Minecraft Dungeons recently received Patch 1.12.0.0 that added new features and bug fixes.
In this update, players can experience a new gameplay area called The Tower. The game starts with players having no gear and making their way through floors to collect rewards. The Tower has 30 floors and the higher players go, the better the rewards. The Tower’s floors will change every few weeks, which gives players limited time to master the floor layout.
The developers also fixed an issue where the game would crash when the player swaps some melee weapons in mid-attack. Additionally, an issue where data could be lost when shutting down the PC during a loading screen has been fixed.
