Description

According to the document at https://hub.docker.com/r/itzg/minecraft-bedrock-server:
```
VERSION (LATEST) : can be set to a specific server version or the following special values can be used:
LATEST : determines the latest version and can be used to auto-upgrade on container start
PREVIOUS : uses the previously maintained major version. Useful when the mobile app is gradually being upgraded across devices
1.11 : the latest version of 1.11
1.12 : the latest version of 1.12
1.13 : the latest version of 1.13
1.14 : the latest version of 1.14
1.16 : the latest version of 1.16
```
Does the document mean that if you specify `VERSION: 1.20` it will get the latest version of 1.20 for example `1.20.81.01` (according to https://minecraft.wiki/w/Bedrock_Dedicated_Server#Release_versions)?
But I get this error:
```
bedrock | Downloading Bedrock server version 1.20 ...
bedrock | curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
bedrock |
bedrock | ERROR failed to download from https://minecraft.azureedge.net/bin-linux/bedrock-server-1.20.zip
bedrock | Double check that the given VERSION is valid
```

Research direction

Start with the VERSION section in the Docker Hub documentation and compare its stated values with the download request shown in the issue. Check how VERSION=1.20 is interpreted and whether the documented behavior matches the server download endpoint. Done means the documentation clearly explains the supported version syntax and gives a valid example for selecting the latest 1.20.x.y release.
