Minecraft Dungeons has added the dungeon crawling and loot-gathering twist to Minecraft that we didn’t know we needed. It’s been a year since launch, and Mojang Studios is celebrating the milestone with in-game events and giveaways. The studio also revealed some numbers for the game, the most impressive of which is that Minecraft Dungeons has been played by 11,500,000 unique players from 232 countries and territories.
“But this event is about more than amazing gear and capes – it’s also about earning a bunch of emeralds celebrating our journey together: the missions we’ve explored, the challenges we’ve overcome, the friends we’ve met. we’re done along the way – even those endless moments Archie made suspicious stew of my block behind on Apocalypse Plus,” the blog post said.
The nicely designed infographic also showed us how many times Archie was defeated across all three difficulty modes. Needless to say, the number of times he was beaten in Apocalypse mode (1.3 million) was one-third that of his defeats in Default mode (3.7 million)
The Double Ax was the most equipped melee weapon, followed by Whirlwind and Fighter’s Bindings. For ranged weapons, the Fast Crossbow won ahead of the Firebolt Thrower and Exploding Crossbow. Mysterious Armor was preferred by most players, ahead of Wolf Armor and Fox Armor; and the Death Cap Mushroom was the most used item, with the Gong of Weakening and Boots of Swiftness in tow. Some more ridiculously large numbers have also been revealed, you can check them out here.
Minecraft Dungeons Received cloud backup support earlier this month. This allowed players to continue their adventures wherever they wanted, as the feature worked on all platforms as well. Before that, players would have had to start from scratch if they got a second copy of the game for a separate platform.
However, if you’re looking for a new way to play the game, Mojang Studios has teamed up with pros from arcade firm Play Mechanix to create an arcade version of the dungeon crawler, titled Arcade Dungeons Minecraft. The arcade cabinet has a total of nine levels and can be played by up to four players.
