After the successful release of The Wild Update, Mojang released a Minecraft snapshot 22w24a for Java Edition for the next 1.19.1 version of the game. The game company has already started working on the next incremental update for the sandbox game.

Although this update will have smaller changes to the new features already added, snapshots of this update will be worth checking out.

The Minecraft 1.19 update brought loads of new features like mobs, biomes, structures, blocks, items, enchantments, status effects, etc. After the main update was released, Mojang started working on the incremental update to enhance The Wild Update further.
