Though the exact release date was not revealed, several players speculated that the update would drop sometime in June simply because Mojang finished the snapshot phase of the update and entered the pre-release phase. This meant that all the main features were complete and ready; they only had to focus on a few minor details.

After the pre-release phase, the update will enter its final stage, where Mojang will release a few release candidates to see which version is best suited for official release.
