Update Aquatic Phase One is out now!

Xbox One! Windows 10! Mobile! Gear VR, Oculus Rift & Mixed Reality Devices! Why am I yelling about these different Minecraft platforms? I can't remember!

Oh, wait, yes I can - It's because, as of today, Minecraft players on all of these platforms are getting Phase One of the Update Aquatic!

What's 'Phase One'? Think of this as a two-part release, with Phase One containing the first wave of Update Aquatic features. Phase Two, with the remaining features, will be coming soon. Playing Java Edition? You'll be getting the Update Aquatic very soon too.

We've listed all the Update Aquatic features included in Phase One below these snazzy screenshots – and so long as you're playing the new edition of Minecraft, you can access them all today!
