After nearly four months of snapshots, a Pre-Release for Minecraft version 1.20.5 is now available in your launcher. The release of update 1.20.5 is imminent, and it will likely be followed by genuine snapshots for Minecraft 1.21, most of which appear to have been finalized within the experimental features of version 1.20.5. Minecraft 1.20.5 Pre-Release 1 brings some welcome as well as some disappointing ones.
