When is the next Minecraft update?
This year’s content update, the Tricky Trials Minecraft update 1.21, is now out on all platforms. Now we wait until the next big update gets announced for more biomes, animals, and blocks to look forward to.

Before that, though, we’ve got some smaller updates in the game. We now have different variants of wolves in the game! Or, you know, friendly dogs. They also come with armor to keep them safe as they follow us into peril.
