Here is the news for September, and because of MineCon, we have a lot to cover! If you watched MineCon, be sure to tell me in the comments. I am again posting this because I will be busy tomorrow.
MineCon streamed today at !2:00 PM (Eastern Time)! What was announced is posted below.
The voting for this MineCon was to update 1 of 3 biomes: the Swamp, the Mountains, and the Badlands. The Badlands was out after the first voting round, and the Mountains Biome won on the second round! Because of this, we will be seeing more uniquely-generated mountains, snow that you can sink in, and Goats in future updates.
The other two biomes would have added a different kind of cactus, vultures and tumbleweeds to the Badlands Biome, and Mangrove trees, frogs and boats with chests in them for the Swamp Biome.
The main theme for 1.16 was announced, and it will be a Nether update! It will add new mobs and biomes to the Nether, and more will most likely be announced.
Minecraft earth will become available to play in October of this year.
Target and Honey blocks were announced that they will be coming for 1.15. They will have very unique functions. more info can be found in the link at the bottom of this discussion.
A new feature will be added to Minecraft for the bedrock edition known as the character creator. It will allow you to customize skins by changing skin tone, hair, arms, legs, and many more. You will also be able to import these custom skins to Minecraft Earth. On top of that, capes are coming to Bedrock.
A new version of Realms known as Realms Plus will be added soon. For the same subscription price of normal Realms, you will be able to get more than 50 random (from what I can understand) marketplace content with no extra cost! Each month you have the subscription, more marketplace content will be added for your realm.
A new Minecraft themed board game will come out later. It is known as "Builders and Biomes".
That is about it for MineCon, now onto the other news.
