Minecraft news » PE/Win10: The Friendly Update!



The Friendly Update is here!


Okay, I lied: the Friendly Update - 0.15 for Pocket/Windows 10 Edition - is not, in fact, out yet. However, it is coming soon, and has a host of goodies to look forward to!


As the video above shows, some of the new things are obvious (pistons, especially). However, there is a special emphasis on the "friendly" part of the update's name...what could that mean? We may never know!


Right, I lied again. Here's a list of the upcoming changes!


New Features

  • Mysterious, as-yet-unspecified friendliness
  • Pistons and sticky pistons!
  • Observer blocks: new blocks that can detect changes in neighboring blocks
  • Xbox Live Achievements on iOS and Android
  • Online multiplayer with Xbox Live friends!
  • Leads, horses and dyeable horse armor!
  • Fire charges
  • Pig riding!
  • A whole new UI for the main menu, shared with the Windows 10 Edition
  • You can now tip arrows using a cauldron and potions!
  • Husk zombies in the desert
  • Stray skeletons in tundras
  • Different villages in taigas and savannahs
  • Skeleton horse traps!

Tweaks

  • Online play uses less bandwidth now
  • Note blocks are a lot louder now
  • Walking far from spawn generates a lot less jittering now
  • Added more mob eggs to the creative menu

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a lot of crashes!
  • Fixed a couple of bugs causing data to be lost or world corruption
  • A whole bunch of redstone fixes from the community feedback
  • Lots of multiplayer desynchronization fixes

The 0.15 Friendly Update will go live on <REDACTED>, so get ready!
