Yesterday we saw a mysterious update rolled out on Minecraft for Xbox you users logged on and were prompted to download a new version of the game with the appropriate size of 1.69 gigabytes this update was different as once players started updating an entirely new Minecraft would show up in their game Section and they would have two Minecrafts on their device for a short time however once they clicked on one of these Minecrafts the new version of the game would start installing and the two Minecrafts would become one so what was added with this new version is it a good Update for the game overall well let me explain everything The main thing Microsoft stated was performance enhancement but this update also affected other things mainly how installing custom add-ons Works in Minecraft for those of you who don’t know it is 100 possible to import custom add-ons into Minecraft Xbox for free and some of you who knew about these methods May realize they no longer work anymore well that’s what I originally thought but it turns out the methods do still work you just need to do a couple extra steps I’ll explain everything shortly but I want to begin by reading the official update details released by Microsoft Xbox Minecraft performance Update details as of October 5th players on the Xbox versions of Minecraft will begin receiving an update that improves game performance alongside a few other changes note it may take a few weeks for you to receive the update so if you don’t have it on October 5th please wait A few weeks before contacting Minecraft support the next section of the article answers the question what changes will I notice when updating to this new version this update will take a little longer than previous ones as we’re transferring your world files to the new game version when updated you will see two versions Of Minecraft in your all games view on your Xbox installing either version of the game will work and once the update is done you should experience slightly better performance so those are the update details Microsoft shared with us but one thing not mentioned in there probably because They don’t exactly approve of it is how this update changes the way we can import custom add-ons and this is where things get rather interesting so you may need to have a little bit of background knowledge on how importing add-ons works exactly to understand what I’m about to Say but with this update any custom resource pack put into the resource packs folder in the com.mojang folder will automatically become available under your Global resource pack settings this is huge as before this update we had to go into each custom texture pack and edit the Manifest file to make it Work globally well now the game makes them Global for us furthermore in regards to custom skin packs you no longer need to sign in and out every time you load up Minecraft to get your custom skins to load as they will already load up for you the first time You launch the game that is also super helpful as some people were having issues with this step when trying to get custom skins into the game now if none of this makes sense to you I’ll have two links in the description below with videos on how to get add-ons for Minecraft Xbox the first playlist is called the advanced file explorer method and that method is a little simpler to follow and only requires your Xbox but it is a little bit more time consuming and the second playlist will be the FTP method which is faster but slightly more Complex and it’s a process where you use a second device to put the add-ons on your Xbox I personally like the FTP map so if you’re looking for ways to get add-ons onto your Xbox for free today feel free to check those out just so you Understand what I mean when I talk about com.mojang folder and stuff like that now because of this latest update to Minecraft Xbox there is one extra step we need to do when we are getting our add-ons so you want to follow any of my Minecraft add-on tutorials all the way Up until where you put your add-on into the appropriate folder in the com.mojing folder once you have added your custom mods skins worlds whatever it may be into their proper folders here are the steps you need to take in order to get them to load with this new version of Minecraft you first need to go ahead and uninstall the Minecraft on your Xbox this sounds a bit weird here but trust me I’m going to be making a separate video very soon today explaining how to do this again just because I think it’s a very important piece of information That deserves its own video but anyways you’ve put your add-ons into their proper folders and now you have uninstalled Minecraft once that is complete you want to open up the Microsoft off Store and search for Minecraft then you want to go ahead and reinstall the public version of Minecraft make sure you are downloading it from the Microsoft store and not from your games it has to be from the Microsoft store so go ahead and do that and you want to go ahead and press install on it it’ll say you already own the game and you want to go ahead and Get that going once it installs you will see it on your home screen you want to go ahead and press on the game it’ll then say you have to install the update again and you want to go ahead and then press begin the update and it will begin Installing the update yet again and once the update is done installing you can load up Minecraft and all of your add-ons will be there that you added this was a very quick explanation and I’ll be making another video very soon that goes further in depth but nevertheless that’s how it’s done and if You have any issues at all with this join my Discord down below and I can easily help you out so what are your
