Cryptic Tweet From Minecraft Developer Hints For 118 Update Coming Soon

In October, Minecraft developer Mojang announced that part two of their huge Caves and Cliffs update would be out in "a month or two". It's getting close to here, as Mikael Hedberg, the Tech Lead of Minecraft Java Edition, has tweeted something that's a bit mysterious.

It may not seem like much to go on however, Mojang employees are famous for using Twitter to tease new features - or, in some cases, accidentally doing it, at the very minimum the language in the tweet specifically "pre-paring", hints at the possibility of a pre-release for Caves and Cliffs part 2.

Pre-releases usually occur a few days or weeks before the official launch of the new update, and function as a step between "snapshots" - the testing ground for new features players can choose to use as well as the full update, which is hopefully 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 will not have to wait too long for the 1.18 update that will add a stunning new worlds to your Minecraft worlds. It could be out before the end of November!

Mojang also announced during this year's Minecraft Live presentation that the Deep Dark biome and its new mob, The Warden, would be delayed until 2022's update, The Wild.
