Minecraft Live 2021: A Look at The Wild Update 

Agnes sounds like she’s both super happy and on the verge of tears at all times

honestly, the additions they're making to the Deep Dark really makes The Warden's name feel real. You're not supposed to be there, and The Warden is a threat you have to worry about while trespassing. I love it so much

I think it's funny how the fact that fireflies being frog-food was the last thing mentioned about the fireflies. but then became the number one reason why it was removed.

20:20 what a cool new feature for ambience! I hope they don't decide to toss this masterpiece out and decide it only has the function to be eaten..

Agnes looks 300% less frazzled and stressed now than when they announced splitting the update. Hopefully that indicates they avoided burning out the devs!

I do hope the mangrove swamps end up looking more canopied/roofed than they did in the in-game test footage. It would be so cool if it ended up looking much closer to that concept art with big roots that form these arches to boat under, with the fog and fireflies making a really cool murky and mysterious atmosphere

Those deep dark trailers have to be some of the scariest and most atmospheric things I've seen in Minecraft. They're fulling embracing its use as a horror game and I love it.

The fact that the whole team is just so incredibly excited and passionate about this game makes everything so much more fun! Also: FROGS!!

turning the Deep Dark into a horror experience was a pretty wild decision for a game like Minecraft, but I'm all for it! It really gives off subnautica vibes.

the deep dark straight up turns minecraft into a horror game. I'm a little upset it's been pushed to 1.19 but man, seeing how much BETTER its gotten since the caves and cliffs teasers, I can honestly see the devs are taking their time making it as amazing as possible

Wild Update? Pfft nah, more like "Damp & Dark Update"

11:05 for those watching a year later lady agnes does confirm birch forest I can't believe it's not coming when she confirmed it.

"Where there's a new tree, there must be a new wood type" Sad azalea noises

I remember the MC Team saying that they wanted to replicate the feel of how mysterious and even a bit scary OG Minecraft felt by introducing the Deep Dark and so I'm glad they're deciding to go all out with that idea :)

Interview: “the frogs are the first cold blooded animal in Minecraft” Axolotl: am I a.. Turtle:Joke to you?

This aged well

I'm so glad they're not afriad to delay some aspects of the game because it means they're really trying their best to put out their best work rather than focusing on pumping out updates for the sake of updates. It shows that they really truly care about their work and improving gameplay quality and player experience. It's also just so nice to see them dig back into minecraft's roots and strengthen what makes Minecraft so special, bringing back that initial spookiness of Minecraft again.

Agnes looks like a kid, an innocent teenager, a sweet aunt and a kind old lady all at the same time and it's literally melting me

All that's missing is sound reverb. Just a bit of sound physics would be the icing on the cake of course, java already has this with mods, but it honestly shouldn't be too hard to do

The positivity Agnes radiates is the only thing that makes me super super happy watching these videos without skipping. I love her soo much. Without her, I doubt I would spend my time watching their commentary

I’d love to see fireflies sync up their flashing over time, like they do in real life, to create a flashing effect. And someone else already suggested, but I’d like to second it, that when a frog eats a firefly it’s belly should glow for a bit.

"The Frogs are the first cold blooded creatures added on Minecraft" Cries in Axolotl

Mojangs funding from microsoft is very well spent money. Im so proud of the devs and the wholsome reflection of our world which theyre creating. I loved hearing the part specifically about the mud blocks too. When agnes and corey talked about how people from all around the world who live in mud huts, play this game as well. This dev team is truly and inspiration to other developers and other game companies should aspire to care this much about a games development and inclusivness to other communities

I REALLY like the idea of the deep dark cities. but the warden following me slowly is going to be terrifying...😱

I love how much Minecraft is changing and even for the better! Cant wait to see what this has in store with The Desert, Savannah, and Badlands Updates coming in the future.

The deep dark caves is exactly what minecraft needed. I've gotten a little bored of not having much mystery. Now it adds that scary feeling to it that caves used to bring.

In case you didn’t know. 2:40 That creepy theme for the Ancient Cities is called “Astray Archipielago” From Minecraft Dungeons: Echoing Void.👍🏽

This aged like the finest of milk

Deep dark cities : 2:38 Sculk catalyst and Sculk shrieker : 4:51 Warden : 7:57 Birch forest : 11:26 Swamp : 12:04 Boat with chest : 12:48 Mangrove tree generation : 13:40 Mangrove wood type : 15:10 Mangrove roots prototypes : 15:42 Mangrove swamp : 16:21 Renewable mud : 17:03 Mud bricks : 17:48 Frogs : 19:10 Fireflies : 20:16 Tadpoles : 21:26 Snowy frog : 22:00 Tropical frog : 22:40 Wild update : 24:22

This will be absolutely terrifying to play on VR, to explore the Deep Dark Cities, hearing the sounds that's surreal and you'll never know what you're getting yourself into. My cup of tea.

i feel like minecraft is gonna help alot in the ecological problems in the real world by having people love the ingame version

Okay, the Deep Dark is more amazing than I imagined, I remember that in Minecraft Live 2020, the Deep Dark was just a few sculk blocks, but now, in addition to having much more concentrations of sculk blocks in the Deep Dark, we also have the Ancient Cities , that impressed me

I think with the addition of frogs, they should expand to adding poisonous frogs in the rain forest biome. The tropical frog variant isn't bad but imagine adding those super colorful lethal ones from the Amazon and South America.

Gameplay footage timestamps: 2:39 - Deep Dark Cities 4:55 - Sculk Catalyst 5:41 - Sculk Shrieker 7:57 - Warden 12:48 - Boat with Chest 13:41 - Mangrove tree generation 15:13 - Mangrove wood type 16:22 - Mangrove Swamp 17:03 - Renewable Mud 17:49 - Mud Bricks 19:10 - Frogs 20:18 - Fireflies 21:28 - Tadpoles 22:01 - Snowy Frogs 22:41 - Tropical Frogs

I am starting to think the 1.20 will be caves and cliffs part 4 (with another name opportunity wasted) and it will include the archeology with a mesa “update” to fill it up. (sorry if bad english)

20:15 my beloved… RIP fireflies

Please bring more ambient sounds to the Wild Update. Like birds chirping in the day and crickets at night.. ocean waves, ect. This would be the perfect time and it would make the game so much more immersive.🙏🏾

Last three updates have been some of the best, with this one I feel like minecraft is finally moving into the direction of adding super rich content that exponentially increase the play time in it. I have always hoped that base game would be able to compete with mods and I can finally say with this update it now has a fighting chance against exploration mods. They really uped their game with this update, literally.

Agnes always looks adorable because of her passion to develop this game. She's having the time of her life.

You should add tropical frogs or tree frogs maybe when a tadpole grows up in a jungle it becomes a tree frog

Agnes is so wholesome, when they annouced that they were pushing second part of Caves and Cliffs later this year I wanted to hug her because she seemd so anxious and guilty.

"Frogs are the first cold blooded animal to be added to minecraft" Sea turtles and Axolotls are in shambles rn.

“The mangrove is the only tree that can be planted underwater” Azaleas can too.

We need fireflies back! Atleast as an ambience affect! Or maybe food for the alley! Please, add them back!!

The lost ancient cities ambience sounds are terrifying

11:25 This is what birch forests should look like: bright, open, ethereal. I really hope we get actual biomes like that.

I hope they consider firefly jars for an additional decoration item

Deep dark cities, and the deep dark music and sound effects are amazing

These are people who enjoy their jobs,they love doing what they do anf they have fun doing so,they have a passion for the work they immerse themselves in and it feels refreshing to just watch them interact like this especially agnes.

I love the fact that Minecraft has managed to expand, create and explore different ideas more than they use to. It's great to see a dev team that loves the game just as much as they (or the old team members) did all those years ago.

I've been playing minecraft since i was in very early elementary school and the fact its still growing and thriving even now while im in highschool is absolutely incredible and makes me so so happy

Props to the set designers! Everything looks so perfect and adds to the ambience of the show. Great job to everyone on the dev team as well, you guys are blowing it out of the water lately!

I really like how Agnes can't stop smiling, it's very wholesome!

I am pumped for this even though I just got into Minecraft a few weeks ago. Agness is so comforting whenever she speaks, this video is great.

Maybe the reason why we thought the birch forest was getting updated is because they didn't emphasize it wasn't coming, I thought it was getting updated, I'm pretty sure everyone that saw it live thought it was getting added I don't think anyone was a Grammer decoder and figured that out while watching it. Maybe because they talked about it looking Sweedish like a joke and with the new flowers that aren't in the game and the new design for birch trees and the mushrooms on threes + Downed trees and they commented on it making us think it was official. It had new content in the image and WAS IN THE NEW UPDATE SEGMENT.

Frogs should have a swimming animation where they kick their hind legs to propel themselves through the water, just like real life!

I was super sad when they said that the warden is getting moved, and then when they revealed what the deep dark is going to look like, I was all in for letting them take all the time they need

The deep dark cities are so cool!! the soundtrack is genius and it reminds me of city of ember!! epic i cannot wait for this update.

Back then we were hyped, but they yet again cut stuff that didn't at all need to be cut from the update. Fireflies, and the birch forests weren't even _touched!_ After Agnes says fireflies would add to ambience and a new birch forest would look beautiful (which we all wanted, since Birch Forests are pretty boring right now), but they both got shelved :( birch forests dismissed as mere concept art and fireflies as useless despite everyone hyped over the beautiful nostalgic atmosphere they provide.

Agnes: _"They are the first cold-blooded animal in Minecraft!"_ Literally every arthropod, reptile, fish and undead in the game: *"Am I a joke to you?"*

As someone who has been playing MC since I was a kid, back when it first came out, I am so delighted to see how great of a job the devs are doing with it. It's clear that this game isn't just a cash cow and they are deeply passionate about the game and the community and it is so great and so wholesome.

What we really would love is ambient sounds like the mod. Bird sounds and light wind breezes etc, it would make the whole game so atmospheric!

This looks amazing, but the warden looks so scary! Im exited to see it when the update is out

Agnes is adorable and seems very passionate about working on this game.

YES, Ambiance is so important, I hope to hear birds chirping, new features in almost all biomes that add to the environment and Hopefully... a New Light engine that is very dynamic to bring out more visuals

RIP 20:15 :( really would've made the world come to life

How agnes talks, her expressions, and her visual appearance really reminds me of Aurora 🌙. Purely calming.

agnes talks about minecraft like shes like a young kid seeing their favourite celebrity for the first time. i love her so much

Can’t wait for “I survived 100 days in hardcore, in the deep dark”

Not only is it beautiful terrain, but also SCARIER CAVE SOUNDS!!! How delightful!!!

This is my first time seeing this trailer I’ve heard a lot of epic things about the update and I’m so excited for it.

5:00 That just made the lore a whole lot darker. The fact that there's so much of the stuff in these ancient cities means there must have been a lot of death in these places.

Interview: "So frogs are like the first cold-blooded animal in minecraft" Axolotls: "Am I a joke to you?"

Nothing is more important than jeb being in a boat

Minecraft: The Mild Update

Heres the game footage divided into parts for you! 2:40 ancient cities 4:50 skulk catalyst and skulk shrieker 7:45 warden 11:25 brich forest concept art 12:05 swamp concept art 12:45 boat with chest 13:40 mangrove tree 15:10 mangrove wood 15:55 mangrove swamp concept art 16:20 mangrove swamp 17:05 mud and renewable clay 17:45 mud bricks 19:10 swamp frog 20:15 fireflies 21:25 tadpoles 22:00 snowy frogs 22:40 tropical frogs

Frog : *gets revealed* Axolotl : I feel a disturbance in the force.

We are lucky to have people that genuinely care about the community, minecraft was the game of the last decade

I still remember the mangrove trees and biome from the Biomes'O Plenty mod. Glad to see minecraft adding it to the base game

Mojang could add a fog that is always present at the swamps, but when it rains or night comes then the fog gets thicker and more atmospheric

It would be really cool if Mojang started making their own shaders that would go with these biomes

The passion in the air from everyone on Mojang is incredible, no matter why Minecraft is such a great game.

“With new trees, there must be a new wood type.” Azalea trees: bruh

if every dev team had an agnes, the games industry would be a greater place

i’d love if fireflies were collectible via bottles and could be placed as a fun decorative light source

Dude when the warden just crawled out of the ground actually made me jump

Agnes is such a beautiful soul

the deep dark cities are actually so sick. it’s genuinely really interesting and gives off such mysterious vibes, and it feels like it’ll be so cool to explore, like a literal deep secret. can’t wait for that honestly.

Highlights 2:35 - Ancient Cities 4:49 - Sculk Catalyst 5:34 - Sculk Shrieker 7:53 - Warden 11:22 - Biome Diversity 12:39 - Boat with chest 11:34 - Mangrove tree 14:49 - New wood type + new wood blocks 16:15 - Mangrove swamp biome 16:54 - New Mud block + a way to create clay blocks 17:44 - New Mud Brick blocks 20:10 - New mob, Fireflies 20:29 - New mob, Frogs 21:25 - Baby frogs are tadpoles *Frogs have different types that appear depending on where tadpoles grow up in -- Another amazing update to look forward to! Thank you so much, Mojang! ♥️

The mangro tree does look similar to the jungle tree but still its amazing! Loving it.

I think that the deep dark cities are a big improvement to defeating the warden, you can build up, hide behind walls and avoid attacks

No one: Warden: *deep sniff* "I smell soiled pants."

I think a lot of us that have been playing this game for the past 10 years have been chasing that feeling of when we survived the very first night. Just maybe, this could be the update to finally bring that immersive experience back!

Seagulls for beaches, albatrosses for oceans... I expect royalties from this idea :)

I've been waiting for this for so long. Mine craft is just getting better and better. I love minecraft!!!!

Caves and Cliffs feel like a mod, now with The Wild Update, it looks even more modded. Not saying it in a bad way or what. It's actually cool

"And whenever there's a new tree, there's a new wood type," Azalea tree fans rn:

this really puts a smile on my face for no reason. it makes me know why this update is taking so long. I was sad when I heard it was coming on June 8th but I know why know. =)

The mud bricks is what sold me. Finally, now I can live in a swamp in a mud house

Maybe to avoid players from killing the warden, when it "dies" it could sink back into the ground only to respawn later.
