A day following the Minecraft 1.8.2 update, Mojang launched a new patch for the voxel-based game. The studio confirmed last week's second update from the developer's official website to remedy known bugs found within the game.
The team suggests that each player of Minecraft must update their game to bring their download current with 1.8.3 to gain access to bug fixes and improvements offered.

"Minecraft 1.8.3 is now available. It fixes a serious bug in 1.8.2 that could cause crashes on world load," Stoyke tweeted.
This new bug fix updates are purposively preparing the game for the soon to be released version 1.9 for the game's original PC edition.

Specifically, Minecraft's 1.9 update will add improved Ender Dragon behavioral A.I. that was originally developed on Xbox and Playstation.
