Update on 1.20.20
Thank you to all who participated in the 1.20.20.xx Minecraft Preview and Betas! We have a lot of exciting fixes and features prepared, but aren’t quite ready to release these to everyone just yet.

  • The Friends tab and Realms tab are now separated, for clearer feature separation
  • The Create New World flow and Create From Template flow are also separated for a clearer path into the game
  • The work on the Play screen is still in progress since a couple of features are missing, but we would love to hear your feedback at aka.ms/MinecraftPlayScreens
