Minecraft 1.21 Update: Release Date, News, Leaks

Minecraft players are currently enjoying the 1.20 update; however, with that, the wait for the Minecraft 1.21 update has also begun. While Mojang hasn't announced anything related to the next patch as of now, they have revealed the date for Minecraft Live 2023, which can give us some details about the 1.21 version. 

If you are excited about the Minecraft 1.21 update, here is everything we know about it, including its potential release date, name, speculations, and more.

Minecraft 1.21 Update Release Date and Name

The release date and name of the Minecraft 1.21 update are not officially confirmed yet, but we can make some educated guesses based on the previous updates and events. The last major update for Minecraft, 1.20 Trails and Tales, was announced in October 2022, during the Minecraft Live event and went live globally in June 2023.

Based on this pattern, we can expect that the Minecraft 1.21 update will be announced on October 15, 2023, during the next Minecraft Live event. The update will likely be released in June 2024 globally.

The name of the Minecraft 1.21 update is also unknown at this point, but we can speculate based on the possible themes and features of the update. Some of the suggested names by the community are the End Update, the Desert Update, the Inventory Update, or the Biomes Update.

Of course, these are just some of the possible names for the Minecraft 1.21 update, and the actual name could be something completely different or unexpected.
