On October 3rd, 2020, Mojang Studios had a live streaming event to announce their new items, mobs, gameplay, etc. It was actually rather impressive. Over the next few days, weeks and months I am sure we will get more details, updated wiki pages, new Youtube content, but this is what we know for now.
FOUND OUT SOMETHING NEW? POST IT TO THIS THREAD!![Smiley Face :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.2017/01.png)

The community was able to have two voting rounds to show their love for a new mob, moobloom, squid and the chillager (as I like to call it). In both rounds, the glowing squid won.

On the 1MB Discord our friend and community helper the456gamer was awesome enough to create a hangout for us all to live chat in, he was streaming the https://www.twitch.tv/minecraft live event so we could discuss it as a community. Thumbsup!
The next Minecraft update is: The Caves and Cliffs update!!
https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Caves_&_Cliffs
Below is a list of things that are included in the caves and cliffs update, and it's a lot.
New Biome! Lush Caves!
Underground biomes aren’t all terrifying lava lakes and skeleton-infested mines; instead – if you follow the roots – you’ll find the lush caves are a stunning oasis of calm and tranquillity.

New Biome! Dripstone Caves!
Formed over thousands of years deep underground – but brought to you in one update – the stalagmites and stalactites of the dripstone cave biome are as beautiful as they are spikey
![Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.36.49.png Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.36.49.png](https://omgboards.com/data/attachments/4/4952-54ac3d4ac3f1c01541a511565166593b.jpg)
New Blocks! Sculk Growth
The sculk sensor block is activated by movement and vibrations – emitting a redstone signal when charged. Found underground, its uses can include automatic lights, wireless firework detonators and attracting unwanted attention.
![Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.37.32.png Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.37.32.png](https://omgboards.com/data/attachments/4/4953-9e247b026a35acf18ddbeeb863308ab2.jpg)
New Mob! The Warden
Down in the deep dark, every moving limb, every opened chest or every thrown snowball can be sensed by this terrifying new mob: the Warden! You can try running away… Oh, but they’ll sense that movement too!
https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Caves_&_Cliffs
![caves-cliff-02.png caves-cliff-02.png](https://omgboards.com/data/attachments/4/4954-2fb8a1881bb6814156b176176ed9b412.jpg)
New Mob! Goats!
As promised, we’ve added goats – the hugely-anticipated mob from last year’s biome vote. Jumping goats! Ramming goats! Baby goats! So many goats!
https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Caves_&_Cliffs
![Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.39.31.png Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.39.31.png](https://omgboards.com/data/attachments/4/4955-7322bcbec9dd9b6d285fd94f0e54c862.jpg)
New Mountain Generation
Higher peaks, tree lines, snowier snow and more.
https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Mountains
![Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.40.27.png Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.40.27.png](https://omgboards.com/data/attachments/4/4956-b1969bdbdd75da57e8acfc8372bb3879.jpg)
Amethyst Geodes
Release your inner geologist and harvest crystal shards. These crystals aren’t only pretty, they’re also the key to a new crafting recipe, but first and foremost they’re pretty – so very pretty!
https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Java_Edition_1.17
![Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.41.35.png Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.41.35.png](https://omgboards.com/data/attachments/4/4957-cc9ed11f5b3f5c569d0cd016972d3579.jpg)
New Item! Telescopes!
Just like with Optifine, but now through crafting, you can get a new item to zoom, and look into the distance to see just a little bit more.
![Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.42.35.png Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.42.35.png](https://omgboards.com/data/attachments/4/4958-d5de26c7e48cf45e00aa15685b02faaa.jpg)
New Ore! Copper!
Get lost gold, shove off silver – there's a new precious (well, semi-precious but still sooo shiny!) metal in the Overworld! It's the time for the age of copper!
https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Caves_&_Cliffs#Blocks
![Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.43.12.png Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.43.12.png](https://omgboards.com/data/attachments/4/4959-22f4b8e1242ead92f9c134a72feb578f.jpg)
New Block! Lightning Rods!
Excellent to protect your builds. You can now make sure your house doesn't go up in fire during a thunderstorm.
https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Thunderstorm#Lightning
![Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.44.13.png Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.44.13.png](https://omgboards.com/data/attachments/4/4960-5673e3af9f71b3e50ba5a7546a6f7692.jpg)
New Item! Bundles!
What’s this Steve? Bundles? What a nifty way to – well – bundle things together and carry several different items in one inventory slot. Of course, stack limits still apply! You can also leave your friends a bundle as a gift!
![Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.45.01.png Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.45.01.png](https://omgboards.com/data/attachments/4/4961-46cf7c8a3d3319bf0fa3568a3ae475d4.jpg)
New System! Archeology System!
One of the coolest additions if you ask me. With a brush in hand and on a quest for lost knowledge: we bring you archaeology! What will you unearth from the past? Secrets, revelations, or maybe just a great pumpkin pie recipe?
![Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.45.54.png Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.45.54.png](https://omgboards.com/data/attachments/4/4962-f3ee46474af6c371ae0e2505c3fe4b8f.jpg)
New Mob! Axolotls!
The axolotl might easily be one of the cutest mobs we've ever added to Minecraft – don't even start us gushing about how adorable they look in a bucket! But looks can be deceiving, and this cutey is also a tough little predator.
https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Caves_&_Cliffs
![Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.46.32.png Screenshot 2020-10-03 at 20.46.32.png](https://omgboards.com/data/attachments/4/4963-3145db7bb010054985e6b00bedb25efa.jpg)
Woah, so much, I can't wait to test some snapshots as they come out between now and the Summer of 2021, and eventually upgrade our 1moreblock.com server![Smiley Face :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.2017/01.png)
Questions? Post them![Smiley Face :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.2017/01.png)
The event is over, we had fun on the voice chat, and Mojang published a re-cap here: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-live-the-recap
