Minecraft, free Planet Earth III DLC available for download

Minecraft players can now enjoy a new free DLC. It is offered in association with the BBC and is called the Planet Eath III DLC.

Minecraft is a title where it is possible to build complex structures while trying to avoid “mobs”. The new Planet Eath III DLC brings other things that can enrich its experience. Available for download from the Minecraft Marketplace and Minecraft Education, the Planet Earth III DLC pack is free. It is based on the final episode of the BBC documentary series of the same name.

Mojang explains that this content offers different scenarios and the possibility to play as different animals who must fight to survive.

For example, one of them is Tides of Change, where the player either plays a fur seal off the coast of South Africa trying to get something to eat, or a great white shark whose mission will be to find seals.

Another scenario is arctic adversaries, where it is possible to be arctic wolves hunting musk oxen in the Canadian tundra, or the ox itself trying to protect its young calves.

These are just a few examples. The DLC also includes the BBC Planet Earth Field Station, which is the central hub. It is explained

For each completed activity, you’ll get rewards to decorate the center of the field station, such as in-game trophies, clothing, and more. The central hub is also where you can keep track of all the activities you’ve completed, play with soundboards, replay activities, replay cutscenes, and learn more about the amazing animals featured in Planet Earth III.

Finally, the DLC pack includes a free Great White Shark character creator item that your regular Minecraft character can wear in the game.
