Minecraft 26.3 - Wilderness Bound

Wilderness Bound is out now in Minecraft Java Edition! Pack your supplies and set off on an expedition into the dappled forest where the trails end and adventure begins. Seek out abandoned camps, build outposts among the poplar trees, sleep under the stars on straw beds, and share campfire stories atop cushions. Just remember that the wilderness rewards the prepared - and maps are lighter than regrets!

Happy camping!
