Minecraft Pocket and Windows 10 Edition players are in for a treat with the latest update to the game. Now you can trade with villagers, modify music and sounds with add-ons, and much more. There are a number of smaller tweaks as well, including bigger heads for baby villagers.
Here's a full look at what's new and tweaked in the 1.04 update for Minecraft Pocket and Windows 10:
- Added Villager Trading!
- Added Strangers Skin Pack
- Music, sounds, and user interface can now be modified using Add-Ons
- Added the Storage screen in Settings to manage worlds, resource packs, and behavior packs
- New Add-On format: All of your old Add-Ons will automatically update to the new format. You may see warnings on those Add-Ons but they will be fully functional
- The models for the Shulker and Ender Dragon can now be edited using Add-Ons
- Husks are now a little bit taller than Zombies
- Baby Villagers now have adorable, larger-sized heads
- Addition of CDN for downloading optional content, reducing game file sizes
- Added low render distance options for older devices
One other standout from those changes is the new Strangers Skin Pack. Available now for $1.99, the pack adds some truly whacky skins based on what happens to minecrafters when they venture to the edges of the world. Think along the lines of sideways faces and hideous fish-men. There are, of course, a ton of general bug fixes and performance improvements in this update as well.
