You will be in love with stroopwafels and artificial islands, clogs, stroopwafels, tulips, and orange! After a long time for the update, the Netherlands Update is finally coming to Minecraft! We are so happy...

*Riiiing*

Hold on, I just have to take this call.

Yes, it is Mojang editorial. What do you mean "not the Netherlands, you imbecile"? I've put on my clogs and... I can see. My apologies.

Prepare to sink into the lava. A lot of lava! The Nether Update, Minecraft's next big adventure, is launching June 23 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, Windows 10 and more. The Java version of the update will be available, along with Windows, Mac OS and Linux.

If you're like me – that is to say, completely terrified excited for the Nether and can't wait to find out more about Minecraft's lava-fueled sauna - then you must head over to the official Nether Update website. It's a great site with many details about the new items, blocks biomes, threats, and biomes that await you on the other side of the portal. Perhaps you'd rather plunge into it with reckless exuberance? That's fine too, but don't say we weren't warning you.

But that's not all. https://icdama.com/ If you're interested in the sounds of the Nether we've added a 20-minute music track, composed by the talented Lena Raine Lena Raine, to Spotify - just so you can get yourself in the mood before you begin your journey. We're still exploring the remaining senses, such as smell.

The Nether is waiting for you. Are you up for the challenge?
