Trivia[]
- While this update introduces mud as a block, mud has existed in the franchise as a fluid in Minecraft Earth. The properties of mud in this update are identical to a block.
- Fireflies were initially planned for this update, but were ultimately scrapped as some species of fireflies are poisonous to some species of frogs in real life.[3] This decision was heavily criticized by the community.
- To promote the wild update, Mojang released a free choose your own adventure game on Minecraft.net called Craft Your Own Adventure: Wild Tales.[4]
- Kingbdogz stated in a tweet that the souls in the warden's chest is incredibly important to its lore.[5]
- The official artwork for the update is notable for marking the first appearance of Sunny and Noor, before their official introduction into the game.
