Minecraft The Wild Update: 5 best additions

5) Frogs

The frog was first officially announced at MINECON Live 2019. It was part of swamps and competed against two other biomes but failed to win the biome vote. After more than two years, frogs are finally making a comeback with The Wild Update.

Mojang will add three varieties of frogs in the version 1.19 update - orange, green, and white. The mob's color depends on the biome's temperature. In colder biomes, players can spawn green frogs, white frogs in warm ones, and orange frogs in temperate ones.

Frogs are not being added just for ambiance. Players can use the mob to get new light source blocks called froglight. When a frog eats a small magma cube, it drops a froglight.

4) Mangrove swamps

Minecraft The Wild Update will finally revamp the dull swamps by adding a new biome variety. Mangrove swamps are an improved and better variant of swamps featuring mud blocks, frogs, and beautiful mangrove trees.

Compared to old swamps, mangrove swamps are much better and have a realistic touch. They are incredibly compact, have narrow rivers, and are flooded with mangrove roots going into the water.

3) Sculk blocks

When Mojang first revealed sculk blocks, the redstone community lost their minds due to the possibilities these blocks add to the game. Almost all sculk blocks can read vibrations from their surroundings.

Players can use sculk blocks, especially sculk sensors, in their redstone projects to do certain tasks wirelessly. Sculk blocks are also used to summon the warden and farming experience points.

2) Ancient city

Ancient city is a new structure exclusive to deep dark caves that come with The Wild Update. This mysterious structure will add a unique aspect to the Minecraft lore. Players are already going crazy thinking theories about the ancient civilization who created the ancient cities.

Ancient cities feature various useful and rare items like echo shards, reinforced deepslate, Swift Sneak enchantment, and more. Players will also have to be careful while exploring ancient cities as making sounds may trigger a sculk shrieker and summon the warden.

1) Warden

The horror of deep dark caves, the warden, was first announced around two years ago. This monstrosity will finally make its way to Minecraft with the version 1.19 update.

The warden is the strongest mob in the entire game. It can defeat a player covered in netherite armor with just a few hits. Mojang wants the player to fear the warden instead of fighting it. This mob drops nothing when killed to discourage players from attacking the warden.
