Minecraft fans using the Windows 10 Edition Beta and Minecraft Pocket Edition might be delighted to know that a new update, dubbed the Overworld Update, is pegged to arrive later this February. This brings with it a slew of nifty additions.
Microsoft has pushed out a blogpost saying that the update will incorporate a number of new components to help gamers create more mechanical devices, dye armors, steal potions from witches and more.
The company says it is excited to let gamers know that it will be adding more of the gameplay components they have long been awaiting to these editions with the Overworld Update "coming by the end of the month."
