A new update is rolling out to the Bedrock versions of Minecraft for Windows 10, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices. The version 1.13.0 of the game brings several new features including the Character Creator that shipped in a previous beta last month.
Minecraft recently welcomed various new animals including pandas, cats, and bees, but this new update introduces some not so friendly foxes, which will go hunt nearby chickens at night. You can see what the Minecraft-style foxes look like in the video below:
Adorable, a little bit mischievous, and now all over the place: the beloved and elusive fox is coming to Bedrock-powered platforms today! We chatted with the devs ahead of the fox’s impending widespread release!

This latest release also brings new Note Block Instruments and many other features you can find below:
Foxes!
- Keep your chickens safe and your belongings close, otherwise you’ll find them dead or gone – especially come nightfall. Foxes are more active at night and seek shade to sleep during the day. However, if you’re patient enough to feed two of them Sweet Berries, you can end up with a trusty one!

Suspicious Stew
- Craft stew with different flowers to grant different potion effects for a short period of time

Wither Rose
- A new, scary looking flower that is planted wherever a living entity dies to the Wither
- Might be useful when crafting Suspicious Stew?
Item Frames can now be placed on the floor and ceiling!
Added abandoned villages
