Minecraft's Big Wilderness Update Arrives June 7th
It took a few months, but Minecraft's The Wild Update is nearly available. Mojang and Microsoft will release The Wild on all platforms on July 7, and it is as large as they said it would be. The refresh adds two biomes Mangrove swamps and a "deep dark" that hides vicious mobs (such as the Shrieker and Warden) and special resources. plussoc You can also take a boat with a chest, meaning you don't have to take your items with you when traversing a lake.
The upgrade also adds the mud block (made with dirt and water, naturally) and a popular item collector mob (the allay) and a frog that develops from Tadpoles. It also produces "froglights" if it attacks magma.
The launch comes after Mojang was forced to reconsider its expansion strategy. The deep dark biome was originally planned to be released in 2021, but was added to The Wild as the developer was unable to handle the size of its two-part Caves and Cliffs Update. While it's not unexpected that the Minecraft team wants to keep its game relevant over a decade after its release however, the timeline suggests it may have been a bit eager to please.
