We recently announced that the first experimental Snapshot of Wild Update 1.19 was already available in Minecraft. But then, what the Wild Update ? Well this is simply the next major update to the title of Mojang Studiosscheduled for June 2022.
On the program of this one, content focused on nature with the introduction of new animal species, new biomes and also new blocks.
Unveiled last October during the MinecraftLive 2021the cubic title will indeed welcome several new features this summer through this new big update.
Animals and creatures
Although the panel of animals is already quite complete, players will be able to discover new species with among them, frogs. These little sea creatures will be available in different colors since these will depend on the heat of the biome they are in (tropical, temperate, tundra).
Also, of course, there will be tadpoles who will later turn into frogs. Good news, players will be able to put them in seals.
On the other hand, the fireflies will also make an appearance with the Wild Update, and as you can imagine, they will, unfortunately for them, be the favorite food of frogs.
Regarding the creatures, theAllay, which won the player vote during MinecraftLive 2021 against Glare and Copper Golem, will therefore join the title in this update. His particuliarity ? Find abandoned blocks or objects for a player.
Finally, on the side of hostile creatures, there will finally be the arrival of the warden which was originally planned for the 1.18 update. The latter belongs to the Deep Dark biome and is able to detect the slightest player or animal thanks to the noises and vibrations they emit.
The Deep Dark
Like every major update, the Wild Update will be a new opportunity to introduce a new biome but also to make some changes to existing ones.
So the Deep Dark will appear in Update 1.19, although the latter was already planned for the deployment of Update 1.17 and then 1.18. From what we know, the Deep Dark, or “deep darkness”, can be generated exclusively in the slate layer of the abysses between layers -1 and -64.
In addition, it will contain a completely new structure with the Deep Dark Cityand only Wardens will be able to spawn there, excluding spawners.
Regarding modifications to existing biomes, only the swamp biome is affected. The latter will be completely reworked with the addition of mangroves, mud, new blocks, but also the introduction of our little frogs. In addition, a new type of swamp will appear with “mangrove swamps”. It will be neither more nor less than a variant.
Blocks
Finally, new blocks will accompany this update with Sculk Blocks and Deep Dark Blocks.
Sculk blocks will generate exclusively in the Deep Dark biome. These appear to be created when a creature dies near a Sculk Catalyst, and this Catalyst also generates in the Deep Dark. It can be used as a redstone and also emits light. Finally, still in the same line, there will also be the Sculk Shrieker (howler) who will have the ability to emit cries via sound particles in the shape of a circle.
