Cryptic Tweet From Minecraft Developers Gives Hints About 118 Update Coming Soon

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

This might not seem like anything to be concerned about however, Mojang employees are famous for using Twitter to tease new features - or accidentally doing so, at the very least the language in the tweet specifically "pre-paring" it suggests an early release for Caves and Cliffs part two.

Pre-releases typically come only a few weeks or days prior to the official launch of the new update and function as a step between "snapshots" which serve as a testing ground for new features that players can opt into 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 implying? Strongcraft Hopefully, it means we won't have long to wait for the 1.18 update that will add a stunning new world generation to your Minecraft worlds. It could even arrive before the end of November!

Mojang also announced in 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.

Is your server ready for the update? Have you tried snapshots? Let us know what you think in the comments!
