Cryptic Tweet From Minecraft Developer Hints At 118 Update Coming Soon

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

It may not seem like anything to be concerned about, but Mojang employees are famous for using Twitter to tease new features - or, in some cases, accidentally doing it, at the very minimum and the tone of the tweet specifically "pre-paring" it suggests the possibility of a pre-release for Caves and Cliffs part 2.

Pre-releases typically come out within a few days or weeks prior to the official launch. They serve as a step between "snapshots" which are the test bed for new features that players could opt into, and the full update. The first pre-release for 1.17 which was the last update, took place on May 27th, and the full update came out on June 8th.

What does this mean? We hope that it means that we will not have to wait too long for the 1.18 update that will bring a brand 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.
