Minecraft Caves and Cliffs update is coming in summer 2021 and it has goats

Minecraft Caves and Cliffs is an update in the works for the game, and it will feature all sorts of new items along with goats.

Yes, goats are coming to Minecraft with the Caves and Cliffs update, and they are super cute.

Announced during Minecraft Live today, the update is being made to the cave and mountain system with improved cave generation and features things like "lush caves and dripstone caves."

There will also be a brand new archeology system adding a sense of a history element to the game, and you can expect to see new crystals in the caves. You will also find telescopes, bundles, the sculk sensor block, and a new hostile mob called the Warden. This mob is well adapted to dark caves and reacts to movement instead sight.

The Mountain Update folks voted for last year will be included, which comes with the aforementioned mountain goats. The update also brings copper which will add an aging element to the game which means that over time your copper buildings will start to turn green.

It also includes another mob called the Axolotl which comes in a bucket. The cave-dwelling water creature can aid in you in battle.
