New Minecraft Update Released To Fix “Serious Bug”

4.7
After seven pre-release versions, Minecraft 1.8.2 was released into the wild yesterday, adding a few minor changes since pre-release 7. But that was yesterday. That was the past! 1.8.2 is dead, replaced by the usurper, 1.8.3. That was quick.

According to Mojang, a serious bug in the 1.8.2 server caused the game to crash on world load, necessitating an update to 1.8.3. Not a very glamorous update, unfortunately.

1.8.2 was mostly bug fixes, like fixing udders, but also reverted explosion physics back to the way they were before a July snapshot, and performance was also improved.

Way more important than any of that, however, was the name change feature. Since February 4th, name changes have been possible through the account page.

Mojang is already working on 1.9, which will include changes to the Ender Dragon so that it acts more like the console version.

fex I think they need to roll this out on Xbox soon haha


The console versions of Minecraft are so far behind the version on the PC. We would be waiting about a year for this to roll out on to consoles.


They aren't that far behind PC when you think about it. The latest console update, is equivalent to 1.6.2 on PC. And PC is only on 1.8.3. Meaning, consoles are only 2 major updates, behind PC. And with 4JStudios updating the consoles, consoles will be equivalent to PC, in no time.


Why doesn't the Xbox and PC get the updates at the same time?


Because the PC version is the main game that is focused on mostly, plus it doesn't cost them 30k a update but that shouldn't be a issue considering Microsoft own minecraft.


Microsoft made it free to update games long ago. It doesn't cost them a cent to do updates anymore :P

What do they mean they want the PC Ender Dragon to act more like the Console Dragon? I play both versions, are they not the exact same, or am I missing something? Someone please clarify this.

Until it updates again which will only take a week and it's suddenly behind again. And given how long it takes them to do things, it'll take a while to catch up
