Minecraft has been around for quite a few years now and it's become nothing short of a global phenomenon, as tens of millions of users enjoy the experience across PC, consoles, and many other mobile devices.

Minecraft on consoles is getting a major update with new options

The game's community will take part in MineCon later this week, but until then, developer 4J Studios has just confirmed that a major update will soon be released for Minecraft on consoles.

According to the official website, Minecraft on the Xbox 360 will receive Title Update 25, while Xbox One users will be able to download Content Update 14. PS4, PS3, and PS Vita owners will soon be allowed to download patch 1.17 for their versions of the game.

While it has different names and versions, it's actually just the same patch and will launch tomorrow, July 1, all around the world.

A suite of long-awaited features are included, such as the ability to create super flat worlds, as well as new blocks, wood types, fences, and much more.

Fresh game options allow users to change the mode, difficulty, time, player spawn position, ambient cave sounds, weather, and more, without leaving the session. Classic crafting is also included, alongside new objects like iron trapdoors and many others.

What's more, besides this major update, Minecraft on consoles is also going to receive tomorrow, July 1, two new DLC packs. The first is the Minecon 2015 Skin pack that's going to be available for free until July 15.

The second is exclusive to PS4, PS3, and PS Vita users, as it's the LittleBigPlanet Mash-up pack that will be available for a price.
