On Wednesday, Mojang Studios released a new set of pre-release Minecraft builds for players to test across every platform, with a key feature headlining both updates. The Vex mob, an uncommon hostile mob summoned by dangerous Evokers, is finally getting redesigned to make it more consistent with Minecraft’s wider visual art design.
The latestMinecraft Previewbuild follows itsMinecraft: Java Edition counterpartin redesigning the Vex. With the update, the Vex is now visually similar to the Allay, except with more aggressive wings, eyes, and coloring. Of course, the Vex also carries a deadly sword with which it attacks its victims. Mojang Studios is also updating the Vex’s hitbox to make the tiny creature a little less frustrating to fight.
Minecraftplayers can now install the Preview build and search out the new Vex for themselves. There are other minor updates and bug fixes included in this release, but the focus is certainly on making the Vex deserving of a place within one ofXbox’s most successful games. Pending testing and community feedback, the Vex’s updated design should roll out to all players in a future update.
