A new Minecraft snapshot was released on Wednesday. The snapshot contains plenty of bug fixes and also new features. The Wild Update is almost nearing its full release. It’s expected to arrive later this year. Snapshots and pre-release betas are being constantly delivered by the Mojang team to ensure that players could get a taste of the full release.
A terrifying new feature for the Warden was also added in the snapshot. If you think the Warden is scary and powerful already, just wait until you see the new feature which gives the Warden a terrifying ranged attack. The attack emanates from the Warden's chest core, which fires a supersonic wave attack. What, you think you can just tower up blocks and cheese the Warden? Nope. not today.
