Minecraft: Console Editions will receive a Holiday Update in late December which introduces a range of new features, most notably the ability to fly.

Microsoft isn’t ready to reveal everything that’s included in the update, but has shared the following info.

  • If you’re sick of spending all your time walking on solid ground, just equip the new Elytra, which enables players to glide through the air
  • You’ll find your Elytra in The End, which has been updated to include End Cities, End Ships and all the Chorus Plants, Flowers and Purpur you can handle. Don’t say we didn’t warn you if one turns out to be a Shulker.
  • Like potions? Use Dragon’s Breath to create Lingering Potions if you want to leave some status effects on the ground for a friend or foe to happen upon. Speaking of status effects, we’re adding a couple new ones as well – Levitation and Luck.

Look out for more details when the update launches in late December for all Minecraft console platforms.
