For Mojang Studios’ Minecraft, the game has and continues to evolve beyond its cohesion more than a decade later. The most recent blanket update that hit the game was The Wild Update which shipped more than half a year ago. Since then, the Swedish developer has been piecing together some of its other projects into this new content drop. For instance, Archeology originally planned for the previous Caves & Cliffs Update is still underway.
Not to mention the other features currently in the works too. From the most recent Minecraft Live show, viewers voted on the Sniffer to be the next major Mob addition to the game. Additionally, the presentation also showcase chiseled bookshelves and bamboo crafting that is in the works for Minecraft.
Now on Thursday, Mojang Studios during its first ‘Minecraft Monthly’ revealed the new update has a name – Trails & Tales Update. You can watch the video below:
“Previous updates like Caves & Cliffs and Update Aquatic have been named after a theme, and Trails & Tales is no different. The name represents the journey that Minecraft takes us on, and the unique stories that each of us bring back. Sometimes, that journey is literal, like riding towards the horizon on a camel with your best friend,” Sofia Dankis, Minecraft.net writer shares.
“Other times, it’s more metaphorical, like learning how to evade hostile mobs or working out a smart mining system. At the end of the journey, however you have chosen to play Minecraft, you will have your very own story that goes with it. We love hearing them, and we hope that Trails & Tales will encourage you to tell even more Minecraft stories that you can share with the world!
“You can already try out the Trails & Tales features in Bedrock betas and previews, as well as Java Snapshots. Don’t hesitate to head out and sniff for seeds with the sniffer, trim your armor, dig into history with archeology, explore the cherry blossom biome, take a ride on a camel, hang your signs, play some mob heads, organize your chiseled bookshelf, and craft with bamboo!”
