If you are one of the many players who are playing Minecraft on a mobile device running iOS or Android, or on PCs running Windows 10, then this should come as good news to you- a new update for the game has added one of the game’s most powerful tools to these builds. Redstone, which is now a fairly integral part of the building experience in Minecraft, is now available to the Windows 10 and mobile versions of the game.
This is something that has already been available for players of the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, PS Vita, pre Windows 10 PC versions, and Mac versions of the game for a while now- so it’s good to see all versions finally achieve parity on this front.
The full patch notes follow:
New Features
- Redstone Circuits: Redstone Wire, Torch, Lamp, Levers, Buttons, Pressure plates, Tripwires, Trapped Chests and Detector Rails. Craft them all!
- Cute, fluffy, crop-eating, bunnies
- Desert temples
- New types of wooden doors
Removed Features
- Stonecutter (RIP)
- Herobrine (RIP)
Tweaks

Bug fixes

So… yeah. Pretty extensive fixes, these.
