Cryptic Tweet From Minecraft Developer Hints For 1.18 Update Coming Soon

In October, Minecraft developer Mojang announced that part two of their gigantic Caves and Cliffs update would be out in "a month or two". It's getting close to there, as Mikael Hedberg who is the Technical Lead of Minecraft Java Edition, has just tweeted something a little obscure.

Although it may not appear like much, Mojang employees are well-known for using Twitter to announce new features. The tweet's language, specifically "preparing" suggests that there will be a second part to Caves and Cliffs.

Pre-releases typically occur a few days or weeks before the official launch of the new update and are used as a transition between "snapshots" which are the testing ground for new features that players can choose to use and the final update, which should be as close to completion as possible. The first pre-release for 1.17 which was the last update, took place on May 27th, and the full update came out on the 8th of June.

What does this mean? It means that we don't have long to wait for the 1.18 update, which will bring an incredible new world generation features to Minecraft worlds. It might even be available 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.
