Some of the shortcuts will be hard to find and difficult to master, so patience and determination will be needed to clock up the best times.

The Time Attack mode of the new Minecraft mini game challenges players to get the fastest times by using thermal drafts, speed boosters and shortcuts. A Temple-inspired free map has also been confirmed, and will include jungles, mines and archeological dig sites. The themes of the paid maps confirmed so far include beasts, krakens, glaciers and Chinese Mythology.

More maps will be added in the future both for free and as part of a Season Pass. Today's Minecraft update builds on the addition of Elytra in the Christmas update, with a full launch track inspired by the Cavern map from Battle mode.
