The next Minecraft update, The Wild, aims to ex𓆉pand and improve upon the game's biomes, whilst 💯also introducing a brand new one - the Deep and Dark biome.
The Wild was shown off as part of Minecraft Live 2021 and is the next big update for the game after Caves and Cliffs Part 2, which still doesn't have a proper release date beyond "later this ♑year".
The main purpose of The Wild update is to expand and improve upon biomes that already exist in the game, such as making the Birch Forest biome more unique by giving it taller trees and more open spaces. Mojang seems to be trying to give each biome a lot more to make them feel distinct from one another, alongside adding new content like boats that have chests installed in them. It's not quite as huge as the Caves and Cliffs up♑date but looks set to help keep Minecraft fresh.
Another big addition 🌠is the mud blocks, which come from the new Mangrove Swamp area. As the name implies, this swamp area will have mangrove trees that give you mangrove wood. The area also introduces mud blocks, which you can create yourself by using water and dirt, and a frog mob. The frog mob was a particularly popular addition, with fans cheering at its inclusion. There'll also be tiny Minecraft tadpoles, just in case you needed something else to look forward to.
That's not all though, as a brand new biome will also be introduced through the update. The Deep Dark biome, which was originally supposed to be introduced as part of the Caves and Cliffs update, will introduce the incredibly creepy Warden mob and acts as a sort of subterranean lair underneath the bedr𒊎ock layer. Mojang shared off a fair bit more ﷽of the new biome, as well as showing the Warden off properly. The Wardens are eyeless enemies that react to sound and vibrations, essentially making them the Clickers of the Minecraft world.
