In mid-September, the Mojang Studios team completed testing of the major Wilderness Bound update for Minecraft. The update has been fully released, and now all players in Minecraft Bedrock and Minecraft Java can explore the new features.
Mojang Studios published a short trailer for the update:
There is also an extended overview trailer – made by developer Mikael "Slicedlime" Hedberg:
With the Wilderness Bound update, a new biome called Dappled Forest has been added to Minecraft. In this biome, you can find poplars with colorful leaves, as well as red bushes and shelf fungi. The biome is inhabited by peaceful mobs; for example (depending on conditions), players can expect to find sheep, chickens, cows, pigs, foxes, and rabbits.
In the Dappled Forest, taiga, and other forest biomes, "abandoned camps" will now spawn – in them, players can find explorer maps that may lead to various interesting locations.
In addition, it is now possible to craft a straw bed – it is single-use, meaning it will break after the first use. This bed is used to skip the night in the Overworld. Another feature of the update is pillows: characters can craft them and then sit on them.
The full description of update 26.50 for Minecraft Bedrock is available at the following link, and 26.3 for Minecraft Java is presented here.
