One thing you’re really going to want to keep an eye out for is mountain goats. According to the official Minecraft website (opens in new tab), goats can send you tumbling back down the mountain if you get on their bad side, so we’d recommend staying well away from them whenever you can, unless you want to be send plummeting hundreds of meters. Thankfully though, there’s the brand new spyglass item coming with the new DLC, so you’ll be able to spot those troublesome creatures from afar.
Additionally, Caves and Cliffs: Part One introduces the glow squid mob that was previously only available in Minecraft Earth. If you weren’t already aware, Minecraft Earth is due to shut down at some point later this month in June 2021, as COVID-19 has made maintaining the service incredibly difficult for developer Mojang. It’s nice to see that some Minecraft Earth-exclusive content won’t be lost to the game forever when it gets taken offline.
Also arriving next week in the Caves and Cliffs: Part One update for Minecraft are a boatload of new blocks. While some will apparently pop up fairly reliably in the open world, other types of blocks will be harder to find, so you can always just switch to Creative mode if you’d like to get playing with all these new types of blocks straight away. A particularly notable new arrival is the copper block, an item that’s hotly anticipated by the Minecraft player base, which will be no doubt tricky to track down.
As for Part Two of the Caves and Cliffs update, this will be arriving later in the year around Holiday 2021. Earlier this year, Mojang revealed that parts of the DLC had been delayed to the Holiday season. While some features, like the goats and spyglass, were still on track to launch in June, other features like the actual caves and cliffs would instead be launching later in the year.
