Is Minecraft 1.20 released?

Yes. Minecraft 1.20, "Trails & Tales," was released on June 7, 2023, for both Java and Bedrock editions. It's been followed by several later updates, so if your game is current, you already have everything 1.20 added.

What 1.20 added

• Archaeology: brush suspicious sand and gravel to find pottery sherds and other items.
• Sniffer: an ancient mob hatched from an egg found through archaeology; it digs up rare seeds.
• Camels: rideable mobs that carry two players and can dash.
• Cherry grove biome with pink cherry trees and a new wood set.
• Bamboo wood set and bamboo rafts.
• Armor trims: smithing templates to customize armor.
• Hanging signs, chiseled bookshelves and calibrated sculk sensors.
• Netherite upgrades now require a smithing template.

Later updates

The 1.20.x patches continued with fixes and features, and 1.21, "Tricky Trials," came out in June 2024 with trial chambers, the Breeze and the mace. Mojang has since moved to smaller, more frequent "game drops."
