The highly anticipated Minecraft 1.19 update, predominantly known as 'The Wild Update', is finally set to release for all supported platforms later this week.

Java players have already had the chance to experience some of the new features coming in Minecraft's 1.19 update, via numerous snapshots and pre-releases. But, whether you're on the Bedrock or Java version of Minecraft, the final version is set to be released on Tuesday, June 7th, 2022.

The update will include a bunch of new blocks, biomes, mobs, items, and more. But, most importantly, players need to beware of the Warden, the first fully blind mob in Minecraft that detects players based on movements, vibrations, and smell.
