Mojang and 4J Studios pushed out a new update to Minecraft: PlayStation and Xbox Editions Wednesdayl with a Wii U Edition update waiting in the wings.

The Minecraft: Story Mode Skin Pack is available to download on the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita. The PC, Windows 10, and iOS versions also received the skin pack for free. Note that it will be a free download for the first week of availability through April 12. It will cost $2.99 after that, but the six Jesse skins will remain free.

PlayStation users in Japan and Android users will not receive the Minecraft: Story Mode Skin Pack for free.

The skin pack for Minecraft: Story Mode comes with 27 different skins for players to use. There are multiple versions of Jesse but expect to the find the rest of the cast of characters from Telltale’s adventure game included.

In addition to the skin pack, Mojang also made a Minecraft: Story Mode arena available as a free download for Windows 10, Android, and iOS. You can download it from here. Instructions on how to install for each platform are included.

This includes fixes for various potions in the game not working on players, instances where the Ender Dragon would be immune from attacks, and cases where the Thorns enchantment would not work among others.
