Earn free stuff and express yourself with Emotes coming to Minecraft

Minecraft’s next big adventure, the Nether Update is here now and as part of that update players can now do a variety of new things in-game.

The Nether update is dropped last week on June 23rd, with a number of new mobs, blocks and biomes. One of the most fascinating new blocks is Netherite. When mined Netherite can be fashioned into tools, weapons and armor. Another part of that update is the ability to express yourself with Emotes, like in Sea of Thieves and Fortnite.

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.
