The Pre-Release 1 for Minecraft 1.20.3 was released on November 20, 2023, indicating that the update is closer than ever.
The patch’s development cycle appears to be coming to an end, as seen by the last release’s strong focus on addressing in-game issues rather than introducing new content.
In order to prepare for the release of the Minecraft 1.20.3 update, the majority of the modifications are concentrated on resolving problems.
Although there have been other adjustments, they are very minor in contrast.
Pre-releases are usually released by Mojang to address persistent bugs early in the development cycle, far before the next major release.
Minecraft 1.20.3 Pre-Release 1 not only resolves bugs in Minecraft but also makes certain technical changes to file storage, server setups, resource packs for worlds, and resource packs/data packs.
The more technical modifications may be unnoticed by average players, but they have still been made.
