Minecraft The Wild Update: Things known so far

The Wild update was announced at the annual live event held in October 2021. Based on previous updates, players have already speculated on an expected release date for the 1.19 update.

Minecraft's The Wild Update is expected to be released in the summer of 2022. Like Caves & Cliffs Part I, players can expect the 1.19 update to arrive around June 10. However, these are just speculations, and Mojang can always push the update to a later date.

The Wild Update aims to improve different wild biome types by adding new variations. So far, only mangrove swamps have been revealed. The deep dark cave biome will also release with The Wild Update.

New mobs

Several new mobs have been revealed for The Wild Update. The most anticipated mob, titled the warden, will finally arrive with The Wild Update. Courageous players will find this monstrosity hidden in deep dark caves.

The winner of the mob vote 2021, the Allay, will also be released with The Wild Update. Players will also find frogs, tadpoles, and fireflies in the 1.19 update.

New blocks and items

Every major update brings new blocks to Minecraft, and The Wild Update is no different. Many blocks have already been revealed in official previews shown during the developers' live streams. Here is a list of new blocks announced/shown so far:

Mojang will most likely add more new resources in the upcoming beta and snapshots.

Due to this, the last update didn't feature any new blocks or items other than a music disc.
