MINECRAFT DUNGEONS PATCH UPDATE Now Runs at 4K & 120 FPS

By Leslie

The developers at Mojang have released a new update for Minecraft Dungeons that features Flames of the Nether DLC. Among the many new features, improvements for next-generation Xbox Series Xand S controllers deserve a mention.

Patch 1.8.0.0 released by Mojang opens the door to a new DLC called Flames of the Nether and six new missions set in the Minecraft universe accompanied by many new artifacts, weapons and armor. Among the most important news that came with the update, it is worth noting the improvement for Microsoft’s next-generation consoles, while for the PlayStation 5, details have yet to be announced. With the advancements arriving, Minecraft Dungeons will support 4K up to 120fps on Xbox Series X, while on Xbox Series S it will stop at 1440p and 60fps.

Either way, the accuracy and frame rate will vary and suffer a drop in the four-player Local Collaboration Sessions. To celebrate the record of ten million users, Mojang has also released a new coat and free pet.

In the past few days, Microsoft introduced a new FPS Boost feature for the Xbox Series X and S, which promises to improve the frame rate for backwards compatible games.

Minecraft Dungeons Patch Notes 1.8.0.0 – February 24, 2021

Ancient Hunts

Ancient Hunts are procedurally-generated end-game missions that weave in and out of the Nether. To access an Ancient Hunt, you’ll need to sacrifice some of your items. The combination of items changes which rare Ancient mobs you may encounter. Investing enchantment points further increases your chances to encounter ancient mobs. Defeating these mobs gives you brand-new Gilded gear, which is more powerful than anything you’ve yet encountered!

Gilded Gear

Gilded gear drops are part of the free update as ultra-rare items with an extra Enchantment slot built-in, making them some of the most powerful items in the game. To get these end-game level items, you’ll have to face the Ancient Hunts and travel to the dangerous Nether.

Gold Currency and Piglin Merchant
Once you get your first bit of gold from Ancient Hunts, the Piglin merchant will set up shop in the mysterious cave that’s popped up near camp. Trade the gold for items and possibly even rare Gilded gear!

Please note that gold must be earned in-game and cannot be purchased!

  • These resolutions and frame rates are variable, and will lower while playing four player local co-op

Flames of the Nether DLC:

DLC Features

  • Journey to the heart of the Nether in six new missions that will let you explore from the Minecraft universe in an all-new way. The adventure ahead will bring new artifacts and gear for those who are brave enough to face the fiery wrath of the Nether’s dangerous mobs.
  • Two new player skins and a Baby Ghast pet

  • Weeping Vine Bow (Unique)

Balance Changes:

Arch Haven and Soggy Cave

  • The unlock locations of these secret missions now always appear on Pumpkin Pastures and Soggy Swamp

Apocalypse Plus

  • The previous twenty Apocalypse Plus levels have been compressed into ten levels
  • Characters that had reached +20 prior to this update will now have +10 unlocked. Their gear will remain unchanged
  • 15 additional Apocalypse Plus levels have been added, bringing the total up to 25
  • Each Apocalypse Plus level now increases gear power and mob stats more than previously
  • The difficulty curve has been adjusted behind the scenes such that Apocalypse Plus gives you a similar or slightly more difficult degree of challenge early on, but is significantly easier towards the end
  • Every third Apocalypse Plus level now requires completing one or multiple boss missions to finish. Sorry, that means you can’t get to the end by playing Arch Haven many times over!
  • There is no longer a small chance for mobs to respawn while playing on high Apocalypse Plus levels
  • Drastically lowered the frequency of tier 2 and 3 variants of mobs (such as armored Zombies and Illagers) on Apocalypse Plus difficulty. This makes the gameplay feel more varied and alternating in pace and level of challenge when fighting mobs

Mob Enchantments

  • Electrified interval from every 5s -> 4s
  • Electrified damage from 150 -> 90
  • This means that Electrified’s damage per second from mobs has gone from 30 to 22.5

Blacksmith

  • Each apocalypse plus threshold is now also a threshold for upgrading items at the Blacksmith

Enchantment Slots

  • Bosses in Apocalypse are now more likely to drop triple-enchanted items
  • Item drops now become guaranteed to have three enchantment slots partway through Apocalypse Plus

Artifact Cooldown Effects

  • Cooldown decrease from armor buffed from 30% to 40%
  • Cooldown decrease from a single enchantment slot buffed from ~30% to ~40%
  • Stacked cooldown decreases from multiple sources of different types will now have diminished benefits
    • Example: Using Evocation Robes and 3x maxed out Cooldown enchantments, the cooldown change would go from an 87% decrease to a 77% decrease
  • Overall, this is a buff to most cooldown combinations, and a slight nerf to cooldown builds that use a cooldown armor with two or more stacked Cooldown enchantment slots. We’re hoping it will free up some enchantment slots for use on other things, while simultaneously fixing a few issues with stacking cooldowns we had previously

Ravager

  • Charge attack damage 350 -> 175

Rampart Captain

  • Damage 440 -> 300

Wind Caller
