Minecraft console developer 4J Studios recently announced that updates are currently being tested for both Minecraft PS4 and Xbox One Edition, according to reports.

The patch, as GameNGuide reported, should fix a number of launch bugs for the two mentioned next-gen consoles. This includes "fix for glass blocks," "fix for missing chunks in superflat world on host console," "mob spawning rates adjustments," and mob aggression, just to mention a few.

A complete patch notes have been provided by the site via the Minecraft Forum:

Fix for tile entities not being saved correctly in unloaded chunks. (Empty Chests, Spawners turning into Pig Spawners, etc.)
