UPDATE, UPDATE

The Caves and Cliffs Update was so epic that the Mojang maestros split it in two! Part I stuffed in cute mobs, cool gear and rad new blocks. Meanwhile, Part II is fully focused on making the high heights higher and caves, uh, cave-ier. There are more elaborate cave systems – even the ore veins are larger. This Part II update also brings an awesome lighting source – candles!

WILD SIDE

Speaking of caves, in the upcoming Wild Update, you’ll find the Deep Dark biome underground. It’s stuffed with sweet swag. Plus, keep an eye out for the noisy Shrieker. They spawn blind but creepy Warden mobs! We’re fully fanging for the Wild Update dropping this year. It’s going to be packed with fully fresh biome, bigger, better crafting and building choices. Plus, cool new critters.

MUDDY SWAMPS

The big biome for The Wild Update is squelching swamps. Keep your ears peeled for the ribbits and croaks of frogs (plus frog eggs). Crack chests on boats. Plus, check out rad regenerating trees! The Mangrove Swamp is covered in sinking mud. But nab Mud Blocks and combo with Dripstone to make Clay.

MOBBED MOB

Mojang brought back the Mob Vote. This time, the race was between ghostly Glare. Robotic Copper Golem. And awesome fan-fave Allay. Uh oh, looks like we gave away the winner! Allay is coming to Minecraft. Task these fairy friends with collecting stacks of whatever you want.

NEXT-LEVEL NUMBERS
