The 22w14a Snapshot brings mangrove swamps and an interesting item to Minecraft

What’s new in the newest snapshot of The Wild Update?

Snapshots related to the wilderness update, which was announced during the recent Minecraft Live event, have been coming to Minecraft for some time. The main element of the update will be swamps, which will receive much more interesting biome variants, as well as new wood and a new mob – the frog. Fans could meet it some time ago. What is the list of news introduced in the latest test version?

Players can find here, among other things, new interesting mechanics, such as a way to obtain clay without having to search far away or a compass that shows the place where the player died last time.
