Mojang Studios is working hard on the first major patch update for Minecraft 1.19 “The Wild Update,” and some of those upcoming changes and additional features are being tested in today’s Minecraft: Java Edition snapshot.

Minecraft 1.19 “The Wild Update” released earlier this month, but Mojang Studios isn’t slowing down on improving its legendary, globally-acclaimed survival crafting game. The Wild Update was a more modest content release, but it’s still going to get plenty of post-launch love in the way of patch updates, before Mojang Studios turns to what’s coming next toMinecraft.

One ofPC’s best gamescan’t afford to take a break, so Mojang Studios is working on a “1.19.1” update to further improve The Wild Update. Minecraft: Java Edition Snapshot 22w24a actually includes two new features, with the allay now being able to duplicate via amethyst shards, and players now able to report chat directly from the “Chat” screen.

In case you missed it,Minecraft Preview 1.19.10.23 was released today. We also got a chance to sit down withMojang Studios to discuss Minecraft 1.19 “The Wild Update,” and more.
