The Star Wars: Path of the Jedi DLC isn’t just an interactive map with a Star Wars theme. This features an entire narrative campaign, featuring new gameplay mechanics and abilities not found in vanilla Minecraft. You begin your journey as an inexperienced Padawan during the infamous Clone Wars. You must train underneath Jedi Masters like Yoda himself, honing your abilities with the Force and the lightsabers you create.
You’ll visit familiar locations from theStar Warsuniverse, embarking on a quest to assist the Jedi in the galaxy-wide war consuming entire planets. Eventually, you’ll rise to the rank of Jedi Knight, with enough power to go toe-to-toe against legions of droids, and even General Grievous himself. You even get your own personal astromech droid to customize alongside your lightsabers, as well as 32 different skins.
Apparently, there are multiple ways to play Path of the Jedi, offering a lot of replayability. Even if you don’t hop into the new DLC to become a Jedi, you can still pick up a free Creator Item from the Marketplace: an R2-D2 shirt! The cost of entry isn’t too steep, though. You can purchase Star Wars: Path of the Jedi right now for1,510 Minecoins at the Minecraft Marketplace, which is a little less than $10. The DLC is for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, and works acrossXbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, PS4|5, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS.
Minecraft is of course included inXbox Game Pass, too, but the Path of the Jedi DLC is not. Either way, it’s yet another way to mix up the classic gameplay we all know and love in one of thebest Xbox games of all time. If you’d rather stick with that classic formula,Minecraft: Bedrock Edition recently got a new patch updateacross platforms.
