Are you pre-pared for Pre-release 1 of 1.20.2? Moving into pre-releases means that, moving forward, you won't see any significant changes besides bug fixes and tweaks until the next snapshot cycle. It also means that we will be releasing more frequently than just Wednesdays, so keep your eyes peeled! However, Pre-release 1 brings new changes to the 'Villager Trade Rebalance' experiment, updates to Recipe Book search, command changes, and a new game rule!
Happy crafting!
Edit: We've now released 1.20.2 Pre-release 2.
Recipe book search revert
We received a lot of great feedback on the changes to the Recipe Book search in the last pre-release, as well as a number of bugs. As we do not have time to address this feedback so close to release, we have reverted the change for now, but we may look into this again at a later time.

Changes in 1.20.2 Pre-release 1
- The Recipe Book search has been updated with the following changes:
- The search will only match the beginning of any word in the item's name
- For example, searching for "tor" will still show Torch and Redstone Torch but not Daylight Detector anymore
- All recipes, including those that have not been unlocked, will now show up in search results
- This will enable experienced players to find the recipes they are looking for (even if it hasn't been unlocked yet) without overwhelming new players
- The search will only match the beginning of any word in the item's name
- Updated structure icons on explorer maps sold by Cartographers
- When villagers unlock new trades, the order of those trades in the UI is now always random instead of sometimes being deterministic
Technical Changes in 1.20.2 Pre-release 1
- The data pack version is now 18
- Client options are now sent during the configuration network phase when joining a server
Data Pack Version 18
This data pack version removes the recently introduced execute if function and return run functionality. Flaws with those commands (see bugs MC-264595, MC-264699 and MC-264710) require some substantial changes to fix, which we do not want to make close to a release.
These commands will instead be reintroduced early in the next snapshot series when we can take the time to iterate on and test them together with pack makers.
- Removed execute if|unless function command form
- Removed return run command form
- Numbers used as macro arguments are now always inserted without suffixes, regardless of numeric type
- Added game rule enderPearlsVanishOnDeath, controlling whether thrown ender pearls vanish when the player that threw them dies (default true)
Experimental Features in 1.20.2 Pre-release 1
Villager Trade Rebalance Part 2
This pre-release updates the Villager Trade Rebalance experiment. This experiment has no effect on normal worlds. If you want to try these changes, you must turn on the Feature Toggle in the Experiments Menu when creating a new world. You can find more information about Feature Toggles here.
Thank you to everyone that has sent in their suggestions and feedback regarding the experimental trade change! We are trying out these changes to rebalance the villager trade system and make it more fair and fun for everyone. However, these changes are not yet final, and they will stay as experimental features while we continue to work on them.We appreciate your feedback on these changes. Visit this link to share your thoughts! We have been following the discussions about the previous Librarian and Wandering Trader updates and look forward to seeing the conversation continue.
Cartographer
Before now, Cartographers only sold maps to the Ocean Monument and Woodland Mansion. In this experiment Cartographers can sell seven new maps as well. These new maps each point to a different village or structure and can be used to find seven different biomes. This will help players who want to quickly find a specific location without waiting until they come across it by chance.
Cartographers from different biomes will sell a different selection of maps. Starting from one village, it will be possible to find every other village type by following maps from village to village.
