If you're looking for early patch notes, here's what to expect from the Minecraft Wild update…
Minecraft Wild update
The overworld is getting two new biomes – deep darkness and mangrove swamp. Deep darkness lies beneath the surface. To get there, find the bottom of the cave and start digging (not straight) down. Keep your eyes, but especially your ears. One of the many wonderful things about this biome is how quiet it is. That means screaming. Don't worry, the name is misleading! When you turn it on, expect sweet things to whisper in your ears. Dear reader, I'm lying again! If you scream, you have up to a fourth scream to get out of there, unless you want to face the lonely mob living in total darkness. But before you go, don't forget to use your silky touch to mine some other forms of Skulk blocks that can only be found in this very spooky biome.
This update also brings three new Masses! Are you ready to meet the prison guard? I'm not! But for those who want to take on a challenge unlike any they've seen before, you'll find this creature in complete darkness. Stealth is the key to getting out of there in one piece, so stay sneaky!
