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

In October, Minecraft developer Mojang announced that part two of their huge Caves and Cliffs update would be ready in "a month or two". It looks like it's almost time, since Mikael "slicedlime" Hedberg, the Tech Lead for Minecraft Java Edition, just tweeted out something a little cryptic:

Although it might not seem like much, the Mojang employees are well-known for using Twitter to tease new features. The tweet's subject line, specifically "preparing", suggests that there will be a second part to Caves and Cliffs.

Pre-releases are typically 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 choose to use, and the full update. 1.17's last update was released on May 27th. more The full update was released on June 8th.

What does this mean? It means that we won't have much time to wait for the 1.18 update, which will bring an incredible new world generation to Minecraft worlds. It could be out 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 delayed until 2022's update, The Wild.

Is your server up for the update? Have you been trying out the snapshots? Let us know what you think in the comments!
