We're also getting options more about adventure with the new camel mount and archaeology-both found in the deserts. It's no shock then that several of the new features for 1.20 are centered around building your way: new aesthetic blocks and a functional bookshelf. They don't want Minecraft to feel clingy, they've said, and always want players to keep coming back because they're feeling inspired, not because they feel forced by the crafting grind. Mojang let us in on what they chose as themes for the 1.20 update early on, namely 'self expression, creativity, and intrinsic motivation.' That last part is something that I got to hear quite a bit about from Minecraft's game director Agnes Larsson and gameplay designer Nir Vaknin when I interviewed them in 2022.
