Minecraft Boss Update Now Available on Windows 10 and Pocket Editions

After a short delay, the boss update for Minecraft is now available on Windows 10 and Pocket Editions. The update adds some major changes and brings some unprecedented customization options to users.

Mojang has launched Add-Ons, which let you customize the look of your world, as well as mob behavior. According to employee Owen Jones, it could “change the way you play Minecraft forever.”
