How Do I Update Minecraft

Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things.

It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sunrise over a blocky ocean. It's pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea.

How do I update Minecraft?

Open the Minecraft Launcher. Click on "Options," next to the username text box, then press "Force update!" and login with your Minecraft credentials afterwards. Minecraft will start updating itself. This can also be used to get a fresh Minecraft installation, which will keep your saved games and texture packs, but not your mods.

What is the difference between Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock Edition?

Java is, by and large, the more powerful and feature-rich version of Minecraft, but it lacks the compatibility and cross-play support of Bedrock. Furthermore, Bedrock Edition comes packaged with microtransactions, RTX support, and a handful of other exclusive functions (not to mention a broader set of supported devices).

Java Edition is PC only and players can only interact with other Java Edition players. Meanwhile, Bedrock Edition is multi-platform which means Bedrock players can interact with each other be it console, mobile or PC.

Gamers on the Java Edition have access to numerous communities and endless mods. These two combined make the multiplayer experience of the game a lot more malleable. The biggest con for Java Edition is that it requires higher spec machines to run smoothly.

Bedrock Edition does offer a few things that the Java Edition does not have. Mainly its marketplace, where you can acquire skins and add-ons, and the option to use controllers. Parental controls via Xbox services also provide peace of mind to parents.

How do I find other Minecraft players online?

To play Minecraft with other players, find a server first. Different servers offer different gameplay. Some are centered around building, others offer an MMO experience, and others are centered around survival.

There is a universe of possibilities, so your best bet is use any search engine to find Minecraft servers with the kind of gameplay style you're looking for. Such is the diversity that if you're looking for gameplay similar to GTA all you have to do is search "Grand Theft Auto Minecraft servers to get a list of options. Once you have found a server, open Minecraft, select Multiplayer, and choose "Add Server."

Note: To play Minecraft Java Edition please download and install Java first. (Minecraft 1.19 requires Java 17)

What's New

The Wild Update - Java Edition 1.19 and Bedrock Edition 1.19.0 - is themed around "scary things" and natural wilderness. It introduces the deep dark and mangrove biomes; ancient cities; mobs such as the warden, the frog, the tadpole, and the allay, as well as new items obtainable only in these new biomes. Complete release notes for Minecraft 1.19 can be found here.

Notable features

Froglight

- Is dropped by tiny magma cubes when they are eaten by frogs.[2]- Has three variants: pearlescent (purple), verdant (green), and ochre (yellow). - Which variant is dropped depends on the frog variant that eats the magma cube. - A pearlescent froglight is dropped if a warm (white) frog eats the magma cube.- A verdant froglight is dropped if a cold (green) frog eats the magma cube.- An ochre froglight is dropped if a temperate (orange) frog eats the magma cube.

Frogspawn

- Can't be obtained in survival.- Is laid by frogs when they are bred with slime balls. - Tadpoles are born from them soon after.

Mangrove Leaves

- Generated in mangrove trees.- A decorative block.

Mangrove Log

- Generated as a part of mangrove trees, which are located in swamps and mangrove swamps.- Can be crafted into mangrove planks and wood.

Mangrove Planks

- Crafted from mangrove logs.- Can be used to craft respective slabs, stairs, fences, fence gates, pressure plates, signs, buttons, doors, boats and trapdoors.

Mangrove Propagule (Hanging)

- Generated in mangrove leaves.- Bees can pollinate it.- Has four growth stages.

Mangrove Roots

- A decorative block.- Can be waterlogged.

Mud

- Found in mangrove swamp biomes.- Can be created by using a water bottle on a dirt block.- Can be placed on top of dripstone to dehydrate and form clay. - This, in turn, enables renewable clay in Bedrock Edition (clay is already renewable in Java Edition).

- Generates in the deep dark biomes.- Has an animated texture.- Drops only experience when broken without Silk Touch.- Sculk blocks grow underneath a mob corpse around a sculk catalyst.

Sculk Catalyst

- Generates in the deep dark biome.- Made of sculk and a bone-like material.- Spreads sculk blocks to wherever a nearby mob dies. The amount it spreads depends on the amount of experience the mob is meant to drop. - This means that even if the mob doesn't drop experience as it wasn't killed by a player, the blocks would still spread based on the amount of experience it normally drops.

Sculk Shrieker

- Generates in the deep dark biome.- Has two soul-shaped patterns in the center.- Has the ability to "shriek", emitting ring-like/sonic particles.- Is activated by a sculk sensor.- Gives players the Darkness effect when activated.- Naturally generated sculk shriekers summon a warden from the ground if activated too many times. - Sculk shriekers summon wardens only if there isn't one within 48 blocks.- Sculk shriekers placed by the player or grown from a sculk catalyst cannot summon wardens.

Allay

- Voted to be in the update during Minecraft Live 2021.- If given a block or item, finds dropped blocks or items of the same type and bring them to the player. - Picks up dropped items in loaded chunks and can carry up to a stack at a time, and cannot duplicate items or take items out of chests. It drops its collected items when in range of a note block that was played within 30 seconds.

Frog

- Grows from a tadpole.- Comes in three variants: temperate, cold, and warm. - The temperate variant is orange, the warm variant is white, and the cold variant is green.- Frog variant depends on the temperature of the biome where it turns from a tadpole to a frog.- Each variant is planned to have a unique use for players, which remains unknown.- One known use is Froglight production.

- Each frog variant drops a different variant of froglight.- The temperate frog drops ochre (yellow) froglights.- The cold frog drops verdant (green) froglights.- The warm frog drops pearlescent (purple) froglights.- Are bred with slimeballs.

Tadpole

- Grows up into a frog after birth. Frog type depends on the temperature of the biome it grows in.- The first different baby mob- Can be held in a water bucket.- Panics on land and pathfinds to a nearby water source.- If there are any axolotls nearby, it panics.

Warden

- Spawns in the deep dark biome, specifically when too many sculk shriekers are activated.- "Emerges" from the ground when summoned by sculk shriekers. - Digs back into the ground when it doesn't sense any vibration after 60 seconds.

- Because of this, it stumbles as it walks.- Has a sense of smell. It can detect and pathfind toward the general location of a player or mob through a "smelling" action.- Prioritizes smelling the player or mob that it is most suspicious of, rather than the one closest to it.- Has a sense of vibration. When sensing movement, it pathfinds toward the source of the movement.It follows and attacks players, mobs, and other entities that make vibrations.- It does not attack other wardens.- When it detects a vibration, the growths on its head rattle and light up, similar to the sculk sensor.- Seems to follow the same rules as the sculk sensor when detecting vibrations.- If any projectile (e.g. egg, snowball, arrow) lands near it, the warden inspects the location where the projectile landed, due to the projectile creating significant vibrations. This feature can be used in order to cause a distraction.- It becomes angry at a player who fires more than two projectiles in five seconds.- Does not detect players that are sneaking.- Because of this, it can detect players or mobs that have the invisibility effect.- It can also feel players that bump into it.

- Has a way to counter "cheesing" strategies like pillaring up to avoid attacks. The solution does not involve block breaking. rather, more related to psychological effects.- Incredibly strong, doing 32 - 16 damage, bringing players wearing full netherite armor from full health to 7 health points.- When the player is out of range for the warden to attack, it uses its ranged attack, a blast of particles that kills the player immediately (without any armor).- Currently has 500 - 250 health points.- At least as fast as a walking player.- Seems to have knockback resistance.- Because of this, the warden isn't needed to receive the advancement, Monsters Hunted.

- The core creates a low throbbing or "heartbeat" sound as it pulses. The sound and animation speed up rapidly as the warden gets more suspicious of or closer to attacking a player or mob.

World generation

Ancient City

- Aquifers below Y=0 sometimes generate with lava instead of water.

- Cheese caves have large stone towers stretching from the bottom of the cave to the top, and are often large enough to allow safe elytra flight.- Spaghetti caves are long, thin caves that have small aquifers and are more similar to original caves.- Noodle caves are thinner, squigglier, and more claustrophobic variants of spaghetti caves.

- Come in 6 sub-biomes: - Meadow - A grassy elevated biome that looks like a flowery and colder plains, with an aqua grass color and dark blue water color.- Generates in plateaus and the lowest layers of some mountains, usually near plains and other temperate biomes.- Contains grass, tall grass, dandelions, azure bluets, cornflowers, poppies, daisies and alliums- Birch and oak trees can rarely appear in this biome, and always have bee nests.- Only rabbits, donkeys, and sheep spawn in this biome.- Plains villages and pillager outposts can generate in this biome.

Upgrading of old worlds

- Terrain from new chunks will now blend with existing terrain from old chunks. Any player-made structures in these chunks will be either intact, buried, or deteriorated.- The old bedrock layer between Y=0 and Y=4 in old chunks gets replaced with deepslate.- If there is any bedrock at Y=0, lower places under non-air block in old chunks will be generated by new world generation.- A new bedrock layer is placed at Y=-64.

Command format

/jfr

- When enabled, begins profiling with Java FlightRecorder, as well as the following custom events: - minecraft.ServerTickTime: Sampling event exposing average server tick times in intervals of a second- minecraft.ChunkGeneration: Time taken to generate individual chunk stages- minecraft.PacketRead / minecraft.PacketSent: Network traffic- minecraft.WorldLoadFinishedEvent: Initial world loading duration

General

- Debug screen - Added three new lines: Multinoise, biome builder, and terrain. - Only appear if the dimension where the player is uses the multi-noise biome source type.- Multinoise lists the parameters used at the player's position in order to place a biome. C is continentalness, E is erosion, T is temperature, H is humidity, and W is weirdness. - Continentalness goes up as you go more inland. In areas with low continentalness values, oceans may generate.- Erosion determines how flat or mountainous terrain is. Higher values result in flatter areas, lower values result in mountainous areas.- Temperature and humidity have no impact on the terrain itself, and only determine biome placement.- Weirdness indirectly drives the PV (peaks and valleys) noise and determines which biome variant gets placed.
