Minecraft snapshots are test versions featuring experimental features and changes before being officially integrated into full releases. They're primarily for Minecraft's Java Edition and follow a naming convention denoting the year, week, and release order. For instance, 23w04a indicates the fourth snapshot of week 4 in 2023 for Minecraft version 1.20. These snapshots are aimed at players interested in testing new features and offering feedback to Mojang AB, the developer of Minecraft.
Note: Exercise caution when installing snapshots, as they may lead to potential server issues.
