Mojang teams are currently working on the next update, the Nether Update (version 1.16 of Minecraft Java). Henrik presents his current developments to us.
The Hoglin
The Hoglin is a new quadruped monster in this next update.
Henrik presents an animation of the beast’s AI, which seems particularly aggressive.
The text above his head and the colored cubes on the ground are debugging information used by the developer, they will naturally not be present in the final version.
The Piglin
The piglin is another new hostile mob of the Nether, it is of humanoid form with pig head, and according to this video of Henrik we will be able to make exchanges with him:
It will therefore be possible to give him gold. On this demonstration video he gives in exchange a diamond, which is of course only temporary. Henrik asks us for advice: what object should he return to us in exchange for a gold bar? The choice is not easy, it must satisfy the greatest number of players, without breaking the balance of the game (or the savings on multiplayer servers).We can also see on these videos the new landscapes of the new, much more colorful and diverse biomes of the new Nether. Maria promises however that the update of the world generator will be done in a gentle way, without creating a break in the landscapes (the oldest players must remember the joy of the updates in alpha and beta, each new version broke the new chunk completely!). Hope she is not mistaken!
