Another New Biome Is Coming To Minecraft This Fall

Another New Biome Is Coming To Minecraft This Fall https://ift.tt/fQs4Nyu During today's Minecraft Live broadcast, Mojang dropped some small teasers about a new biome coming to the blocky sandbox game this fall. While the next Minecraft update , Chaos Cubed, is officially set for release on June 16, this fall sees the arrival of the Dappled Forest--a cozy red, green, and yellow forest environment that houses some new structures, new Poplar trees, and by extension, the Poplar wood blocks to construct with.

Early in the development chain, this unsurprisingly resulted in a lot of chaos, with lead physics engineer Takahiro Takayama relating that he would often hear his team exclaiming "it broke!" or "it went flying!" to which he would say "I know--we'll deal with it later.
