As Minecraft's The Wild Update arrives, Mojang reflects on "scary" decision to delay Deep Dark biome to today

Minecraft’s long-awaited The Wild Update arrives today and finally adds the game’s intriguing Deep Dark biome: a fresh slab of world for you to explore, underneath the game’s previously-permanent bedrock.

For now then, The Wild Update adds mangrove swamps, mud blocks, the helpful new flying creature the Allay, and that Deep Dark biome to explore.

Mojang originally announced Deep Dark almost two years ago, back at Minecraft Live in 2020.
