Highlights
The release of update 1.20.3 is imminent as the devs have already rolled out four different pre-releases, each providing various bug fixes and technical changes.
Mojang has an excellent track record for providing timely and consistent updates, patches, and bug fixes.

Although it is a minor update, numerous Minecraft fans are eagerly waiting for the release of version 1.20.3, as it seems to bring some key features like the “/tick” command along with numerous improvements in terms of visuals and functionality for certain items in the game. Apart from this, this update also focuses on numerous bug fixes that will improve overall stability.

Considering the slew of pre-releases that have come out for this version, with each release having shorter patch notes than the previous one, we can be sure that this update will get its full release very soon. Since this is not a major addition to the game like the highly anticipated 1.21 version, we won’t be receiving a specified release date for it. Regardless of this, let’s see if we can figure out its launch schedule.

When Is the Potential Release Date of Minecraft Version 1.20.3?

As mentioned above, Mojang does not seem to consider this as a significant update, hence, we will not receive an official release date and it will be rolled out similarly to other regular releases. However, keeping in mind the consistent track record of the devs for providing frequent patches and version upgrades, we can expect version 1.20.3 to make its way sometime in the first week of December. 

This is also due to the fact that they have already rolled out four different pre-releases, each providing various bug fixes and technical changes. So, we can be sure that the release of this version is imminent. Going against this schedule seems unlikely, as the devs have already addressed major issues through these pre-releases.

What Changes Does Minecraft Update 1.20.3 Bring to the Table?

Here’s a list of all the major changes and features that the new update adds:

  • Improved shields

  • Breeze wind charges now break decorated pots, chorus flowers, and pointed dripstone blocks upon collision

  • Updated models, animation, and textures for bats

  • Addition of “/tick” command

  • Update 1.21 Experimental Toggle

  • A new loading screen for handling corrupted-level files

That is everything you need to know about the possible release date of Minecraft version 1.20.3. Do note that there is no concrete release date announced by Mojang and the aforementioned date might possibly change, depending on various circumstances. Please take this with a grain of salt.
