There\u2019s a new tutorial world to show you how to use all of the content as well.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft broke down a few of the new things in a bulleted list on the\u00a0<em>Xbox Wire<\/em>. It actually looks pretty awesome from here. Here\u2019s their rundown:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Tame and ride horses!<\/li>\n<li>Use those horses to run away from the new Wither Skeletons, Witches, and Bats (among other nasty things)!<\/li>\n<li>Equip your horse with horse armor!<\/li>\n<li>Name your horse something really cool\u2026 and while you\u2019re at it, use the new name tag item to give a less-cool name to your new donkey!<\/li>\n<li>Build a whole ton of fireworks, and program them to go off when the sun goes down!<\/li>\n<li>Set off those fireworks to celebrate the successful crossbreeding of your new horse and donkey, and the birth of your new mule!<\/li>\n<li>Name that mule!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The really interesting bit about this whole thing comes from the timed exclusivity for the update between consoles. The Xbox One and Xbox 360 have version 1.6.4 of <em>Minecraft<\/em>already; but, what about the PlayStation platforms? The update is \u201ccoming soon to PlayStation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It looks like Microsoft is going to make its own platforms the lead devices for <em>Minecraft<\/em>, though that\u2019s not surprising at all given their purchase of Mojang.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sourcevia-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sourcevia fCaps fLS0\"><span class=\"label fLS1\">SOURCE<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/news.xbox.com\/2014\/12\/games-minecraft-content-update-december\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">XBOX WIRE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minecraft on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One has just been updated to version 1.6.4, a free addition that\u2019s available now once your console goes online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gaming","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
