Wild Update Concept
The Wild Update Concept is a fan-made add-on that brings a slice of the newly announced Minecraft Wild Update into your game ahead of schedule. Instead of waiting for the official release, you can start experimenting with frogs, mud, mangrove wood, and even the mysterious Allay right now. This mod is packed with features that give builders, explorers, and redstone tinkerers plenty to dig into.
What the Wild Update Concept Adds
The centerpiece of this mod is the frog, a new mob that spawns in three distinct variants. Each variant appears in different biomes and drops a unique light source when it eats a magma cube.
- Temperate Frogs — found in swamps, mutated swamplands, and mangrove swamps. They have an orange texture and drop Ochre Froglights.
- Warm Frogs — found in deserts, badlands, and wooded badlands. They have a white texture and drop Pearlescent Froglights.
- Cold Frogs — found in snowy mountains, cold taiga, and snowy tundra. They have a green texture and drop Verdant Froglights.
Froglights come in three colors: Ochre, Pearlescent, and Verdant. These glowing blocks are perfect for decorative lighting in builds, and each one matches the frog variant that produces it.
Mud and Mud Bricks
Mud is a new surface block that you can right-click with a bottle to turn into dirt. More importantly, you can smelt mud in a furnace to create mud bricks. From there, you can craft mud brick walls, slabs, and stairs, giving you a fresh palette for rustic builds.
Mangrove Wood and Trees
Mangrove wood is a deep red wood type that expands your building options with stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, pressure plates, and buttons. The mod also adds five new mangrove wood blocks: mangrove wood, stripped mangrove logs, stripped mangrove wood, mangrove doors, and mangrove trapdoors. You can strip mangrove logs and wood by right-clicking with the new stripping axe, a tool designed specifically for this purpose.
Mangrove trees generate with a unique root block and propagules growing on their leaves. Propagules are the saplings for mangrove trees. Once they bloom, you can pick them off the leaves and plant them to grow your own mangrove tree at home. Be careful not to plant them too close to your builds, as there is a known bug that needs fixing.
The mangrove swamp biome is home to frogs and features large trees generating in water, leaving space under their roots for you to boat through. At the moment, the trees may cut each other out during generation, which can look a bit strange, but the biome still offers a fresh environment to explore.
The Allay
The Allay is a new flying mob that spawns in flower forests and sunflower plains. It does not have a purpose yet, but the developer plans to implement its Minecraft Live behavior once programming is finished. For now, it is a charming addition that adds life to these biomes.
If you want to try the Wild Update Concept without wrestling with manual file placement, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install option that handles the setup for you. The launcher also keeps your add-ons updated automatically, so you never miss a bug fix or new feature in the Wild Update Concept.
