A brand-new Minecraft snapshot introduces several new features to the survival sandbox title ahead of the upcoming Wild Update. The game has been continuously supported by developer Mojang since its launch in 2011 through the release of patches and updates. The Minecraft Wild Update will add frogs, along with new Deep Dark and Mangrove Swamp biomes, and players can now get a taste of this exciting content.

First announced back in October 2021, the upcoming Wild Update will introduce two original biomes to the randomly-generated worlds of Minecraft. The new Mangrove Swamp biome will be a dense swamp filled with overgrown mangrove trees. Frogs will be added as unique inhabitants of these lush areas, and they will reportedly go through a realistic life cycle from tadpole to adult. Meanwhile, the Deep Dark biome will dare Minecraft players to explore deadly underground ruins in search of valuable loot. While powerful items can be found in the cavernous areas, a deadly new foe will also stalk the biome. The Wild Update's Deep Dark Cities will be overgrown with a strange Sculk substance, too, making it a truly unsettling area.
