1.20.0, the first release of Trails & Tales, is a major update to Bedrock Edition released on June 7, 2023.[1] The update was announced at Minecraft Live 2022 on October 15, 2022, and its name was revealed at Minecraft Monthly on March 2, 2023[2]. Trails & Tales focuses on letting the players express themselves through new building blocks and storytelling. It introduces trail ruins, the camel and sniffer mobs, the archaeology system, the cherry grove biome, and other features. This is also the first full release of the game on ChromeOS, following the "early access" phase.[3]
Can be crafted 👁 Image 👁 Image with any 20 pottery sherds or 👁 Image brick items, in a rhombic crafting configuration.
The type of crafting material decides which picture will display on its respective side of the decorated pot (e.g. an "arms up" pottery sherd in the top slot will display on the back).
The brick item will not have a picture, and will instead be blank.
Very fragile and easy to break.
Will break apart into its crafting materials when broken using any block-breaking tool.
Will drop itself when broken using an empty hand or a block-breaking tool with Silk Touch, or when moved by pistons.
Underneath a block that provides support in the center, like a fence or an iron bar.
When the hanging sign is placed underneath a non-full block, or when placed while sneaking, the chains will take on an upside-down v-shape. Signs in this configuration can be placed in 16 different angles, similar to an armor stand.
Underneath a full block.
When the hanging sign is placed underneath a full block, the chains will be on parallel sides of the sign. Signs in this configuration can be placed in the 4 cardinal directions, North, South, East, and West.
Attached to the solid side of a block.
When attached to the side of a block, its chains will be parallel, hanging onto a horizontal bar sticking out from the side of said block. Hanging signs in this configuration will display text perpendicular to the side of the block they were attached to.
Attached to the side or underneath another hanging sign.
This will display the same way is being placed underneath a non-full block.
Cannot be placed directly on the ground without support from the side or above.
However, hanging signs that have a horizontal bar will not break when the supporting block is removed.
If it is hanging underneath of a block and that block is broken, the hanging sign will also break immediately.
Unlike regular signs, the space available for text is much smaller.
Text can be dyed with any color of dye and tinted with glow ink sacs to make text glow.
Added new ambient soundtracks, all by Aaron Cherof.
"A Familiar Room" plays in survival mode (all biomes), as well as the menu screens.
"Bromeliad" play in bamboo jungle, cherry grove, flower forest, forest, jungle, sparse jungle, as well as the menu screens.
"Crescent Dunes" plays in desert, all types of badlands, as well as the menu screens.
"Echo in the Wind" plays in cherry grove, flower forest, lush caves, all types of badlands, as well as the menu screens.
Due to a bug, the Trails and Tales soundtrack does not play in the menu of Bedrock Edition until 1.20.30. Instead, The Wild Update soundtrack still plays in the menu.[6] Also, "A Familiar Room" does not play in the Overworld currently due to a bug.
Custom entities with internal-only components or AI goals will fail to load in game.
Custom entities are restricted to overriding Vanilla entities released before 1.20. Invalid entities used in the identifier or runtime_identifier field will result in content errors.
General
Added spawn_item_event event to minecraft:spawn_entity. This event is called when an item is spawned.
Added a progress handler when loading into a world that will wait up to a total of 15 seconds for the primary users appearance to load.
Lowered the time it takes to start up and load into the start screen.
Custom items using JSON formats 1.16.100 and formats past 1.17.0 can be loaded without the "Holiday Creator Features" toggle if there are no holiday components used.

Items with the entity placer item component will now successfully create the actor on air blocks if the dispense_on field is empty.
Items with the entity placer item component can now be used on a monster spawner to change the spawner's actor spawn type. The item must have a format version of at least 1.19.80.
Removed the non-functional on_repaired parameter from the minecraft:repairable item component.
Added experimental support for BlockTraits in block JSON. BlockTraits are a shortcut for creators to add vanilla block states and setter functions to data-driven blocks.
Can parse PlacementDirection ("minecraft:placement_direction") BlockTrait (adds the "minecraft:cardinal_direction" BlockState and onPlayerPlace setter function).
Can access the minecraft:cardinal_direction state on blocks that apply the placement_direction trait in block_property molang queries and set_block_property event responses.
Added minecraft:facing_direction state to the minecraft:placement_direction block trait.
minecraft:facing_direction is a six value integer state (down, up, south, west, north, east).
Can enable and access this state on blocks through the minecraft:placement_direction trait.
Can access the minecraft:cardinal_direction state on blocks that apply the minecraft:placement_direction trait in block_property Molang queries and set_block_propertyEventResponses.
Pumpkin blocks use state minecraft:cardinal_direction instead of direction.
Changed minecraft:cardinal_direction and minecraft:facing_direction states from int to string type.
minecraft:cardinal_direction has four values ["north", "south", "east", "west"].
minecraft:facing_direction has six values ["down", "up", "north", "south", "east", "west"].
Adds states minecraft:block_face and/or minecraft: vertical_half.
minecraft:block_face is a six value string state (down, up, north, south, east, west) that contains info on which block face the player clicked on when the block was placed.
minecraft:vertical_half is a 2 value string state (bottom, top) with info on whether the block was placed in the lower or upper half of the block position.
Both of these states are set when the block is placed (onPlayerPlace).
Removed MinecraftEnchantmentTypes class. Use MinecraftEnchantmentTypes from @minecraft/vanilla-data module for Minecraft version specific information.
Added support for strings in all enchantment methods for specifying the enchantment type.

getBlock now returns an optional Block to reflect it might return 'undefined' if asking for a block at an unloaded chunk.
Signs
Added optional SignSide parameter to functions setText, getText, getRawText, setTextDyeColor, and getTextDyeColor on BlockSignComponent to support getting and setting text and colors on both sides of signs.
Added isWaxed property to BlockSignComponent indicating whether players can edit the sign or not.
Added setWaxed method to BlockSignComponent to block players from editing the sign.
runCommand and runCommandAsync on Dimension and Entity can now fail with a CommandError.
