Stan Hogeweg — Tue, 30 May 2023 23:58:31 GMT

Minecraft's Trails and Tales update is just around the corner. It's a little uncommon in that it's an update largely driven by player creativity, since it adds a lot of blocks that vastly improve players' ability to decorate and be creative, but it's light on major new mechanics, aside from some mobs.
