A new patch for Minecraft on Switch releasing soon contains one pretty significant change: the game now allows for a resolution of 1080p to be output when the Switch is docked. Previously, the limit, even when docked, was 720p.

Below are the full patch notes for Minecraft’s latest update on Switch:

Added Canyon, a free Glide track.

Added Biome Settlers 2 Skin pack.

Added Terracotta and Glazed Terracotta layers to Tumble.

Enable 1080p display when placed in the Nintendo Switch Dock.

Improved performance in Solo Glide when restarting the level (particularly with split-screen spectators).

Totem of Undying now also applies Fire Resistance II.

Fixed some areas where it was possible to escape from Battle maps or Glide tracks.

Fixed a bug where players were unable to milk a Cow in Creative Mode.

Fixed a bug where players were being teleported back to the Nether portal shortly after arriving in the other dimension.

Fixed a bug where broken Banners wouldn’t stack with crafted Banners.

Fixed a bug where Wheat, Ladders, and Banners were not correctly spawning in Woodland Mansions.

Fixed a bug where Monster Spawners in Woodland Mansions were Pigs instead of Spiders.

Fixed a bug where the Item Frame icon appeared when holding a Map.

Fixed an incorrect death message when players were killed by Zombie Villagers.

Fix for custom names of Mobs not being shown in death messages.

Fix for being unable to unlock “Sniper Duel”.

So apart from smaller worlds.... is it basically running and looking the same as the xbox one & PS4 versions now?

Eh, http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=230629&page=1

yeap, but the world still bigger on ps4 and x1.

sorry bro, i haven't seen :/, a mod will delete this thread soon.

NP, it happens to me all the time. :)

I don't understand why the world would have to be smaller on the Switch version? Just decrease the draw-distance and have the worlds load more once you get closer to the section loading.

The Xbox 360 version was soooooooooooooooo fucking small compared to the PC version.

yeah but its still a licensed, fully portable version of Minecraft. plus if you really cared about size, the PC version has you covered

i agree

This thread is better, you put a lot more infos in the OP than just the res-upgrade and the discussion didn't got derailed started with the first answer. I say let's lock the first thread.
