In October, Minecraft developer Mojang announced that the second part of their huge Caves and Cliffs update would be out in "a month or two". It seems like it's about the time, as Mikael "slicedlime" Hedberg, the lead tech for Minecraft Java Edition, just tweeted something cryptic:



It may not seem like anything to be concerned about however, Mojang employees are known for using Twitter to announce upcoming features - or, in some cases, accidentally doing so, at the very least and the tone of the tweet specifically "pre-paring" suggests the possibility of a pre-release for Caves and Cliffs part 2.



Pre-releases usually occur only a few weeks or days prior to the official launch of the update and serve as a bridge between "snapshots" - the testing of new features that players can opt into and the final update, which is as close to finished as it is possible. The first pre-release for 1.17, the most recent update, was on May 27th, while the full update came out on June 8th.



What does this mean? It's a good thing, because it means we won't have long to wait for the 1.18 update, which will add incredible new world generation to your Minecraft worlds. It could be out before the end of November!



Mojang also revealed , in this year's Minecraft Live presentation, that the Deep Dark biome with its new mob The Warden would be moved back to The Wild update in 2022.



Is your server set up for the update? Have you been trying out the snapshots? Please let us know what you think in the comments!
