Minecraft Legends will no longer push friends apart in PvP

A Minecraft Legends update is coming to let friends team up before ing PvP matchmaking, allowing you to stomp opponents with pals in the strategy game.

Jumping into strategy game.

Listen, I'm not going to deny that there's a particular kind of glee that comes from surreptitiously sliding into a multiplayer server on the opposite team from your friend and mercilessly targeting them in-game until they realise and send you an incredulous message. But teaming up is the true spirit of Minecraft, and hopping onto the best Minecraft Legends mounts and riding out alongside a true friend brings a warm glow to my heart.

Good news, then, as developer Mojang confirms, "An update is in the works to allow friends to the same team before finding other players in PvP matchmaking." That means you'll be able to ensure you're on the same side before you start looking for other players, avoiding any potential tension and letting you focus on taking down the enemy team, together.
