Switch getting new “Nether” update for Minecraft next week
A major “Nether” update will land in the Switch version of Minecraft next week, Mojang has announced. It will go live worldwide on June 23.
The upcoming update features new blocks, items, biomes, and threats. We have some additional details below.
Get to Know the Dark Side of Minecraft
Beyond the Overworld awaits an ancient realm, unexplored by most players—until now. The Nether Update brings the heat to an already fiery dimension with new biomes, mobs, and blocks.
Discover Netherite, a Material Stronger than Diamond
Pure netherite – the strongest, most durable material in Minecraft – is no more. Piglins mined it all out. Now the only way to obtain it is by salvaging netherite scrap from ancient debris.
Prepare to Battle or Barter with the Piglins
Piglins can be grumpy, though are willing to trade items if you bring the right goods. Stay on their good side if you can!
Avoid Hoglins, or Hunt Them!
The snoutiest, tastiest mob in Minecraft! Keep away from the Hoglins, or hunt them if you dare. Approach them with caution.
