Trivia
While this update introduces mud as a block, mud has existed in the franchise as a fluid in Minecraft Earth . The properties of mud in this update are identical to a block.
Fireflies were originally planned for this update, but were ultimately scrapped as some species of fireflies are poisonous to some species of frogs in real life.[ 3] This decision was heavily criticized by the community.
To promote The Wild Update, Mojang released a free choose your own adventure game on minecraft.net called Craft Your Own Adventure: Wild Tales .[ 4]
Kingbdogz stated in a tweet that the souls in the warden's chest is incredibly important to its lore.[ 5]
The official artwork and trailer for the update is notable for marking the first appearance of Sunny and Noor , before their official introduction into the game.
Similarly, Efe 's first appearance was in the What Will You Uncover trailer.
