The overhaul for Minecraft‘s underworld is almost here. Mojang have been throwing out new information about the changes coming to The Nether for a while now and you’ll get to test it out for your self earlier than the month ends. The Nether Update launches on June 23rd for each the Windows 10 and Java editions of Minecraft.
I popped in to check out among the new underworld areas earlier this yr when the first Nether Update snapshot received pushed to the Java version of the game. At the time I principally flew round testing the brand new biomes being added.
Up till now, The Nether has had only one large biome filled with lava, soul sand, and fortresses. The replace will add the spooky blueish Soulsand Valley, blood crimson Crimson Forest, otherworldly teal Warped Forest, and the grim, gray Basalt Deltas. Each biome has totally different spawn charges for Minecraft’s Nether creatures, together with the brand new baddies coming with the replace.
Naturally, many of the new mobs within the Nether will need to kill you. The Hoglins are hostile mobs that you would be able to seize and breed for meals in the event that they don’t homicide you first. Piglins are humanoid mobs that may assault you with sword and crossbows. Apparently they love gold a lot that in case you put on gold armor they’ll be passive and open to commerce with you in trade for gold ingots.
The Striders are the weirdest however the coolest for my part. They’re odd reddish creatures that appear like a head with two legs connected. They can stroll on lava, a helpful skill made even handier for gamers who determine to saddle and experience them throughout the Nether’s large lava seas.
It’s a severely massive replace for what appears like one in every of Minecraft’s final massive frontiers. Mojang have given some like to all the pieces from oceans to villages to mineshafts whereas the Nether has remained largely the identical spooky place it’s all the time been. Heck, don’t all of us need to construct our Nether bases out of one thing aside from Netherrack and Quartz? Think of the constructing potentialities with new Nether blocks.
One of the opposite massive additions within the replace is a set of new musical pieces by composer Lena Raine who you could know for her work on Celeste.
You can discover out extra concerning the Nether replace on its official website. It will hit each the Windows 10 and Java editions of the game on Tuesday, June 23rd.
