The Caves & Cliffs update was announced via a detailed and thorough livestream at the beginning of October. The expansion was revealed to include a completely revamped cave system with new biomes and generation guidelines. On top of that, the update will bring new mobs, blocks, crafting materials, nintendo Switch secrets|https://switchmixzone.Com/ ore, and much more. There’s even a fully functional archeology sys


While the anticipated Caves & Cliffs expansion won’t be out in its full glory until sometime next year, Mojang has announced that a couple of minor new features included in the update are already available for the latest beta of Minecraft Bedrock Edition . These include powder snow and one of the new mobs - adorably offensive goats. These mischievous animals will jump around mountain areas, but what’s important is their angry behavior as they are capable of charging into other mobs and players. Upon the collision, goats send their victims in quite a freefall, which might be especially dangerous on the edge of a cliff. Powder snow is obviously less dramatic, but it adds a nice touch to the overall snow mechanics in the game. It behaves somewhat similar to a block of cobweb as it reduces fall damage to zero, but entities such as players and mobs slowly sink in blocks of snow. This can be easily countered by equipping leather boots, but perhaps Mojang will also top that by adding a useful enchantment when Caves & Cliffs update finally relea


Games like Among Us ** and Minecraft ** have been extremely important this year with so many people impacted by COVID-19. It is wonderful to see games getting recognition for that and the awards that dominate the end of the gaming year also give players something fun to focus


**Minecraft Bedrock ** beta players can already test out goats and powder snow as both features went live early despite being included in the yet-unreleased Caves & Cliffs update. The anticipated expansion hosts an enormous amount of new content and mechanics, but it won’t be out until an unspecified date in 2


**Minecraft ** players can have a first proper look at multiple new features included in the Caves & Cliffs _ update thanks to a recently released snapshot for the Java Edition. The test client comes shortly after the community was treated to an early representation of mischievous goats and powder snow, also included in the upcoming update, via a _Minecraft Bedrock Edition beta rele


According to the official blog post by Mojang , the list of features included in the 20w45a snapshot is pretty impressive, although it doesn’t cover all the novelties that the Caves & Cliffs _ update is about to add to _Minecraft . Perhaps, the most enticing addition is the introduction of bundles – specialized items that are used to carry and store other items. These are not proper backpacks, unfortunately, as their internal space is limited to a single stack, although it could be any combination of items. For instance, a bundle can contain 32 blocks of stone, 16 blocks of iron ore, and 4 ender pearls - or 64 different individual blocks. Apart from that, the 20w45a snapshot contains amethyst blocks spawning in clusters, new candle decorative items, blocks of copper (and, obviously, copper ore along with craftable recipes), and last but not least, spyglass and tinted glass, both of which require extremely rare amethyst shards. Players should be aware that the snapshot can potentially corrupt their save games, therefore it's highly recommended to back up the fi


While Minecraft Java Edition has always been a generally separate experience with greater creative freedom and the ability to take advantage of installing user-created modifications, it has recently undergone a unification process. Soon, the game will also require a Microsoft account to launch and log in for existing owners, which will bring it closer to the family of Minecraft products. With that in mind, Java Edition remains an independent game unlike Bedrock Edition , which is available on literally every imaginable gaming platform with cross-play support but is limited to officially offered additional content via Microsoft St


Popular Minecraft _ speedrunner and content creator Dream has been stripped of a record after the Minecraft __ Speedrunning Team issued the verdict that his "astronomical luck" during runs was the result of modified game code. Dream continues to deny any sort of tampering with _Minecraft's code in his a rebuttal, but the cheating verdict still sta


Another big winner in Apple’s awards was Genshin Impact , which took home the top prize for Game of the Year for iPhones devices . The free-to-play game managed to capture many with its Breath of the Wild feel despite fears that the game’s gacha mechanics would deter players. Genshin Impact is far from struggling; in fact, according to one report, the game is tantalizingly close to an amazing financial milestone. From the game’s release in September to the end of November the game brought in nearly $400 million dollars on mobile platforms al
