Exactly as we expected Mojang has already published the first candidate for release minecraft 1.19. We already told you a few days ago scheduled date The release date of Minecraft 1.19 is next June 7, Tuesday of next week, which tells us that both what we saw in the last preliminary release and what we find in this final candidate is practically the same, in any case with minor adjustments and optimizations. In other words, the new features of Minecraft 1.19 are now completely closed, so it’s time to review them.

As we have said on previous occasions, Minecraft 1.19 is being completed (almost still waiting for something), which was originally supposed to be Minecraft 1.17 Caves & Cliffs. Now that we check everything we promised for Minecraft 1.19 on Minecraft Live last October, we’ll see that there are again some backlogs.

It reminds me of an interview I had with a reader a few days ago about the promises of the latest versions and the fact that Mojang Maybe I should take my foot off the gas when it comes to news and instead we will focus on completing all the points we promised at some point, but for whatever reason we have not yet received them and will not see them in Minecraft 1.19.

So memory, twe still have archeology, copper horns, fireflies, renovation of several biomes, changes and improvements in combat mechanicsAs you can see, the list is extensive and we understand some of these innovations to be associated with a lot, a lot of work, so it is understandable that Mojang has to put time into their development. The problem is that big plans might have to be re-evaluated version by version.

in addition to surprises, Minecraft 1.20 news will arrive next October, celebrating this year’s Minecraft Live. And I know it’s not a popular opinion, but since Mojang comes with Minecraft 1.19 with a good to-do list, I think the most sensible thing to do would be to announce that the next version will add some of the pending news. Of course, this is not something flashy as promised in previous versions, but it would still serve to reduce the pressure on the development team and deliver on what was promised.

Some time ago, when it was announced that the Caves & Cliffs update had been split in two to prevent crunching, I did not hesitate for a second to evaluate Mojang’s decision positively. I am fundamentally opposed to this type of practice and it seems sensational to me that the study puts the health of my team ahead of the date and the list. It seems like a mistake to continue to pinch my fingers with promises that cannot be fulfilled in the end.

If Mohang can solve the to-do list in Minecraft 1.20, great, what should they divide between 1.20 and 1.21? I like it too. Now I hope you don’t want to promise a new big update that will eventually stay half done and also prevent you from catching up.

Be careful, I don’t mean that Minecraft 1.19 is a weak update. Not much less, cIt has many more new features than, for example, Minecraft 1.17, which lagged a bit, especially compared to the spectacular redesign of Nether in Minecraft 1.16. I’m looking forward to next Tuesday when I can enjoy the final version of Minecraft 1.19, which I suggest is that I hope Mojang will take it more calmly when announcing the next versions.

What’s new in Minecraft 1.19

Anyway, after this reflection on what I personally expect from Minecraft 1.20 and what I think would help Mojang get rid of the enormous pressure, let’s see what we find in Minecraft 1.19and which we have already seen in the pictures published in recent months.

The big novelty of Minecraft 1.19 is undoubtedly Deep Dark, a new underground biome that can only be found between layers 0 and -64, which, as you will recall, debuted in the previous update, and it is no coincidence, because in principle, both things were supposed to arrive together. It is in itself an incentive to explore the bowels of the Earth, but in addition we will find two novelties in it, which we have been waiting for a long time: ancient cities and Rangers.

We could see both elements for the first time in the experimental film Minecraft 1.19, which Mojang published in mid-February. There have been several changes since then, but its basis remains the same. Exploring ancient cities is a task we will have to do as secretly as possible and in return will not only show us spectacular environments, but also allow us to get some unique items and by the way let our fantasies run wild. , currently inactive.

The reason for silence can of course be found in the Ranger, the most dangerous crowd of all ever seen in Minecraft. So much so that if we stand up to him without protection, he can kill us with a single blow, and even if we are protected by Netherite armor with extra resistance, a few blows will also kill us. Exploring the lowest layers of the subsoil in the search for diamonds is undoubtedly more complicated than ever in Minecraft 1.19.

In the underground cities of Minecraft 1.19 we will also find the expected Skulk blocksresponsible for invoking the Ranger, but which we can also use in our redstone creations, because the sensors will be able to activate / deactivate the mechanisms detected remotely.

Another important innovation is the new biome, mangroves. As the name suggests, these are very wet areas similar to swamps and with trees that grow from the ground under the body of water. In addition, mud comes from his hand, which we can collect in the mentioned biome, but which we can also generate from the ground and water (in a glass). We will also find a new type of tree and wood, mangrove, with which we can produce versions of traditional wooden items adapted to this new material.

Also, with minecraft 1.19 comes an ally, a new crowdthis friendly one, whom we will have to save from his captivity and who from then on will always travel with us and collect types of blocks dropped which we suggest. In addition, thanks to the right training, you can handle them in the way we present.

And let’s not forget frogs and tadpoles from his hand and a new type of light block called Froglitht. The most interesting thing about them, however, is that they can swallow small slimes and then drop a slime ball. In other words, if we find a piece that breeds slime and brings a few frogs, we can create a slime farm.

And the new Minecraft 1.19, which seems to me to be a great success and which I talked about a few months ago: ship with a chest, a ship with one seat for one player, as the back occupies, as you may have deduced, the chest. This new ship modality is terribly practical when you start exploring the map, and even more so when you do it yourself, because under these circumstances it is common to quickly end up with full inventory.

As you can see, there is little news about Minecraft 1.19. I’ve said it personally, I’m looking forward to playing it, aren’t you?
