Minecraft Snapshot Gives A First Look At Caves & Cliffs Updates

While the anticipated Caves & Cliffs expansion won’t be out in its full glory until sometime next year, Mojang has announced that a couple of minor new features included in the update are already available for the latest beta of Minecraft Bedrock Edition . These include powder snow and one of the new mobs - adorably offensive goats. These mischievous animals will jump around mountain areas, but what’s important is their angry behavior as they are capable of charging into other mobs and players. Upon the collision, goats send their victims in quite a freefall, which might be especially dangerous on the edge of a cliff. Powder snow is obviously less dramatic, but it adds a nice touch to the overall snow mechanics in the game. It behaves somewhat similar to a block of cobweb as it reduces fall damage to zero, but entities such as players and mobs slowly sink in blocks of snow. This can be easily countered by equipping leather boots, but perhaps Mojang will also top that by adding a useful enchantment when Caves & Cliffs update finally relea


Although there’s plenty of time left until the next major Minecraft update comes out, Microsoft is already taking steps toward uniting the game’s ecosystem scattered across several different versions. In a seemingly unwelcome attempt to promote Microsoft accounts, the company has made them mandatory to login to Minecraft Java Edition . It’s weird that it hasn’t happened earlier given that Mojang was purchased six years ago. Perhaps Microsoft was hoping to migrate the entirety of the Minecraft community over to Bedrock Edition, but Java Edition remains overwhelmingly popular thanks to its limitless modding possibilit

The recent addition of the Minecraft Marketplace, which allows players to construct elaborate and outlandish alternate game modes for Minecraft and sell them to other fans, has broadened the horizons of the Minecraft community in a big way. The Marketplace has seen no end of creations, including a playable alternate version of Pac-Man . Compared to these experiences, the maps offered for the Community Celebration seem tame by comparison. They've also clearly had a lot of polish and thought put into them, though, and at the low price of free, Minecraft fans have little reason not to check them


Among Us and Minecraft join Genshin Impact in Apple’s winner circle winning the categories for Top Free iPhone Games and Top Paid iPhone Games, respectively.

Goats are among the few brand new mobs that will be added to Minecraft with the _Caves & Cliffs _ update. These offensive animals tend to ram other beings they encounter, and given the fact that their habitat essentially covers mountainous areas, incautious players can experience freefalls from dangerous heights if they take a hit from goats. Powder snow is another new addition, which basically endues blocks of snow with behavior that of cobwebs allowing entities such as players and mobs to sink through


2020 has been a difficult year for everyone, but it remains a solid year for Minecraft . The beloved block-builder has been thriving with new content, both community-made and in the form of official updates from Mojang.

During 2020, which has proven to be YouTube Gaming's biggest year, Minecraft has attracted 200 billion views on the video platform from let's plays, streams, and other content. The social media-warping presence of Steve in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate surely didn't hurt the game's reputation eit


After such a powerful year, Mojang is giving back to the fans. The company has announced Minecraft Community Celebration , an ongoing event dedicated to the fans who've been hard at work pumping out new Minecraft content. The website has sponsored some outlandish mods in the past, including a mashup with the hit Star Wars show The Mandalorian . But the maps featured in the Community Celebration are totally fan made. Four maps are included; Simburbia , a Sim City -inspired buillding simulator, the somewhat self-explanatory Farm Life , and Bloom , which lets players tend their own gardens. There's also a rather involved minigame in the form of Terra Swoop Force , which lets players fly through expansive cavern tunnels, trying not to crash into rock formations on their journey to the planet's c
