🌼The developer of Minecraft has warned players about an issue with installing the game's latest u🌜pdate on PC via the Xbox app and says worlds could be lost. 

On March 15, Mojang released a PSA for Minecraft players, telling them not to update the sandbox game through the Xbox app on PC: "If you do, your 𒁏worlds may be lost," the developer shares to its service status Twitter account. "We recommend that you run the Gaming Services Repair Tool for PC before install♍ing the Minecraft update."

, you'll find more information on the issue. Alongside other known issues this month, you'll find info on the Minecraft update problem. As Mojang has already said, Xbox also recommends using the Gaming Services Repair Tool for PC, which will update to version 19.87.13001.0 and avoid the update error - keeping your worlds safe and sound. 

To find this, head over to the Xbox app (on PC), select your Profile pic๊ture,🐭 choose 'Support,' 'Gaming Services Repair Tool,' and allow it to 'Start Troubleshooting.' It's a pretty easy fix for the issue but one that has potentially devastating consequences if missed. Here's hoping a more permanent fix is currently in the works. 

Minecraft's most recent update (ver. ) was rolled out on March 12 and made several changes including giving Wolves double the amount of health they used to, adding a new variant of S🦩keletons that shoot poisonous arrows, allowing players to use Wind Charge to fire off a Wind Charge projectile, and much more. 

Earlier this week, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:artist behind Minecraft's iconic paintings shared the original artworkꦉ that was used for the game 14 years ago. Kristoffer Zetter♒strand not only shared the original PNGs but also revealed how they got involved in the "little weird indie hobby game" all those years ago.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Enterta🦹inment team every now and then. &nbs꧅p;
