The biggest game in the world keeps getting bigger. Mojang continues to add more thrilling content to Minecraft, so veterans have something new to play with, and fans have a reason to return.
Those who defeat the legendary final boss, the Ender Dragon, can now head to End Cities, spooky lost ruins filled with End Ships, Chorus Plants, Chorus Flowers and Purpur Blocks.
Battling the Ender Dragon has changed too, thanks to a huge combat update that added dual wielding. Amplified terrain also adds giant mountains and hills, and new multiplayer modes and levels make playing with friends even more fun! Who knows where Minecraft will take us next?
Tips & Tricks
A Sandy Hint
Instead of wasting your shovel on sand or gravel, dig out the bottom block and instantly place a torch where it was to quickly destroy the sand blocks above as they fall.
Peaceful Mode
If you cannot find any food to eat, or you are struggling with enemies, set the game to Peaceful Mode. Your health will regenerate, and enemies disappear.
Creating a Spawn Point
If you have three wool and three wooden planks, you can build a bed. Sleep in it and it will become your new spawn point – until an enemy breaks it!
Emergency Shelter
To create a shelter in an emergency, find a small hill and dig a few blocks into it. Block up the entrance and place a torch to survive the night.
Enemy Sensor
Surround your house with wooden planks so you can hear mobs walking on them, letting you know that you are not alone.
