Both Minecraft: Xbox One Edition and Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition has new patches to fix bugs coming soon, 4J Studios announced Thursday. The developer also teased the next big feature update to the open-world sandbox game. How does the long-awaited arrival of horses sound?

4J Studios revealed that a bug fix update for Minecraft is coming to both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One soon. It’s aimed squarely at various bugs that have been discovered since the next-gen console versions were released in September.

More interestingly, 4J Studios dropped a huge hint at what will be in the next title update for all four, soon to be five, console versions of Minecraft. It shows a significant attempt at attempting to get caught up with the PC version.

We’re now working on an update for all Minecraft console editions to move up to the equivalent of Java 1.6.4 version. It may take some time! — 4J Studios (@4JStudios) October 2, 2014

For those that don’t know, TU14 was the last console Minecraft update to add new features to the game and was released all the way back in March of this year. Its PC equivalent was the 1.3.1 update with a few other things. This next update will jump three PC updates, which includes the Pretty Scary Update, Redstone Update, and Horse Update. That’s potentially a ton of content.

The Pretty Scary Update added Bats, Witches, the Wither boss, and Wither Skeletons as new mobs. It also brought Beacons and items that were included in the TU14 update such as Carrots on Sticks, Anvils, and more.

The Redstone Update focused primarily on adding new redstone blocks, but also optimized the lighting engine. Some of the new blocks included the comparator, hopper, dropper, daylight sensor, trapped chest, weighted pressure plates, and block of redstone. There were also some PC specific updates like a scoreboard system which likely won’t make the transfer to the PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

Lastly, the Horse Update brought horses, naturally, plus donkeys, and mules. It also brought leads to tie to any mob, plus hay, carpet, coal blocks, and hardened clay that can be turned into stained clay with dye.

That’s a pretty massive list of changes to bring into the Minecraft: Xbox and Minecraft: PlayStation Editions. It’s not surprising that 4J Studios is warning that it may take some time. The developer spent much of its time and resources this past year trying to get the next-gen console versions of the game out. Now it can work on trying to catch up to being only a year behind the PC version.

Here’s the list of bug fixes that are common across both the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Minecraft with the patch update that should be out within the next week.
