Chinese Mythological Characters Journey to Minecraft

Mojang has announced plans to bring Chinese mythological characters into Minecraft this upcoming month.

On October 4, all of the game’s console editions will receive the Minecraft Chinese Mythology Mash-Up Pack as a DLC, in addition to a free update. The pack includes 41 new skins, 13 new music tracks and a special map for the Battle Mini Game, which has ancient cities to explore and dragons to gawk at. The Chinese Mythology Mash-Up Pack will run you a cost of $4.99 and is based on Chinese lore.

The accompanying free update will add seven new building blocks, new terrain generation features (including fossils buried underground), polar bears, banners, and a new plant called beetroot that can be crafted into a soup that restores health when consumed.

The DLC will be available on Xbox One and Wii U on October 4, followed by other consoles on October 5.
