Summary
- Mojang accidentally leaked details on Minecraft's next update, including a new biome and mob.
- The studio briefly updated its website with information on an upcoming Minecraft update, before promptly removing the page.
- Next Minecraft update will include a new Pale Garden biome and a hostile mob known as The Creaking.
Minecraft developer Mojang Studios has accidentally published details on the game's next content update ahead of schedule, revealing information on a new biome, mob, and more. These details came directly from the official Minecraft website, which appears to have been updated accidentally before promptly being taken down, but not before fans noticed.
New Minecraft updates are released regularly, but not all of them are filled with new content for players to check out. Although fans can expect bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements to be deployed on a regular basis, Mojang Studios recently committed to launching new content updates more often. While the studio says these patches will be smaller than usual, they will be more frequent, meaning players won't need to wait months and months to check out any new items, mobs, and more.
One Feature in Minecraft's Latest Bedrock Update May Be Worth Its Weight in Gold
A new feature in Minecraft Bedrock Edition's latest update may change how Minecraft is played forever with its inventory management.
After announcing the details of Minecraft's future updates earlier this month, Mojang is now gearing up to release the game's first major patch under its new release schedule. Unfortunately, the studio appears to have gotten slightly ahead of itself as it has briefly published a new webpage featuring information on the next Minecraft update. While the webpage has since been taken down, a Reddit user was quick enough to take a screenshot of the site and give fans a look at what's next for the massively popular sandbox game.
Mojang Accidentally Leaks New Minecraft Update
According to the now-deleted webpage, the next Minecraft biome will be known as the Pale Garden and will also feature a new hostile mob called The Creaking. It's unclear if the new biome and mob will be in the overworld or in another dimension, such as The End, but fans are already speculating heavily on what these new features could look like. One user noted that the name of the update is "Bundles and Bravery," which suggests the update could be somewhat scary, which would make sense as Halloween is fast approaching.
Any further details on the update are minimal, but the page does also indicate that Minecraft Live 2024, which is scheduled to take place on September 28, will give fans a new look at bundles, a returning feature that allows players to carry more items. The leak also confirms that "exclusive info" on the upcoming Minecraft movie will be revealed during Minecraft Live, as well as a mysterious new immersive experience known as Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue. It's unclear what this new immersive experience is, so players will need to wait until September 28 to find out more.

WHERE TO PLAY
Minecraft is a game made up of blocks, creatures, and community. You can survive the night or build a work of art – the choice is all yours. But if the thought of exploring a vast new world all on your own feels overwhelming, then fear not!
Minecraft has no set goal and can be played however you’d like! This is why it’s sometimes called a “sandbox game” – there are lots of things for you to do, and lots of ways that you can play. If you like being creative, then you can use the blocks to build things from your imagination. If you’re feeling brave, you can explore the world and face daring challenges. Blocks can be broken, crafted, placed to reshape the landscape, or used to build fantastical creations.
Creatures can be battled or befriended, depending on how you play. The world of Minecraft allows for epic adventures, quiet meditations, and everything in between. You can even share your creations with other players, or play in community worlds!
