Mojang will release Minecraft Boss Update with add-ons on October 18

Today at the Minecon conference in Anaheim, Calif., Mojang, the Microsoft-owned game developer behind Minecraft, announced that on October 18, it will release the Boss Update for Minecraft Pocket Edition on Android and iOS and Minecraft Windows 10 Edition Beta. The update is notable because it includes add-ons, a new way for players to customize the appearance of animals and mobs by tinkering with JSON.

Mojang first unveiled the Boss Update with add-ons at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in June.
