It is now time for the first Pre-release for Minecraft 1.20: The Trails and Tales update!
From now on, you should mostly see bugs being fixed. In addition to that, pre-releases don't follow the regular snapshot cadence of releasing on Wednesdays, so keep an eye out for the next pre-release.
As always, a big thank you to the community for your feedback, bugs reported, and awesome ideas throughout the snapshot series. Let the pre-releases commence!
This update can also be found on minecraft.net.
If you find any bugs, please report them on the official Minecraft Issue Tracker. For any feedback and suggestions on our upcoming 1.20 features, head over to the dedicated Feedback site category.

Loot Table Random Sequences
The game now uses named random sequences to deterministically produce loot for loot tables. Each random sequence produces a unique sequence based on the world seed and sequence ID, which means a loot table will produce the same results when ran with the same parameters in the same world.
The ID of the random sequence to use for a loot table is specified in a new field called random_sequence.
