As many fans are aware, Minecraft Caves & Cliffs update was recently released. This highly anticipated update contained a myriad of new features, including new mobs, blocks, items, and achievements.

Players who have not played Minecraft for a while, but have the game downloaded, can simply update the game to get the latest version (1.16) through the Minecraft Java Edition Launcher.
