what you need to know
- Minecraft 1.19 “The Wild Update” was released over a week ago with new features, changes, and more.
- Now, Mojang Studios is working on improving the core content update with more improvements.
- Minecraft Preview 1.19.10.23 tests a few dozen of these planned changes and is now available to players.
- An update “1.19.1” for The Wild Update is in the works, but there is no release date yet.
Mojang Studios recently released update 1.19 for all Minecraft players, dubbed The Wild Update, with a host of new content and features. While the update is far from the most ambitious Minecraft release, there’s still plenty for players to explore. Now, Mojang Studios is working to improve The Wild Update with future patches and updates.
Minecraft Preview 1.19.10.23 is now rolling out to testers interested in the Minecraft Preview program and includes a few dozen fixes, changes, and improvements for Minecraft 1.19 “The Wild Update.” There’s nothing particularly exciting about this build, though the mangroves are denser now, and a handful of changes bring Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and Java Edition closer together.
Minecraft remains one of the most popular Xbox games of all time, despite the slightly more modest release of The Wild Update, and that’s not going to change any time soon. Mojang Studios is working on a potential “1.19.1” patch update for The Wild Update right now, before the legendary studio turns its attention to the future of Minecraft.
In case you missed it, I recently had the opportunity to interview Mojang Studios about Minecraft 1.19 “The Wild Update”.
