1.20 "The Dimensions Update"

1.20 "The Dimensions Update" Is an update comparable to the Caves and Cliffs update. Announced at Minecraft Festival 2022, 1.20 adds a lot of new things, including new features to the nether and the end, and adding a new dimension based on a popular mod called the Aether. After lots of discussion, The Aether became a part of the official Minecraft game, adding in all of it's original features from the original mod.
1.20 was actually in development since early 2022 and has been tested out by the Super Secret Update Squad.
