In October, Minecraft developer Mojang announced that the second part of their gigantic Caves and Cliffs update would be out in "a month or two". It's almost there, as Mikael Hedberg, the Tech Lead of Minecraft Java Edition, has just tweeted something a bit mysterious.
While it might not sound like much, Mojang employees are famous for using Twitter to tease new features. The tweet's language, specifically "preparing", suggests that there will be a second part to Caves and Cliffs.
Pre-releases typically occur just a few days or even weeks prior to the official launch of the new update and function as a step between "snapshots" which are the testing ground for new features that players can select and the final update, which is as close to completion as possible. 1.17's last update was released on May 27th. The full update was released on June 8th.
What is this all about? We hope that it means that we won't have long to wait for the 1.18 update that will bring a brand new worlds to your Minecraft worlds. It could be out before November ends!
Mojang also revealed , in this year's Minecraft Live presentation, that the Deep Dark biome with its new mob The Warden would be moved back to The Wild update in 2022.
