Minecraft update.  Trails & Tales!  Agnes explained in the Minecraft Monthly video released earlier today that this update is about worldbuilding, storytelling, and self-expression.  It seems very fitting since everyone’s journey in Minecraft is different and every one of us has stories and experiences to share.
