Among the additions with the Chinese Mythology update is a new landscape with “Eastern” influences. Among the new features to find are ancient cities, dragons, and even giant pandas. The pack also arrives with 26 new skins for gamers to enjoy. Furthermore, a new game texture has been added to add vivid color to building blocks. Microsoft used noted composer Gareth Coker to create the original score for this Minecraft update. Users will also now be able to tame and ride skeleton horses that have spawned from traps.
