Cryptic Tweet From Minecraft Developer Hints For 118 Update Coming Soon

Mojang, a Minecraft developer, announced in October that the second part of their massive Caves and Cliffs update would be available in "a month or so". It appears that it's getting close to the time, as Mikael "slicedlime" Hedberg, the technical lead for Minecraft Java Edition, just tweeted out something a little mysterious:

It may not seem like much to go on however, Mojang employees are famous for using Twitter to announce upcoming features - or, in some cases, accidentally doing it, at the very minimum and the tone of the tweet specifically "pre-paring" it suggests an early release for Caves and Cliffs part 2.

Pre-releases are usually released in the days or weeks before the official launch. They are an intermediate between "snapshots", which serve as a test ground for new features that players may choose to use and the full update. 1.17's last update was released on May 27th. The full update was released on June 8th.

What does this mean? It's a good thing, because it means we will not have to wait too long for the 1.18 update that will add a stunning new worlds to your 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 pushed back to 2022's update, The Wild.
