Minecraft Dungeons Guide: Complete Changelog for ‘Creeping Winter’ DLC

Minecraft Dungeons isn’t grabbing headlines like it did at launch. Still, it’s getting a nice boost in attention following the release of its second expansion, Creeping Winter. This expansion is far bigger than its predecessor, Jungle Awakens, which didn’t do much to improve the game’s endgame content or set players back in the long run. Creeping Winter aims to fix that, with a host of meaningful additions that make the game easier, more fun, and give players reason to come back again and again.

Here is the full changelog for the Creeping Winter DLC for Minecraft Dungeons:
