Minecraft Dungeons bugs and issues

Microsoft and Mojang Studios unveiled the action-adventure title Minecraft Dungeons at the E3 event last year. Inspired by classic dungeon crawlers, it combines the familiar Minecraft universe with Diablo-like action RPG gameplay. However, players have encountered a number of bugs and issues with Minecraft Dungeons across platforms. Such issues are common with any new major release.

Minecraft Dungeons is available across Windows, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Game Pass. The 4-player co-op action RPG is based on the Unreal Engine 4. It focuses on action combat, character progression, and looting.
