For "Minecraft" console players, this is the season to be jolly indeed. The latest "Minecraft" 1.10 update for the console version is set to inch the game a little closer to its PC based counterpart with the introduction of a host of new features such as blocks, mobs and even wings.

In an announcement made on the game's official site, the console version just got a massive upgrade last December 21, 2016. Thanks to console's "Minecraft" 1.10 update, gamers now have access to new mobs, blocks as well as new effects.

The update introduces new End Ships as well as End Cities, where players might find at the newly revamped The End, a mysterious place in the Minecraft world. The patch notes likewise teased of a game-changer known as Elytra which, according to Game Spot, is actually a chestplate item with a slot that allows one's character to equip wings.

As teased by the "Minecraft" 1.10 patch notes, the Elytra is indeed a game changer that console gamers could use. With a wing equipped, it is now possible for players have the capability of flight or technically, gliding.

With wings, players only need to look for high ledges as a launch point. From there, they can glide gracefully, with controls achieved by looking up (to increase altitude) or down (to decrease altitude). However, stalling may happen if one looks up too long.

Gamers who want to give gliding a try need to visit The End. Apparently, the Elytra may not be crafted and may only be found in that mysterious place.

In addition, the "Minecraft" update introduces more mobs to the console version. Skeleton Trap Horses, Stray Skeleton, Shulker and Husk Zombie are now in the game's console version. New blocks were likewise introduced including Chorus Plant and Flower, End Gateway, End Rod, Dragon Head as well as Purpur Block.

More "Minecraft" updates for the console version are likely to come in the near future as Mojang prepares to lessen the gap between the console and PC versions. To get the latest updates, be sure to follow MobilenApps.
