The much awaited update version 0.15.3 for the Windows versions of “Minecraft” was believed to be on its way until the “Pokemon Go” craze got in the way.
It was earlier reported that Microsoft would be releasing the patch for the Windows 10 and Pocket editions of Minecraft, full of bug fixes and tweaks that would allow gamers better game play. In fact change log was already published by Mojang and many were presumably looking forward to it.
"Pokemon Go" to blame?
Just as many Windows users were eager to get update version 0.15.3, a new report from Neurogadget offers a crazy reason and such is tied up with the Pokemon Go craze.
Believe it or not, a representative from Mojang claims that the work force on their end have been distracted by Pokemon Go, a distraction cropping up due to their alleged ‘intensive’ hookup to the game.
Hilarious as the reason may be, the fact that the update has been stalled is no laughing matter. Take note that there are two versions being awaited which means that even the Minecraft Pocket edition will not be out.
Mojang explained that the pocket edition for Windows 10 won’t be released for now and that the best thing to do is wait for a future release.
With that said, only the players who were able to secure the game via Google Play can see the key changes brought in by the latest patch.
What Windows gamers are missing out
The Minecraft update version 0.15.3 carries a lot of bug fixes and tweaks that players will be missing out. That includes improvements made to the atlas generation, mouse controls, Realms purchase functionality, horse breeding and block moving.
Some text alignments were also addressed and fixes to problems such as the inability to open the inventory of another player when mounted on a horse or pig. These and more are in store for Minecraft gamers, with Windows-based players unfortunately needing to wait.
