Minecraft updates are exciting for players as each new version introduces an array of new features and changes, as well as mobs and items, just like the recent The Garden Awakens drop. Ever since Mojang has replaced the annual update with frequent game drops, players have been on the edge of their seats to know the release date for the next drop.

Based on past trends, players can expect the next drop to arrive in June. This timeline for the summer game drop is based on trends over the last few years, where Mojang has always released a major update during the summer. Similarly, players can expect the next drop to be released during June.

Additionally, game drops have been following a format of three-month gaps based on the past difference between the release of drops like Bundles of Bravery, The Garden Awakens, and more. Following this new format, the upcoming game drop may arrive in June.

The latest betas, previews, and snapshots have indicated that players are in for a treat, with major new items set to arrive as part of the drop. Gamers can look forward to the new happy ghast and associated mobs, and a major overhaul to items like the leads and saddles.

Additionally, Vibrant Visuals is set to be one of the biggest visual overhauls to the game in decades. The upcoming game drop will also improve the fog generation in the game, as well as address an array of bugs and persistent issues, making it a significant update.
