Despite the fact that update 1.20 has not yet premiered, interested parties can test the above new features via snapshots in the Java version and the beta version of Minecraft Bedrock. It's worth bearing in mind that the aforementioned Sniffer can't be hatched from an egg for now, it's possible to see it in creative mode instead.
