Cryptic Tweet From Minecraft Developer Hints To 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 more". Screamyguy's blog getting close to there, as Mikael Hedberg who is the Technical Lead of Minecraft Java Edition, has tweeted something that's a bit obscure.

It might not be anything to be concerned about however, Mojang employees are known for using Twitter to tease upcoming features - or, in some cases, accidentally doing so, at least - and the wording in the tweet, specifically "pre-paring" suggests the possibility of a pre-release for Caves and Cliffs part two.

Pre-releases are usually released a few days to weeks prior to the official launch. They are an intermediate between "snapshots", which are the testing ground for new features that players could decide to take advantage of, and the full update. 1.17's last update was released on May 27th. The full update was released on June 8th.

What is this implying? Hopefully, it means we won't have long to wait for the 1.18 update that will bring a brand new world generation to your Minecraft worlds. It could be out before November ends!

Mojang also revealed in this year's Minecraft Live presentation, that the Deep Dark biome with its new mob The Warden would be moved back to The Wild update in 2022.

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