Finally, you no longer have to manually keep track of how many cake slices you’ve eaten.
Earlier today, developer Mojang released the latest patch for its open-world block-building game Minecraft. This update, version 1.8.2, introduces a number of slight changes and improvements to the massively popular adventure. You can get it now by loading your Minecraft account. As usual, the fixes and updates present here will eventually filter down to the console and mobile releases of Minecraft.

- The enemies no longer follow and attack you when you are in spectator mode.
- TNT explosion force is no longer directional.
- Beacons now ignore bedrock when shining through to the sky.
- Ocelots now spawn at and above sea level instead of at 63 blocks above the water.
- Squids now spawn at and below sea level instead of at 63 block beneath the water.
