Minecraft 1.19.4 Snapshot 23w07a brings Archaeology, The Sniffer, Cherry Grove Biome & Cherry Wood to Minecraft 1.20. This snapshot introduces the much awaited archaeology feature to minecraft as well as the dinosaur sniffer mob and torchflower ancient seed plant and the new cherry grove biome.
This adorable ancient mob won the Mob Vote with more than half of the total votes. Mojang is gradually releasing finished and polished features to the game under 'experimental features' as the developers prepare to release the next major update, with the Sniffer recently being added to the snapshot 23w07a and beta preview 1.19.70.23 versions.
First, you need to check whether you have the latest snapshot and beta preview versions or not. For snapshots, head over to the official game launcher and select '23w07a' snapshot version from the drop-down version list next to the 'Play' button. For the beta preview, head over to the Microsoft Store, search for 'Minecraft Preview', and check to see if there's an update button present.
First, you must create a new world whenever you install a new snapshot. This ensures that no other world gets corrupted if the game crashes or encounters some bugs. While creating a new world, you must enable the experimental features datapack in order to test out all of the features coming with the 1.20 update.
Finding the Sniffer mob in the beta preview version is fairly similar to snapshots. You can only find the mob's spawn egg in the creative inventory. While creating a new world, you will have to search for the 'experiments' tab that has a separate toggle for this particular mob, making it stand out from all the other experimental features that are categorized under the 'next major update' toggle.
A good chunk of the fun in Minecraft is being able to participate as part of the community in the upcoming new features of the game. This is done on Java Edition by enabling snapshots for Mojang's sandbox.
Players can easily allow the snapshots to exist in their game by opening the launcher, going over to Installations, and selecting snapshots. Once this is done, they will be able to access updates. However, like any changes made to the game, they will want to make sure they back up their worlds before they do this.
The mob that won the Minecraft Live 2022 Mob Vote is going to be live with all of it's glory in this snapshot. While it was present in previous snapshots and betas as well, it was not fully activated and kind of wandered around.
The latest and very pink Cherry Blossom biome is available in this snapshot. It is warm and features sheep, pigs, bees, and beautiful cherry trees adorned with pink cloud-like leaves, allowing players to step into serenity.
