Minecraft voor PS4, PS3 en PS Vita krijgt een enorme update met versie 1.22

Minecraft voor de consoles, dus de PS3, PS4, PS Vita, Xbox 360 en Xbox One versie, krijgt een enorme update. Na 3 jaar is de Minecraft versie voor consoles bijna op het niveau van de PC-versie en de nieuwste update speelt hier een grote rol in.

Mojang en 4J Studios lanceren de update nog deze week, want de update is namelijk eerder deze week al ingediend bij Sony en Microsoft voor certificatie. De update bevat een breed scala aan nieuwe features, dieren, blocks en biomes.

De update brengt ook het nieuwere ‘enchanting systeem’ naar de game, welke Lapis Lazuli vereist, dus je hebt nu eindelijk een reden om dit te verzamelen. Nieuwe biomes die in de game komen zijn onder andere de ‘mesa area’, ‘birch forest’, ‘savanna’ en ‘deep ocean’. Ook is het mogelijk met deze update om een konijn te vangen en deze te koken. Verder kan je een tuin aanleggen met bloemen en een vijver met vissen. De ‘deep ocean’ biome voegt ook de nieuwe onderwater kerkers toe met eigen vijanden en Guardian baas.

Met deze update wordt de console versie – zoals al aangegeven – bijna identiek aan de PC-versie, alleen items als graspaden ontbreken nog, maar dit is ongetwijfeld een kwestie van tijd.

De enorme changelog van de update vind je hieronder.
