Minecraft Bedrock 1.20.80.22 Beta

The Minecraft 1.20.80.22 beta has been released, featuring all the new items. The heavy core block is the most exciting addition, and its patch notes reveal a ton of exciting features. To create a weapon called a mace, you can use it alongside the breeze rod and execute its smash attack while falling.

It is just right to knock back your enemies, as the mace smashes its way into your gaming world. The longer you fall, the stronger the blow. Craft this new weapon and also find a new item by unlocking trial chamber vaults.

There are also new banner designs, new armor trims, and new pottery sherds introduced along with the mace, making it an additional design for your structure.

Patch Notes

The upcoming Minecraft update will introduce a new weapon, adding a new twist to the game. This addition injects new life into the combat mechanics, and the latest addition to the arsenal is the mace, promising a new close combat experience and ensuring player satisfaction. Check out the Minecraft Bedrock 1.20.80.22 Beta Patch Notes below.

MACE

  • A new heavy weapon to smash your enemies!
  • Leverage the weight of this new weapon to deal additional damage the farther you fall before hitting your targets

    • Try it out by jumping down toward your target, and hit them before you hit the ground
    • Successfully striking a target in this way will negate any damage accumulated from the fall, similar to how a Wind Charge works
    • Other entities near the struck enemy will be knocked back by the immense force of the Mace 
  • Using a Mace will decrease its durability like any other weapon; repair it with Breeze Rods at an Anvil
  • Players can use a Mace in combination with Wind Charges to launch up and deliver devastating smash attacks on their enemies

Download Procedures

To download the Minecraft 1.20.80.22 beta, there are simple steps to be followed. For PC users, go to the Minecraft launcher and check if you have the preview version downloaded. Then open the Installation tab or the Patch Notes tab and click on Download. The beta can be played directly from the Installation tab after being downloaded. On the other hand, open the launcher's main page and select the latest version next to the Launch Game option. 

For iOS, you must sign up for TestFlight to be able to try features in apps. The number of beta players for the game is limited, and the spots fill up very quickly, which is the main problem. Anyways, you can check if you can get access to it.  For PlayStation or Xbox, search for Minecraft Preview in the PlayStation Store or Xbox Game Store.

If the preview version is already downloaded, simply launch it. You will then be able to try out all the new features, including the new wolf variants in the game. The process is similar for Android. In the Play Store, search for Minecraft. On the game's listing page, look for the Join the Beta option to join the program.
