Minecraft’s latest console update, version 1.024.000, launched on July 14. While it’s a more minor patch mainly focused on fixing bugs from previous releases, it also sneaks in a fresh music disc and improves split-screen player data access on PlayStation and Switch. If you play Minecraft on consoles, this update will quietly tidy up some annoying issues and add a fun little surprise.
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from a hotfix, but the new music disc “Lava Chicken” by Hyper Potions caught me off guard — it drops when you defeat a baby Zombie riding a Chicken, aka the Chicken Jockey. That’s such a quirky little detail. Plus, if you’ve ever struggled with split-screen player inventories disappearing or not syncing properly, this patch should help fix that for data created in version 1.21.80 and earlier.
Alright, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what’s been fixed and tweaked in this update…
