Minecraft has grown exponentially since its launch, especially over the past few months. The game continues to be one of the most popular games in the gaming industry. Mojang Studios is set to release a big update for Minecraft later this year which will bring a plethora of new things to the game.

Minecraft Bedrock Beta received a new update today that introduces a plethora of new content, bug fixes, and performance improvements. The addition of several new blocks in lush caves is quite remarkable. Lush caves were added in the last update, and this update seems to make them even more immersive.
