In late December there's an update heading to the console versions of Minecraft, and among other things it'll include the new Elytra, a glider that'll let players glide around their worlds.
Players can also expect the Holiday Update to include "new mobs, items, blocks and status effects, in addition to UI, game and tutorial updates." Check out a more detailed list of new features below, with more intel set to drop before the update lands in the latter half of next month.
· If you're sick of spending all your time walking on solid ground, just equip the new Elytra, which enables players to glide through the air!
· You'll find your Elytra in The End, which has been updated to include End Cities, End Ships and all the Chorus Plants, Flowers and Purpur you can handle.
· Like potions? Use Dragon's Breath to create Lingering Potions if you want to leave some status effects on the ground for a friend or foe to happen upon. Speaking of status effects, we're adding a couple new ones as well - Levitation and Luck.
· If you're just getting started on a new world on Xbox One, you can turn on Amplified Terrain. This option makes the differences between mountains and valleys more extreme - so put that Elytra to good use!
