The August Update is now available for Minecraft Legends! This update introduces a load of improvements to the game based on feedback we’ve been seeing throughout the community. Let’s take a quick gander at the highlights:

  • Improved PvP communication
  • Custom game options for Campaign and PvP
  • Refund mobs at spawners
  • Reworked campaign prologue flow
  • Revamped Banner View experience
  • Several other quality of life improvements

Another game update was released on August 3 with a variety of improvements, like improved matchmaking and sword damage to piglin structures. You can catch up on the latest from that update by checking out the previous patch notes.

We continue to read all of your feedback and there are more updates to come, so let us know your thoughts on our Minecraft Legends Discord server at discord.gg/MinecraftLegends and report bugs at bugs.mojang.com.

New Features and Content:


Improved PVP Communication Tools:


  • Updated World Map Markers - The types of available world map markers have been expanded to allow for more descriptive communication.[list]
  • On the Map screen you may cycle through the four types of markers:
  • [list]
  • Attack (eg: “Let’s attack at the Orange Base!”)
  • Defend (eg: “Let’s defend at the Blue Base!”)
  • Gather (eg: “Let’s gather at the swamp biome!”)
  • Default (eg: “PLAYER NAME has pinged the swamp biome.”)

  • New map marker messages will be displayed in the chat log to help attract your teammates' attention
  • [/list]
  • Updated Structure Placement - A new UI feature has been added beside the hot bar when placing a structure which allows players to communicate several important phrases. A player can:
    • Say that they intend to build the selected structure
    • Request that a teammate build the selected structure
    • Quickly say “Yes” or “No”

  • Lobby Roles - Players who wish to play in a certain style can now select from several presets to convey that intent to their fellow team members. Selecting a role doesn’t impact gameplay, but it’s a good way to tell your team what you intend to do in the upcoming match. Roles include:
    • Builder: Focused on building and defending your home base
    • Explorer: Scouting piglins or the enemy team for information and gathering resources for your team
    • Fighter: Primarily focused on attacking the enemy team
    • Piglin Hunter: Focused on gathering Prismarine from Piglin bases 
    • Flexible (Default): A flexible role with no specific goal in mind 

    [/list]

    Custom Game Options:


    • We’ve added Custom Campaign and Custom Versus modes to give players more freedom and control over their game experience. 
    • These new modes allow you to customize a whole range of different settings that can result in a completely different spin on the game! Make the game easier or more challenging, try a different twist on what you know and love or just give yourself tons of resources so you can play around in a sandbox!
    • When choosing a custom campaign, you will skip over the tutorial and prologue and start immediately in the main campaign when the piglin invasion is in full swing. If you’re not enjoying what you’ve selected, most settings can be changed between saves. The only exceptions are for settings that must be set when the world is created such as world size or starting resources.
    • Custom game options are also available in private versus matches. Invite your friends and craft your ideal match!
    • A quick breakdown of the different settings:
    • [list]
    • World - Change the overall size of the world, the number of rare resource veins, and bonus settings like gravity, knockback, and fall damage.
    • Resources - The amount of resources you start with and the max number you can hold. Includes a bonus challenging option that makes you lose a % of resources when a player character dies.
    • Player - Change your character's health and damage or give them bonuses like always on speed, jump, or invulnerability.
    • Player Tools - Change your mob & structure health, damage, and construction speed. You can unlock all melodies for use or even restrict some melodies from being used in a game (e.g. no creepers, no redstone launcher, etc).
    • Piglins - Change the amount of health & damage of piglin units, structures, and bosses.

  • This is an experimental mode, as there are many combinations we have not been able to test every single one, so there may be unexpected results!
  • We plan to add even more custom settings in the future for further customization and experimentation. We hope you enjoy it and can’t wait to see what unique worlds you build!
  • [/list]

    Auto Lure:


    • A new gameplay option has been added that makes mobs automatically follow the player after being spawned
    • This feature can be enabled in the Controller Settings and Keyboard/Mouse Settings screens by turning on “Auto luring”

    Mob Refund:


    • The player now has the ability to refund lured mobs at ANY player-built mob spawner
    • This allows the player to remove mobs from their spawned army one at a time and replace them with different mobs. The resource price of the spawned mob will be refunded back to the player directly into their resources
    • Mobs the player finds around the world cannot be refunded

    Structure Health Bars:


    • Player and Piglin structure health bars are now visible in Banner View[list]
    • Only structures that are in range of Banner View will have health bars visible
    • The last game update made enemy structure health visible, but now your own structures also show health bars

  • Piglin health bars are now visible while using the Redstone Launcher
    • Only structures that are in range of the Redstone Launcher will have health bars visible

  • Piglin structures hit by the player sword will display their health bar for a short time
  • The most recent Piglin structure in range of the player that has been damaged by player mobs will display its health bar for a short time
    • If player mobs are actively attacking two structures, whichever the player is closest to will have its health bar displayed

    [/list]

    Pet Animals:


    • You can now pet animals by pressing and holding the “Pet Animal” button when you are beside them. We’ve added new animations for the animals to show just how much they appreciate it!

    General Game Improvements:


    Mob Pathfinding:


    • Improved mob behavior around ledges and cliffs to reduce the frequency of mobs accidentally falling or getting lost
    • Mobs can no longer forcibly or accidentally push each other off ledges
    • They will follow players down jumps that are within mob fall height

    Improved Creeper Behavior:


    • Creepers detonate more reliably on their assigned target when given orders by the player

    Improved Visibility of Resources:


    • Rare resource deposits in the world will now glow, or gleam, occasionally to make them easier to spot when moving through the world
    • Improved Map legend to more accurately communicate which resources can be found in which biome

    Player Empowerment Improvements:


    • Reduced Fall Damage[list]
    • Players, their mounts, and their mobs fall a greater distance before taking fall damage. This results in fewer frustrating, fall-related deaths

  • Speedy Mason
    • Reduced time interval between structures being upgraded by the Stone Mason
    • Structures do not upgrade faster, but the time between a structure finishing the upgrade and the next starting has been reduced
    • This is further reduced with the Well of Fate mason upgrade

    [/list]

    Mob Combat:


    • The combat effectiveness of player mobs and piglin units has been updated. These changes were done to make each unit more unique and effective on the battlefield and to better highlight the differences between each unit
    • Players will now find that individual golems have more unique roles on the battlefield, and players will have to be more careful that they pick the right mob to counter specific piglin units or structures

    Banner View:


    • Mob Pathfinding / Banner View:[list]
    • The banner view visuals have been updated to provide the player with a more accurate representation of where their mobs will go when given a banner view order
    • Mob pathfinding has been improved so that they are more reliable in getting to their predicted destination

  • Path presentation
    • Banner view presentation has been completely overhauled
    • Aiming with banner view now presents a rectangle path that better reflects the actual width of the path mobs will follow. This change is intended to better align player expectations with the mob’s pathfinding reality
    • The mob navigable rectangle updates its position in near-real time to better communicate where mobs will actually end up after being given an order, while still maintaining the independent targeting reticle for ranged mobs
    • When either Charge or Focus Target is activated, confirmation dotted lines and arrows appear briefly before fading out - those show the projected path that mobs will navigate
    • Blue flags that were placed at the end of the banner view path have been removed to improve visual clarity of banner view use

    [/list]

    Versus Mode Accolades:


    • Three new accolades can now be awarded to players at the end of a match:[list]
    • Prismarine Pillager - Awarded to the player who collected the most Prismarine

    • Allays no longer get stuck building steep ramps (MCLG-361)

    Prologue Improvements:


    Reworked Prologue Flow:

    • Fast travel is now enabled for all the villages once the player defeats the first group of piglins at the village in the prologue
    • Updated piglin compositions throughout the prologue to better highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the player’s golems compared to the various piglin units

  • Known Issue: Some voiceovers in the prologue are not present when playing in German. These translations will be added in an upcoming game update soon
  • [/list]

    Updated In-game Text:


    • Updated prologue objective messages to better guide players and highlight what roles the starter golems fill on the battlefield

    • Added mob descriptions while using Type Select in banner view to better show the strengths and weaknesses of player mobs

    Updated Carpenter Hut Objective:

    Banner View Tutorial:

    Objective Beacons:


    • The player's objectives in the prologue are now highlighted with beacons of light that can be seen from anywhere in the world. This makes it easier to find these locations

    World Map:


    • Prologue objectives now have an identifying decal and beacon on the world map to better guide the player to their locations

    Player Compass:


    • Flashing icons on the compass no longer fade out on the edges of the compass. This makes it easier to track and follow those icons
    • A large arrow is now shown on the right or the left of the compass depending on where the flashing icon is in relation to the player’s position. This helps players know which way to turn to find these locations
    • The flashing icons’ outlines have been thickened to improve visibility
    • The flashing icons’ animation has been improved to improve visibility
    • The middle arrow in the compass now becomes larger when underneath a flashing icon to better indicate to players that this is the direction they need to go

    Village Attack Timer:
