Minecraft: Wii U Edition – Sneak peek at the holiday content

Like several other games, Minecraft: Wii U Edition get additional content (free and paid) regularly, throughout the year. Naturally, it’s also getting some seasonal content, such as the Halloween packs released a few weeks ago. And of course, you bet there’s going to be some special content for the holiday!

Yesterday, Mojang gave us a sneak peek at what will be included in the holiday update for the console version of Minecraft. There will be new mobs, blocks, items, status effects, and more.

Here’s a non-exhaustive list of content:

• Elytra! Soar through The End on your freshly-minted insectoid glider, or, if you’d rather practice first, why not put your aerobatic skills to the test by generating a world with the new Amplified Terrain option?
• End Cities, replete with End Ships, Chorus Plants, Chorus Flowers and Purpur blocks. Not all is as it seems, however – some blocks may conceal Shulkers, limpet-like enemies who fire homing rockets. Take a hit and you’ll take damage and experience something new, too: levitation! Elytra are essential to avoid an uncomfortable landing.
• You can now use Dragon’s Breath to create Lingering Potions – throwable potions that leave a bubbling slick behind, ideal for ensnaring unwary pursuers.

The full list of contents and patchnotes will be available at a later date, but in the mean time, you can check out the following two screenshots:
