During this year's Minecraft Live broadcast, Mojang unveiled its next big update for the ever-expanding sandbox, crafting and survival game.

It's called 'The Wild Update' and will bring new gameplay, more depth and "lots of fun stuff" to the game. There'll be mud, mangrove swamps, different types of frogs and tadpoles, and even boats with chests in them!

The great outdoors is about to get even greater as we present The Wild Update!

Grab your best friend, a treasure map, and your trusty old boat… But what’s this? Now that trusty-old boat can have a trusty-new chest to carry all that loot from all those adventures!

Ribbit! That’s no frog in our throat, but it is the sound of the newest mob to take up residence in swamp biomes – frogs!

Damp, dank, and dreary; we’re talking about swamps, not our hosts!

We’ve got some ‘marsh’ wanted improvements planned for this biome, but could someone else tell the witches – we don’t fancy a potion to the face?!

This update will now also include Deep Dark and warden - and because there's so much content in this next update, it won't be arriving until some point in 2022.

We couldn’t resist giving you another look at the Deep Dark together with some new unseen features!

At least sneaking will give you a creeper’s chance against the terror of this new biome, the Warden!

As for part two of the Caves & Cliffs update, it will be arriving in a month or two, according to the game's developers. This update will expand worlds from top to bottom.

In Caves & Cliffs: Part II you’ll reach stunning new heights and discover deeper ways to hit rock bottom – quite literally!

Our new world generation will be the perfect playground for your magnificent builds, wondrous adventures, and spectacular stories! pic.twitter.com/WDGwsysVlT
