»???« is the message Minecraft just sent to its community. The official X account (formerly Twitter) has published a mysterious image that probably announces an imminent reveal. But what can you see on it? There are different fan theories about this.
The post that poses a mystery
This is what the picture looks like, with the black form of lettering behind the three question marks:

Almost everyone on X, Reddit and Co. agrees about the upper part: It says Minecraft (you can see the side of the M and the T, the whole thing is viewed from a perspective from below). So far, so unsurprising, of course the reveal has something to do with the sandbox.
The second, lower part of the lettering is exciting. There you are guaranteed to know what innovation or update it is. We've collected some of the fan speculation:
Is Minecraft Update 1.21 coming? The next big update has already been announced, but does not yet have a fixed release date. Reddit user CountScarlioni His guess garners over 2,000 upvotes, so it seems to be a pretty popular theory. Maybe we'll find out soon when 1.21 will be released?
Trials and tinkering? Copper and combat? Reddit user Jame_spect speculates on a new update title, as does X-User Tha Carter 712. The size and shape of the bottom line would match previous update logos, but words cannot yet be identified. Maybe it will be the April Fools' Day potatoes too?

Caves and Cliffs 3? Minecraft's cave systems have already planned two updates, but for many fans there is still room for improvement. Caves and Cliffs Part 3 would be another theoretical possibility that some in the Comments dare to hope.
Pranksters: Of course, comments are also gathering loudly trumpeting hope for an official erotic update on the Internet. The whole thing is fueled by a picture montage from the official Opera GX account:

We probably don't have to tell you explicitly what the chances are, do we?
Now it's your turn: What do you recognize in the Minecraft puzzle picture? Do you have secret superpowers and can predict what will be on the second line based on the length in pixels? Do you perhaps have your own theory, no matter how crazy? Feel free to write it in the comments under the article, we are excited!
