Minecraft 1.19.3 update is here! Check new features; spawn eggs, player skins, more

For most Minecraft players, updates are a thing of joy. This is when the developers add new features, fix glitches and bugs and test new game mechanics. Last month, we saw the Minecraft Bedrock Update 1.19.50 which added the spectator mode to the game. And now, the Java Edition brings its own 1.19.3 update which has added some cool new features. This is also likely to be the final update of the year. The update has added new spawn eggs, player skins, new commands and more things to the game. If you are a Minecraft Java Edition player, then you need to know about all the new things you get to experience after the update. Read on.

It should be noted that the update is exclusively for Java Edition players and different from the update for Bedrock players. The initial roll out of the update began on December 7 and it is now available for the global player base. Also, this is not a major update. The next major update, Minecraft 1.20 is likely to arrive in the summer of 2023.

Some of the additions to the new update can be visibly seen while others are more behind the scenes. But they all add something interesting to the game. The game also fixes a number of issues and bugs, but here we are focusing on the big features seen in the update.

The update adds new spawn eggs in the creative mode of the game. Earlier players could not add spawn eggs for certain mobs such as Ender Dragon, Iron Golem and more, but now players will be able to find their spawn eggs as well.

A fillbiome command has already been added to the game which allows players to alter the visual appearance of their world. After adding the command, the player will need to add a start point and an endpoint and then the player can control the weather, climate and other effects on the area. It should be noted that blocks will not be affected through this command.

The update also fixes the need for internet connection to use the new default skins in the game. Now players can access the skins even in the offline mode.

Bundles have also been added to the game. These are craftable storage units that do not take inventory space but store items within it.
