The Nether Update is an upcoming major update themed around revamping the Nether. It will add multiple new interesting and delightful features to this dimension, such as new biomes and mobs. The update was announced at MINECON Live 2019.[1] The update is to be released on Java Edition and Bedrock Edition as version 1.16 and Bedrock Edition 1.16.0.[2][3] So far, there is no set date for the update to be released. Despite this, we have gotten multiple content snippets every Wednesday through varying snapshots. Such as the most recent 20w15a, which added multiple brand new blocks and a new biome to the Nether.
