While Minecraft fans were waiting for the Adventure Time update, Mojang released another major update for the Windows and Pocket versions of the game.

The Discovery Update brings lots of new features and improvements to the game, including the Minecraft Marketplace. The latter allows players to browse, buy, download and play community creations directly from within the game.

A new Skyrim Mash-up Pack is now available for purchase, as well as a new location, Woodland Mansions. The update adds cartographer villager and exploration maps, new enchantments, concrete and concrete powder, Adventure Mode, new achievements, off-hand slot, llamas, shulker boxes, dyeable beds, and much more.

Also, there are a lot of tweaks in the update as well, along with many bug fixes. We are listing the most important fixes below:

Good news for Elytra fliers - You can now shoot yourself with a bow and arrow (and can splash yourself with potions again, too!)
Horses now make sounds when they jump! Neeeeigh!

Obviously, many new features and secrets haven't been mentioned by developers so that players can discover them while playing the game. Both Android and iOS versions of Minecraft: Pocket Edition have received the update today, so you might want to check them out via App Store and Google Play.
