Minecraft Dungeons – Ver. 1.17.0.0

Release date: November 30th 2022 (North America, Europe) / December 1st 2022 (Japan)
Patch notes:

Balancing:

Enchantsmith

We have lowered the Enchantsmith costs and scaling to be much more favourable and increased both consistent rate of gold drops from Ancient Hunt chests, along with the end of level reward to add an overall more inflated gold economy.

Enchantsmith Merchant

Base charge (Item level 1) from 100 > 20

Price increase per re-roll from 5% > 10%

Item power scaler from 1 > 0.65

Maximum re-roll price from 250 > 100

Ancient Hunts

Gold Chest

Min Gold from 2 > 4

Max Gold from 5 > 6

Rare Gold Chest

Min Gold from 4 > 8

Max Gold from 7 > 10

Weapons

Many unique variants of weapons have been brought in line with their non-unique selves after the previous balance patch including:

Sun’s Grace (MCD-7460)

Flail

Shrieking Crossbow (MCD-7512)

Bone Cudgel (MCD-7509)

Sponge Striker

Sponge Striker now correctly scales damage with difficulty (MCD-5935)

Sponge Striker now deals damage as a cleave applied to the last arc of an attack combo, rather than only applying to the initially targeted enemy

Gravity Enchantment

Gravity affecting players now lasts for 1 second instead of 4 seconds

Ranged attacks with the Gravity enchantment will now trigger the Gravity FX in the correct location, making it easier to see what is being affected and from where

Minecraft Dungeons – Ver. 1.16.1.0 (Fauna Faire)

Release date: October 19th 2022 (North America, Europe) / October 20th 2022 (Japan)
Patch notes:

Tower Multiplayer:

The Tower is expanding – both when it comes to the variety of floors you can encounter, and the number of players in a run! Fauna Faire’s new Tower multiplayer mode supports four players and puts bigger focus on team collaboration in order to overcome threats as you ascend to the top.

Up to 4 players can join in online multiplayer or up to 4 players in local multiplayer

Players have a shared pool of lives during a Tower run

Difficulty scales based on the number of players with increased mob health and mob count

There are also improvements to the Tower, whether playing singleplayer or multiplayer:

New Tower floors featuring Cacti Canyon, Windswept Peaks, and Broken Citadel

New floors have been added to various Towers which add the Ancient Guardian and Tempest Golem!

Treetop Tangle:

Located somewhere deep within the lush forests of the Jungle Island, Treetop Tangle is a new free mission to explore together with like-minded adventurers. Players who come here will have to prepare themselves for a long climb up a giant tree if they want to discover its secrets. The journey will surely be challenging, but possibly also rewarding as the mission is said to contain some previously undiscovered pieces of gear…

Find the mission in the Island Realms on the mission select screen, even if you don’t own the Jungle Awakens DLC.

New gear to find:

Totem of Casting

Root Rot Armor

Black Spot Armor (Unique)

Enchantsmith:

The rumors of a new merchant villager lurking somewhere on the outskirts of the camp were true! The Enchantsmith has arrived just in time for the faire and has set up shop eight o’clock of the Adventure Hub (that’s southwest for all you non-clock navigators).

Utilize their craftmanship to re-roll enchantments on your favorite pieces of gear!

Each roll on a single piece of gear increases the cost with Gold

The Enchantsmith can be unlocked by rescuing the merchant in Highblock Halls

Random Mission:

A new button has been added to the mission select screen that sends players into a random mission, gaining an additional boost in Adventure Points upon completion of the mission. This feature is available for players that have completed Obsidian Pinnacle on Default difficulty.

Seasonal Adventure:

Fauna Faire brings an animal-focused late summer to the camp. This means there will be an abundance of furr-tastic skins, pets, and other mob-themed cosmetic items to add to your closet. Whether you want to embrace your inner chicken or show off your mighty paw-er, there’s something for everyone. And just as with previous seasonal adventures, Fauna Faire offers two reward tracks – one free and one Adventure Pass track.

The active season can be changed in the Adventure Hub so you can still earn rank and rewards from Seasons 1 and 2. Setting the season in the Adventure Hub will make all Adventure Points go toward ranking up in the selected season!

New Achievements:

Discover and unlock 10 new achievements during your adventures!

Changes:

Storage Chest

If your inventory is full, any picked up loot will now appear in the Storage Chest and you will be notified with a handy message on-screen

Inventory filter options have been added to the Storage Chest screen

Additional notes: none.

Minecraft Dungeons – Ver. 1.12.0.0

Release date: December 14th 2021 (North America, Europe, Japan)
Patch notes:

The Tower:

The Tower is a new gameplay area, available for all players as part of the free Cloudy Climb update.
In the Tower, the player controls an avatar: a character that initially has no gear, but slowly collects it through a selection of rewards you earn as you progress. The Tower itself has 30 different floors, with each one harder than the previous one, and the goal is to make it as high up as you possibly can for the best rewards!
The Tower is home to both familiar mobs and bosses from Minecraft Dungeons – but also a few new foes as well. Not all Tower inhabitants are hostile and some of them will help you along your way up by modifying the gear that you collect. They can increase the power of it, upgrade it to a unique variant, or gild it.
The Tower’s floors will change every few weeks, which gives you a limited window to master its current layout.

Seasonal Adventure Rewards and Progression:

A new progression system has been added to Minecraft Dungeons, allowing new cosmetic rewards to be unlocked, including capes, emotes, pets, flairs, and skins.
Adventure Points are gained through regular gameplay or by completing weekly challenges in the game. The more points you earn, the higher your Adventure Rank becomes, unlocking even greater rewards.
Accessing the Adventure Hub from The Camp allows you to see your current progress towards rewards and challenges. There is a free track of rewards that is available to all players, as well as a premium track that is available to those who purchase the Season 1 Adventure Pass.

Minecraft Dungeons – Ver. 1.8.0.0

Release date: February 24th 2021 (North America, Europe, Japan)
Patch notes:

Free Update:

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!

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

New Weapons

Broken Sawblade

Mechanized Sawblade (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

Updraft damage 110 -> 80

Wolf

Health 100 -> 200

Damage 85 -> 100

Mace

Third attack from 225 area -> 250

Third attack damage from 90 -> 140

Katana

Attack speed increased by ~30%

Dagger

Range increased from 330 -> 350

Rapier

Damage increased from 11 -> 13 (and 60 -> 70 for last attack)

Soul Scythe

Damage 75 -> 80

Splash factor 0.75 -> 0.85

Hunting Bow

Increased quiver size by 50%

Decreased charged shot damage multiplier from 2.5 -> 2.0

Power Bow

Damage increased by 33%

Fixed an issue where charged attacks weren’t extra strong as described

Trickbow

Damage increased by 20%

Projectile speed increased by 20%

Windbow

Increased quiver size by 20%

Made several improvements and fixes to text-to-speech functionality in the menus

Local co-op players can no longer be accidentally added if the friend screen is open after the player dies

Fixed the Howling Peaks screen linking to the base game on the Nintendo eShop

The mouse indicator no longer stays on items in merchant screens after changing the input from mouse to controller on PC

Goat and Arctic Fox pets now play the correct sound when equipped

Lift gates in Windswept Peaks now play sounds when opening and closing

Improved line spacing of text in several areas of the menus

Known Issues:

In rare cases, multiple Ancient Mobs may spawn at once

Completing missions in multiplayer as a client who does not have the level unlocked can fail to count towards Apocalypse Plus unlock progress

Rarely, rolling off the map in certain areas in Warped Forest may cause the player to respawn at the beginning of an Ancient Hunt

The objective marker can fail to guide players through the Nether Fortress mission

Environmental fires in Nether missions do not damage players or mobs

The Pain Cycle gilded enchantment description does not mention the health cost mechanic
