How to Update Minecraft for Windows to 1.20

Got Minecraft on your PC and eager to try out the latest 1.20 version? You’re probably wondering how you can update your game to dive into all the new features.

Wonder no more! The process of updating Minecraft to version 1.20 on Windows is easier than you think.

Quick Steps to Update Minecraft

First, open your Minecraft Launcher. This is the app you use whenever you start playing Minecraft. Once you have it open, look for the ‘Installations’ tab at the top. Click on it!

In the ‘Installations’ section, you’ll see a list showing different versions of Minecraft you can play. If you’re using the official launcher, Minecraft should automatically check for updates and show the latest version, 1.20, here. Make sure ‘Latest Release’ is selected, then hit the ‘Play’ button. The launcher will download the update for you.

What if Minecraft Doesn’t Update Automatically?

Sometimes, the launcher might not update the game by itself. No worries! Just click on the ‘New Installation’ button in the ‘Installations’ tab. You can give it a name like ‘Minecraft 1.20’ and then, from the ‘Version’ drop-down menu, select ‘Release 1.20’. Hit ‘Create’, select this new installation, and press ‘Play’. The game will update to version 1.20.

Remember, you need an active internet connection for the update to download. If issues persist, restarting your launcher or even your PC can help. And always make sure you’re using the official Minecraft Launcher for a smooth update process.
