how do i update my game?

i want to use mods but i cant for the life of me figure out how to update my game to 1.20. i think im just dumb

You're not dumb - 1.20 simply isn't out yet.

You can get prereleases, but those are usually buggy messes meant to discover and fix bugs by the brute force method of letting masochistic volunteers at them. Worlds created in prereleases are not guaranteed to be compatible with the final release.

Therefore, I really recommend you don't upgrade your existing worlds to a 1.20 prerelease build. Just be patient - and once the update is released in a stable version, you will actually get a popup in the main menu of the game offering to automatically download and apply the update.

If you do want to try a prerelease build nevertheless, you can find them for manual download in the Client Area of the website. I recommend making a parallel installation next to your existing one.

So far there don't seem to be a lot of problems I've encountered in 1.20. And they must have listened to the complaints because MFS is all over the place. But I also do not intend to carry my world forward, either, so don't much care if it's a little buggy. Wolves might be a bit more common, but seem less aggressive. Not that they won't aggro, but it takes them a second longer. So far, I've only been bitten once in probably about 40 hours of game play, and that's when I only saw one of them, so was a little reckless...

But, yeah, definitely parallel installation.

Lurker, huh, @Simplified?  Welcome to the forums. You will likely get another welcome when you make your first post.
