Minecraft has completely revamped how it handles updates, and at Minecraft Live this past weekend the devs at Mojang unveiled the first batch of content for this new era. It is, as promised, smaller than the big annual updates that have come before, but with a whole new biome and a rad-looking new mob it's also a lot more substantial than I was expecting.
The new biome is the Pale Garden, which is a creepy forest filled with hanging moss to limit your visibility. Here you'll be able to harvest pale wood, a new material type you'll be able to craft into white planks, fences, gates, and the like. Mojang puts a big emphasis on how "eerie" it all feels, with an "unnaturally quiet" vibe in contrast to other Minecraft biomes.
