During Minecraft Live 2021, the team announced the new update 1.19 for 2022 with “The Wild Update” in Minecraft . It brings an important boat upgrade, frogs, tadpoles, and new mangrove swamps. The Deep Dark area is also a part of it.
What is the new update? Still this year, Minecraft will release the second part of the “Caves and Cliffs” update. But there is also new content planned for 2022, called “The Wild Update.”
The focus of this new content is the wilderness with new creatures such as frogs and new mechanics. We show you first insights into the update here.
“The Wild Update” with 1.19 – All content, release, boat upgrade
When is the release? It is currently planned for the update to appear in 2022. A specific release date has not been set at this time.
What is changing? With the big “The Wild Update,” the overland wilderness of the sandbox game is being celebrated. The swamp biomes will be altered so you can find frogs and their spawn there. Tadpoles and fireflies will also be part of the game.
You can also pick up tadpoles in a bucket from the water.
Depending on which biome the frogs grow up in, they can take on different types and colors. It is planned that each frog type will provide the player with a different advantage. What these advantages are is currently unclear, as the frogs are still being developed.
The fireflies can catch and eat frogs with an animation from the air.
A new type of tree is the mangrove, which is making its debut in Minecraft. You can pick the seeds from the trees and replant them underwater or on land.
The new mangrove swamp biome is full of mud.
New blocks: In the mangrove swamp, you can find the new mud blocks with the update. You can create them with dirt and clay blocks in combination. Alternatively, you can build them from mud. When you pour water on a dirt block, a mud block is created.
The special thing about these blocks is that you sink a bit when you stand on mud.
Important boat update: Minecraft players have been waiting for a mechanic for a long time, and “The Wild Update” finally brings improved boats. After the release, it will be possible to place chests in boats. You can then fill them with loot on your journeys across the water and conveniently take them home.
The Deep Dark and Warden – Release now 2022
What is it? The “Deep Dark” biomes were originally, along with the new enemy “Warden,” part of the Caves-and-Cliffs update. But the Minecraft team announced at Minecraft Live 2021 that these contents now belong to “The Wild Update” and will be released in 2022.
The new enemy “Warden” was already announced at Minecraft Live in 2020. The Warden is blind and reacts to your vibrations.
You need to know about the Deep Dark: You can expect new Sculk blocks and Sculk sensor blocks. The latter can perceive vibrations.
Additionally, there are Sculk shrieker blocks, which can apparently “scream.”
If you dare to go into the Deep Dark areas despite these creepy enemies, you will be richly rewarded. Because there you will find chests with loot that you can only find in the Deep Darks.
How do you like the glimpse of the new update for 2022 in Minecraft? Is the team currently turning the right screws and adapting the right contents with the wilderness, swamps, and the boat upgrade, or do you wish for changes in other areas of Minecraft?
