The Nether Update is here

If there's one thing that is clear, it's that Minecraft players are tough as diamond armor, sharp as a skeleton's arrow, and persistent as the zombie that has been trying to knock down my front door for the past five nights. I should probably stop writing blog posts and get that iron door installed...

There’s simply nothing you can’t handle – no matter what challenge we may throw at you. You have explored the depths of the oceans in Update Aquatic, defended villages against overwhelming raids in the Village & Pillage Update, and heck – even managed to dodge angry swarms in the Buzzy Bees update! Clearly, you're just too tough for the Overworld.

So how about a different world? A world that doesn't only put your skills to the test, but is launching today on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, Windows 10, and more on the Bedrock version, and Windows, Mac OS, and Linux on the Java version.

Welcome to the Nether Update.

If you’re interested in the nitty gritty details of the Nether update – don't worry, we have prepared two hefty walls of text just for you! You can find each platform’s changelog in the links below:

• Bedrock

• Java

If you simply want to chat about the update with like-minded adventurers, we suggest you join us for a friendly conversation over at our official Minecraft Discord.

The Nether awaits you. Enjoy the update!
