Minecraft’s console versions get a massive update

4.1
A new update is rolling out now for the Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Wii U editions of Minecraft.

According to a blog post, the update adds new achievements/trophies, a new UI engine, llamas, parrots, treasure maps, and the option to change Biomes size to match other platforms.

This update will be followed soon by the Better Together Update. This major update will merge the Xbox, Switch, and Wii U editions of Minecraft under the “Minecraft” title and allows cross-network play between all platforms. The PlayStation versions of Minecraft will not receive this update due to Sony opting out, but the developer promised that these versions will continue to be updated after the Better Together Update lands.

7 new Achievements/Trophies
New UI engine (saving significant memory – which should boost performance!)
Llamas
Parrots
Woodland Mansion
Treasure Maps
Observer Block
Totem of Undying
Illagers! Vindicator, Vex and Evoker!
‘Bouncy’ Beds
Dyeable beds
Option to change Biomes size to match other platforms (since they are smaller on console by default)
