Today Mojang and Microsoft hosted Minecraft Live and had some relevant news to share with the fans of the massively popular survival crafting game.
During the livestreamed broadcast, Mojang Chief Creative Officer Jens Bergensten announced that the big yearly summer update will be dropped in favor of smaller but more frequent content drops.
According to Bergensten, this will also allow Mojang to “consider long-term improvements to ensure they can build Minecraft for the long run.” He also promised that the team’s dedication to improving vanilla Minecraft will last “another 15 [years] and more.”
The first drop coming is “Bundles of Bravery,” which combines hardcore mode in Bedrock (it’s still available in Java), and bundles. Hardcore mode basically gives you a single life for your Minecraft adventure. If you die, you’re done.
Bundles do what they say on the tin, bundling items into little bags that take a single inventory slot to give you much more effective inventory space.
The second block coming in a few months includes a biome called the Pale Garden and its creepy inhabitant, the Creaking.
The Creaking only moves at night and when you’re not looking at it. To kill it, you have to find its heart, which you can also put into activating blocks to get your own Creaking.
You can see how it works in the two videos below.
Incidentally, the Pale Garden biome will yield the Pale Oak wood set and the hanging moss.
Incidentally, we also get another look at the Minecraft movie, which you can watch below.
If you’re unfamiliar with Minecraft, it’s currently available on basically every platform with a chip inside. I’ve completely lost count by now, but if you have a console, PC, or smartphone, it’s very likely that there is a version of this ultra-popular game for you. It surpassed 300 million copies sold last year.
