Minecraft creator 4J studios announced early this week that they are going to release patches for the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game. They also said that the console versions will receive a entirely new content as well.

The new patch is reported to fix existing bugs. It will also add a new feature called, "Copy Save" that allows players to duplicate worlds they created. Minecraft also revealed details on what will be included in the patch through their Minecraft forums.

The update will include the following:

- Fix for tile entities not being saved correctly in unloaded chunks. (Empty Chests, Spawners turning into Pig Spawners, etc.)

- Enable hiding mashup-pack worlds from the saves list, and re-enabling them all from the options menu.

- Change to 'disable saving' setting so that it remains set for a specific save when reloading that save.

- Fix for Glass Blocks placed next to each other rendering incorrectly.

- Fix for enchanted items not destroying blocks as quickly as they should.

- Changed 3D sound attenuation to have linear fall-off, with special cases for thunder, Enderdragon & Ghast sounds. (Sound volumes incorrect bug)

- Improved frame-rate in Jungles.

- Fix for missing chunks in Superflat world on host console.

- Fixed an issue with mob spawning rates.

- Fix for hit box on Torches sometimes being incorrect.

- Fix for entities being duplicated (every save/load cycle) for transferred worlds (Multiple Enderdragons bug).

- Fix for 'Can Build and Mine' not functioning correctly.

- Fixed issue with mobs still being aggressive while player is invisible (using Potion).

- Fixed an issue recording Spider Jockey kills.

- Fix for players riding Boats/Minecarts sometimes being invisible to remote players.

- Fix for Maps placed in an Item Frame appear as blank to other players.

- Fix to move HUD down when tooltips are disabled.

- Fix for camera resetting when going through Nether or End Portals.

- Fix for issue with Xbox 360 Save transfer when the save is exited without saving on Xbox One.

- Fixed an issue with gamer pictures occasionally causing a crash.

At present, without the patch, console versions of Minecraft still lag behind the PC/Mac versions. According to 4J, the new patch will minimize that gap.

They tweeted, "We're now working on an update for all Minecraft console editions to move up to the equivalent of Java 1.6.4 version. It may take some time!"

The said patch will be called, "Horse Update" since it will introduce new characters like horses and donkeys to the game. Players can tame these animals and use them for travelling.
