It’s time to craft a boat with a chest and row your way to the new biomes. The Minecraft’s 1.19 Wild Update is finally here, and it brings two new biomes, many new mobs, and some refreshing new mechanics to the game. You can dive deep into its caves to meet and fight the scary Warden or wander into the wild to collect all goat horns to start a band. But they are just two of the dozen of new changes in Minecraft. So, let’s dive right in and explore everything new in the Minecraft 1.19 update.
What’s New in the Minecraft 1.19
Minecraft 1.19: The Wild Update, as the name suggests, brings some wild features to the game. Interestingly, many of the new features were first announced for Minecraft 1.18 Caves & Cliffs Part 2 update but got delayed due to development issues. But better late than never. Other than those changes, Minecraft 1.19 also brings tons of new elements to the game.
Here are some of the highlights of 1.19 The Wild Update:
- Warden and Deep Dark Biome: One of the biggest additions in the Minecraft 1.19 update is the Warden, which is a scary hostile mob that spawns in the deep dark biome – one of the two new biomes added in this update. But don’t worry about stepping into this biome as the Warden only spawns in the Ancient city, a unique structure exclusive to some deep dark biomes.
- Allay: The winner of last year’s mob vote, Allay, is a friendly mob that collects items for the players and follows them around in-game. It is, without any doubt, the cutest mob to ever be added to the world of Minecraft.
- Mangrove Swamps and Frogs: The second new biome that arrives with Minecraft 1.19 is the mangrove swamp. It is a new variant of the existing swamp biome and adds new mud blocks, a mangrove tree, and more to the game. To top this all off, the new biome also adds Frogs to the game. These are neutral mobs that spawn in the swamp biomes.
