Announcement «Nether Update» for Minecraft!
At Minecon 2019, developers announced a «Nether Update», but in Minecraft: Java Edition it will appear only in 1.16, and about Bedrock Edition and nothing is known at all.
But what will be in update 1.15?
In the update Java Edition 1.15, developers will focus on bug fixes and bees. If you are playing this version, you can try out the latest snapshot right now.
The new Honey Block will have the properties of a Slime Block, but thanks to its stickiness, it will be able to stick other creatures to itself!
Thus, the following innovations will appear in update 1.15:
- Bees
- Bee nest
- Beehive
- Honey Bottle
- Honeycomb
- Honey block
- Honeycomb block
Update 1.16 is aimed at updating the Nether and will bring a number of interesting changes to the game!
New Biome: Soul Sand Valley
This biome consists of the sand of souls, it is filled with blue fog and blue lights are located everywhere. If you need bone blocks, then here you can find the skeletons of ancient creatures.
New biome: Crimson Forest
Terrifying red bloody shades… This biome is terrifying. But what is there? New mushrooms?
New biome: Warped Forest
This biome is an alternative to the Red Forest, but with its own unique blocks.
Despite the danger of these biomes, you will still be able to build your new base and even find food in them!
New mob: Piglin Beast
How can you imagine new biomes without new mobs? Meet the Pig (the translation is unofficial, and the name will still be changed)!. You can use this mob to get food, but don't think it's friendly!
New mob: Piglin
Piglins are constantly in search of gold, but if you wear gold armor, they will ignore you. Piglins guard their chest, which contains various jewels. If you try to steal from them, they will start hunting you.
It will be possible to trade with Piglins! But don't think it will be the same as trading with friendly residents!
New Block: Target Block
This block is designed specifically for arrows. Hitting it activates the red stone. Hitting the center produces a powerful signal, and the further away - the weaker.
List of major changes in update 1.16:
- New Biomes in the Nether World:
- Valley of Souls
- Crimson Forest
- Warped Forest
- New mobs:
- Piglin beast
- Piglin
- New blocks:
- Target block
- Soul fire
- Nether grass
- Nether mushrooms
- Nether tree
- Unknown new type of nether sand
- Unknown new stalactite block
These are all the main changes of update 1.16, but the developers will tell you even more details of Nether Update soon!
The developers will update the mountains after the development of the Nether Update, that is, only after 1.16. They promise to rework the mountain generator, add goats and make the snow even more snowy!
