Why Doesn’t the 1.20 Minecraft Update Have a Name?

Minecraft in recent years it has benefited from major annual theme updates. However, people may wonder why ‘update 1.20’ is just that. The ‘1.20 update’. Unlike the others, he has no name. People may also wonder why there doesn’t seem to be that a lot of content, compared to the other updates. What’s happening with update 1.20 and why doesn’t it have a name?

The reason for the unnamed Minecraft update 1.20

Officials in Mojang during mincon live 2022 stated that update 1.20 has no theme because I just haven’t decided on one. Rest assured, before the update is released, there will be a unifying theme to tie the content together, but for now, its only goal for the update is to make Minecraft “Minecraftier.”

This actually correlates with the apparent lack of content, or should I say lack of revealed contents. Mojang is now taking a new approach to releasing Minecraft updates to avoid the Caves and Cliffs update fiasco. From now on, Mojang will only reveal content when it’s late in production, so instead of brainstorming like they’ve done before, they’ll only reveal the 1.20 update features as we get closer to the release date.

And along the way, the theme will become apparent and a name will be revealed.

This allows for continued publicity as we move towards the 1.20 update and allows Mojang to set us realistic expectations to avoid disappointment. Plus, deciding on the topic later allows content to unfold naturally, rather than producers having to worry about cramming content to fit already-decided topics.
