This included stalagmites and crystal geodes, axolotls, copper, and powder snow, among other interesting things.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Another large update, slated for 2022, is set to be even bigger. With the addition of an entirely new biome, more new creatures to find, and other features as well, <em>Minecraft</em> still has plenty to offer long-time fans as well as newcomers to Mojang’s open-world phenomenon.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Do these new updates impact the performance of <em>Minecraft</em>? For anyone interested in the evolution of this game and whether or not you need a higher-end PC gaming system in order to keep pace with its updates, we’ll have some insight here as well.</p><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2>Is <em>Minecraft</em> Still Popular?</h2><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>After all of this time, you might be wondering if Minecraft is worth playing to begin with. Whether you were obsessed with it a few years ago or are a regular player, there can be no denying that <em>Minecraft</em> is still one of the most popular PC games out there.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>It’s not for lack of stiff competition, as <em>Minecraft</em> has enjoyed popularity parallel to a wide variety of super popular games over the years, including the likes of <em>Fortnite</em>, <em>Warzone</em>, and <em>Roblox</em>. Given the wide scope of these popular titles, it’s easy to assume that <em>Minecraft </em>has nothing more to offer, but developer Mojang has proven time and again that it’s always worth coming back.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>According to Mojang, <em>Minecraft</em> is actually more popular than ever before. With an estimated 141 million players in 2021. With all of the competition out there, this might come as a surprise.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>For hardcore <em>Minecraft</em> fans however, this is not shocking news. The game still holds up remarkably well, and has wide appeal across several demographics. Some play solely for the creative aspects, while others enjoy the thrill of adventure. There’s a hint of farm sim, there’s the exploration factor, and if you want to dungeon-crawl, <em>Minecraft </em>has that too.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Despite its simplistic-style graphics and minimalist vibe, the game stands strong as the king of the sandbox genre. This by no means is a “dead” title, so if news of the upcoming Wild update sparked your interest but you were afraid the game had died off in recent years, you can lay those fears to rest. <em>Minecraft</em> is undoubtedly bigger than ever.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><h2>What Does The <em>Minecraft</em> Wild Update Contain?</h2><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Dubbed The Wild, <em>Minecraft</em> update 1.19 will be released in 2022 and will contain an assortment of additions that will expand the world even further.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>In case you have been away from the game in recent years, <em>Minecraft</em> has actually come quite a ways from where it started. Worlds feel more lush and organic now, with more variance in the way biomes mesh and form. There’s far more items to collect and craft, and more mobs to encounter.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Bees, mountain goats, and tropical fish are just some of the new critters you will run into, each with their own behaviors and uses that add new dimensions to the gameplay. The Caves and Cliffs update really fleshed out the underground side of the game, adding amethyst geodes, organic rock formations, and fan-favorite axolotls into the mix. Alongside the usual denizens of the dark, underground spelunking has never felt better.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>For those who enjoy crafting, deepslate, copper, lush cave blocks, and candles add more to work with.</p><p><br></p><p>Considered to be a “part 2” of the Caves and Cliffs update, The Wild is going to add on a whole lot more in terms of atmosphere and items, some of which will work in tandem with updates found in Caves and Cliffs. For instance, the new dripstone blocks will be able to “form” stalagmites, as there is currently no way for the player to make these on his or her own.</p><h3><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h3><h3>New Swamp Biome</h3><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>It’s been a while since <em>Minecraft</em> received an entirely new kind of biome. With The Wild comes a new mangrove swamp area that is just as intriguing as it sounds.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>This new biome for <em>Minecraft</em> will contain lush foliage, mostly in the form of new mangrove trees, which grow out of the water. From the looks of the trailer, these areas will be inundated with water and will feature mud and wood as primary resources.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>There’s another aspect of this new biome that is sure to please, however...</p><h3><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h3><h3>Frogs?</h3><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>It appears that frogs are finally coming to <em>Minecraft</em>, and most likely they will be found in the new swamp biomes. At present we don’t know exactly what their use will be in terms of the survival element of the game, but we do know that they are a welcome addition and will help to add that extra bit of atmosphere to the swampy areas.</p><h3><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h3><h3>Experience The Deep Dark</h3><p><br></p><p>One of the more fascinating new additions to the game will be the inclusion of new dark underground cities. A new kind of ruin that can be presumably uncovered in caves, these new areas appear like ancient tombs or temples, with brick walls, candles, and other spooky elements. Along with these new areas to explore is a new “deep dark” mechanic that seems to be a kind of artificially induced darkness that is pitch black and may occur when new enemy mobs are present.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>These new “dark” areas are unlike anything we’ve seen before in the world of <em>Minecraft</em>, and may even be stranger than the Nether itself. How these areas will change the adventure aspect of the game, only time will tell, but coupled with all of the new cave elements that were just released, there’s never been a better time to start mining away and exploring the vast underground cave networks and tunnels within every <em>Minecraft</em> world.</p><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2>Is Your Gaming PC Ready For The Wild?</h2><p><em><br data-mce-bogus='1'></em></p><p><em>Minecraft</em> certainly has come a long way as far as the core game experience goes. One of the reasons why it has exploded in popularity and maintained its status is partly due to the fact that it is a highly accessible game. One need not spend a fortune on a gaming PC just to experience what the game has to offer, and while a higher-end PC gaming system will allow you to eke out every ounce of performance and play at higher resolutions, it’s not mandatory.</p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p>","id":"p0","sort_index":0,"type":"paragraph"},{"alt":"clx gaming pc","content":"clx-gaming-pc.jpg","id":"img1","sort_index":1,"type":"image"},{"content":"<p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>While you can get by with just about any solid PC if you want to play <em>Minecraft</em>, the atmosphere and visuals do beg to be played on a larger screen and with the smoothest possible framerates.
