Minecraft – Snapshot 23w12a

A Minecraft Java Snapshot

Well hello fellow Minecraft lovers! It is time for the first snapshot for 1.20. We know we promised no more major features, so how did we end up with such a big snapshot? You thought the trails were over? NO! In snapshot 23w12a we have even more tales to tell! Our devs apparently could not resist throwing in a few extra additions. Enjoy!

New Features

All features and changes from the "Update 1.20" experimental pack are now part of the game
Vibration resonance functionality has been added to Blocks of Amethyst
Added the Calibrated Sculk Sensor block
Added Suspicious Gravel, more Archaeology sites, and new Pottery Shards
Added 5 new armor trims
Signs have improved customization options
Added Sniffer Egg
Added Pitcher Plant

Vibration Resonance

Blocks of Amethyst have a new behavior when placed adjacent to Sculk Sensors
This behaviour is called Vibration Resonance, and allows players to move vibration frequencies across long distances without having to recreate the vibration naturally

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 with 1 Sculk Sensor and 3 Amethyst Shards in the Crafting Table

Archaeology

Added Suspicious Gravel block
Added the Trail Ruins, a buried structure from a lost culture
Added 16 Pottery Shards

Armor Trims

New armor trim Smithing Templates have been added to the following structures: Trail Ruins and Ancient City

Signs

Sign text can now be edited after being placed in the world
Both sides of the Sign can now have separate text and colors
Signs can now also be waxed with Honeycomb, preventing any further edits to its text

Sniffer Egg

Can be found in the Suspicious Sand of Warm Ocean Ruins
When two Sniffers breed they do not immediately spawn a Snifflet; instead, a Sniffer Egg is dropped
