Minecraft Boss Update Coming Oct. 18, Will Include Add-Ons
Minecraft's upcoming Boss Update will launch on Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta, Minecraft: Pocket Edition and Minecraft: Gear VR Edition Oct. 18.
Microsoft and Mojang announced that Minecraft‘s upcoming Boss Update will launch on Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta, Minecraft: Pocket Edition and Minecraft: Gear VR Edition Oct. 18.
In addition to allowing users to fight two bosses (the Wither and the Elder Guardian) and use slash commands, Microsoft revealed that the Boss Update will include the “first iteration of Add-Ons.” These Add-Ons will allow users to change elements within their worlds by “editing simple text files.”
In a blog post, Jesse Merriam, executive producer for Minecraft, explained:
By editing simple text files, anyone can tweak Minecraft itself to add enormous explosions to tiny chickens or make villagers run at lightning speed to chase away any new monster mob you choose to create.
