New Minecraft Bedrock Update

Slabs! Stairs! Signs! Swalls! I mean, walls! Ahem, sorry – I always get overly excited like this when there’s a new update for Minecraft on Xbox One, Windows 10 Edition, iOS, Gear VR, Android and Nintendo Switch out today!

This update is full of building materials announced as part of our upcoming Village and Pillage update. The new villagers aren’t quite ready yet (they’re all busy studying for their new professions) making this update more of a builders dream, as it’s practically overflowing with new stairs, walls, slabs and more!

Gardeners, we haven’t forgotten you. This update brings two new flowers to Minecraft, The Lily of the Valley and Cornflower! Cornflower fans, this means you can finally stop sending our offices millions of letters a month, demanding we put cornflower in the game. Your cornflower wish has been granted!

Other new features include new gamerules and buttons that will take you directly to the feedback site, bug tracker site, or support site. Another hot new feature – lava – can now be placed in cauldrons! Just make sure you place it carefully, yeah? We’d hate to see your new-and-improved garden go up in flames…
