After being exclusively released for Xbox One and Xbox 360, the two latest "Star Wars" skin packs for "Minecraft" are now available for PlayStation consoles.

According to a recent post from 4J Studios, update 1.19 is now live. This update not only fixes several bugs found in the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita editions of the popular sandbox survival game, it also includes support for two DLC skin packs and features trial content. 

The first of the two packs is known as the Classic Skin Pack, and it features seven versions of legendary "Star Wars" characters including Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Chewbacca, as well as other notable characters like Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and C-3PO.  The other pack, on the other hand, is inspired by the new "Star Wars Rebels" animated series. It comes with skins from the show's characters such as Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, Hera Sundulla, and Chopper. 

Both packs were made as a result of the collaboration between Microsoft, Disney Interactive, and Lucasfilm and can be purchased via the PlayStation Store for just $3 individually. 

Aside from the "Star Wars" skin packs, the patch also fixes the most common issues in the game, including the instability for adding and reducing players from a game, fixing particle effects that are not showing properly in high altitudes, as well as optimizing water rendering in the game. 

Other fixes brought by the latest "Minecraft" update include the resetting of the fuel meter in a furnace when a Lava Bucket is used, the problem where the tick rate seen in a chunk loads faster when being unloaded and reloaded, the wood-breaking sound caused by putting out fires using buckets of water, the Potion of Swiftness that does not work when players use splitscreen, and the problem encountered whenever players unlock the Enchanter trophy using the Classic Crafting, among others. 

All these updates are available for Xbox One and Xbox 360 editions of "Minecraft" as well.
