For those that enjoy bringing their blocky adventures into the real world, new content is on the way toMinecraft Earth.Mojang Studios announced playerswill soon be able to use the power of pistons in their augmented reality experience. The item will be added during an update planned for next week.
The recent Minecraft Live 2020 show provided details on what’s coming to theMinecraftuniverse. The addition of both pistons and sticky pistons was announced through the show and was later posted through the company’s official Twitter. As longtime players know, pistons are blocks that can push other blocks, players, and mobs. It should make for an interesting addition to augmented reality.

One of the most exciting parts of the show was the community vote, which allows players to decide on new content. This year, the vote was for a newMinecraftmob. They had three choices: a Moobloom, the Icologer, or a Glow Squid. The community voted, and the results show that theGlow Squid will be added toMinecraft.There’s no timeline yet on when exactly it will be added, but it may be part of the newly announced Caves & Cliffs update.
The aforementioned update is all about new underground experiences for players. There will be new biomes to explore and new blocks, such as Sculk blocks thatallow for wireless Redstone. Sculk blocks operate based on movement and sound vibrations, emitting a redstone signal. This opens doors, so to speak, for all kinds of wireless creations.
Overall, it’s been a big week forMinecraftfans, especially if they are alsoSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatefans. Earlier this week, Nintendo announcedMinecraft’s Steve is the next fighterin the game. The character will have four different skins and his move set includes a lot of the typicalMinecraftstandards, including placing blocks and crafting.
