Satisfying game updates every year are one of the main reasons behind Minecraft's immense success and popularity. After a fantastic nether update, Mojang released the first part of the most anticipated Caves and Cliffs update last month.
The Minecraft 1.17 update was all about preparing the game for the upcoming 1.18 update. Still, this update brought tons of new content, ranging from new mobs to new blocks and items. The first part of Caves and Cliffs has added over 100 blocks and items.
Like other major updates, Mojang is about to release a minor update to fix bugs and crashes from the 1.17 update. The update is set to be released on July 6th if no critical bugs are reported.
