Minecraft will get the big update 1.20 in 2023. Some of this can already be tested, but not all of the new features are already known. In a surprising announcement, the developers now showed that armor can soon be decorated with other materials.
The block game Minecraft is currently experiencing a little hype in Germany. Some major streamers have been exploring the game for the first time, bringing in many new players and viewers.
Among them are EliasN, who doesn’t check anything at first, or MontanaBlack, who discovered Minecraft’s Pay2Win page.
But there is also a lot coming up in the game in 2023. The big update 1.20 is coming later this year. The first features are already known, and certain things can even be tested on a test server.
With the latest feature presented, the developers have apparently hit a nerve again – you can soon decorate armor.
Minecraft 1.0 was released in 2011, so you might think the game has been around forever. Check out the iconic trailer for the game here:

What is presented now? On the evening of January 24th, the official Twitter account showed a new feature that can now be tested with the current snapshot version:
The feature changes the function of the forge table and the way you can craft Netherite gear. After update 1.20, you will need certain forge templates to be able to upgrade diamond upgrade to netherite level.
There are also such templates for optical adjustments. So you can find templates for armor, which can then be used to combine crystals or bars with armor parts. You can then decorate armor with the following materials:
Armor cannot be adorned with the material from which it was made. In addition, there will be different types of templates that lead to different results. The adjustments are purely visual and do not change the armor values.
The complete English patch notes for the feature are available on minecraft.net. You can find more information about update 1.20 from the colleagues at GameStar.
What are the reactions? The announcement was immediately well received on Twitter. Many are surprised by the innovation:
Minecraft has once again managed to bring a feature that nobody really thought of and now suddenly everyone wants it. By the way, they did a similar thing recently with a bug that suddenly disappeared after 10 years.
