Minecraft Beta & Preview – 1.19.80.20

The Trails & Tales Update for Minecraft 1.20 is on its way, but in the meantime, the Bedrock edition is receiving a bunch of new experimental features and bug fixes in version 1.19.80.20. One of the new features is the Cherry Grove biome, also known as the cherry blossom biome, which includes pretty Cherry Blossom trees, a new flower called Pink Petals, and a new wood set. Pigs, rabbits, sheep, and bees spawn in this biome.

Other changes include tweaks to the Decorated Pot, a new recipe for the Brush, improvements to Suspicious Sand, and adjustments to the behavior of Camels. There is even a new “You Died!” screen. Minecraft players are encouraged to try out the new features and provide feedback to Mojang at aka.ms/MC120Feedback, and to report any bugs they find at bugs.mojang.com.
