There are guides for this update!
See Java Edition guides/Bats and Pots and Bedrock Edition guides/Bats and Pots for a guide to all of the new features introduced in Bats and Pots.
Bats and Pots[1][2] is a game drop[3] released on December 5, 2023,[4][5] as Java Edition 1.20.3 and Bedrock Edition 1.20.50, which adds new functionalities for decorated pots, redesigns bats and adds an experimental toggle for features that will be included in the next major update.[6][7]
It was not originally considered a game drop upon release and was only retroactively referred to as such after the release of Armored Paws.
