'Minecraft' Update News: Windows 10 Heading to Story Mode & Mobile Game Versions
A major update for "Minecraft: Pocket Edition" and "Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition" is coming, and with it are jam-packed new updates, including redstones, new doors, and many other features.
Redstones are said to be very important in the game, because as Neuro Gadget pointed out, they come with a mysterious power that works like electricity in real life. The redstones will help the gamer create intricate devices like automated doors, powered roller coasters, and even TNTs, among other things.
The redstone updates include the following: Redstone wire, levers, lamps, buttons, tripwires, torches, trapped chests, detector rails and pressure plates.
Windows 10 supports virtual reality devices like the Oculus Rift and HoloLens, as well, so imagine that while playing Minecraft - it would be cool, wouldn't it?
And then there are "evil" bunnies that are said to come with smarter AI, which enables them to eat crops when they get hungry. That is to say, the more bunnies there are in your game, the more crops will go missing. The bunnies are part of the Biome Settler Pack and comes at $1.99, with new settlers and skins that can also be used to update the looks of players' characters.
Other new updates include the removal of Herobrine, which is a hostile mob that is already well known in the Minecraft universe. The stonecutter is also a new addition, which serves as an interactive block that is used to craft stone.
On the bright side, there will be tweaks that will allow for better boat handling. The block lag is also reduced, making for a more responsive game.
For those who are wondering about the latest episode of "Minecraft" story mode, you're not left behind. The Star noted that the game is still expected to be better than the previous episode and will still be published by Telltale Games.
IGN reported that the new episode will be titled "The Last Place You Look" and will contain a couple of puzzles that will appear all throughout the episode. Among the challenges of the new episode are underwater escapes, multiple encounters with the Endermen, and even encounters with the game's big baddie.
IGN also noted that Episode 3's storytelling is significantly better than that of the previous one, thanks in part to the introduction of Soren, an eccentric, hermit-like character with an obsession for the Endermen and an inability to talk to people normally.
What do you think about these updates for "Minecraft," and which new feature are you most excited for?
