Mojang's MinecraftLive event has revealed a number of key features included in Minecraft's major 1.20 update, although no definitive release date or title for the update has been announced yet. Of particular note is seven new default character skins for Minecraftplayers to choose from along with a number of new bricks, craftable objects, a new wood type, and a new ridable mob.
Minecraft has long captured the imaginations of players from all walks of life, achieving status as the best-selling game of all time thanks to its appeal to both young gamers and adults.

Most recently, the Caves and Cliffs update in 2021 added new biomes, revamped the terrain generation for more dramatic environments, and increased the game's maximum height and depth.
