Cryptic Tweet From Minecraft Developer Hints At 118 Update Coming Soon

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

While it might not sound like much, the Mojang employees are famous for using Twitter to announce new features. The tweet's subject line, specifically "preparing" suggests that there will be a sequel to Caves and Cliffs.

Pre-releases are usually released within a few days or weeks before the official launch. They serve as an interim between "snapshots", which are the test bed for new features that players may opt into as well as the full update. The first pre-release of 1.17 which was the last update, was released on May 27, and the full update went live on June 8th.

What is this implying? It's a good thing, because it means we will not have to wait too long for the 1.18 update, which will add incredible new worlds to your Minecraft worlds. It might even be available 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 pushed back to 2022's update, The Wild.
