The Professor
I’m the Professor. Update 4 has officially launched, and on the same day Update 5 Part 1 started on the pre-release branch. …That said, there’s hardly anything in it this week.
📌 Key points
- Goldenwood is easier to find throughout Zone 4
- Lots of blocks renamed and reorganized
- Bug fixes
Goldenwood Is Easier to Find
Goldenwood, which I complained in the Update 4 video was “so rare you can never find it,” now shows up more often throughout Zone 4. Apparently it even appears inside Zone 4 villages now.
Following last time’s addition of the 
Sallow Sapling (a sapling that grows into Goldenwood), it’s now also easier to find out in the wild. Great news for anyone hunting for Goldenwood.
Other Changes
- Lots of block names changed and reorganized
- Various bug fixes
The final part of Update 4 was so massive that this week is more of a breather update. Some weeks are like that! For everything in Update 4, see my Update 4 final part recap.
This blog keeps up with the quiet weeks too! Now you can choose how to get Goldenwood: grow it from saplings or hunt for it in Zone 4.
