Developer Mojang has warned anyone playing Minecraft through the Xbox app on PC not to download its latest update as it could cause their worlds to disappear. Minecraft's Game Release Known Issues page takes the explanations a little further, saying that using the repair tool will update Microsoft's Gaming Services to version 19.87.13001.0, which will avoid the update error, and presumably prevent all resulting world-snuffing mayhem. This week's Minecraft Bedrock update, as per Mojang's release notes, doubles the health of Wolves to bring parity with the Java version, and introduces a number of experimental features from this summer's big 1.21 update, including the Bogged (a new skeleton variant that shoots poisonous arrows), Wind Charge, and the Vault block, which holds locked treasure and loot.
