Yesterday, Microsoft and Mojang announced a new Power Ranger skin pack for Minecraft Pocket Edition and Windows 10. The pack was part of a wider update that brings the version of the game up to version 1.0.5. As usual, Mojang has done a good job bundling in plenty of features as we can see by the changelog.
Among the new features is an introduction of more commands to Minecraft PE and Windows 10. Mojang has added /title, /stopsound/, /difficulty, and several other commands to the game.
UI tweaks are also part of version 1.0.5, such as a change to the way the magnifying glass appears over text. As for bug fixes, the update solves some gameplay problems. For example, the Ghast Fireball is now much more accurate and villagers no longer loot an inventory when the player dies.
Of course, the big new feature here is the Power Rangers skin pack that we discussed yesterday. However, that is a paid extra costing $2.99.
“As a teen I remember getting out of school, grabbing a snack and settling into the cartoon line-up,” Mojang artist Mike Fielder said in a blog post. “Part of that routine was watching Power Rangers. When I found out we would be working on a Minecraft version of some of the character line-up I was pretty excited and even more so when I found out Bulk and Skull would be included since they were my favourite characters. I had a blast creating Minecraft versions of these characters. I hope everyone who uses these skins has as much fun playing them as I did creating them.”
