Minecraft’s big Caves & Cliffs Update has been split in two, with the latter part now not due until “around the holiday season”, developer Mojang said today.
While some of the update will still arrive this summer – more on that below – this constitutes a delay for many of its more ambitious parts.
Explaining the cause in a detailed blog post and FAQ, Mojang said that “significant technical challenges” had stemmed from the far-ranging nature of this update, which touches on fundamental parts of Minecraft’s world-generation system.
