4J Studios has announced a bug fix update for Minecraft: PS4 Edition is "in test at the moment." Presumably going live soon, the developer has gone ahead and posted the fixes and additions it'll bring.
In addition to the upcoming update, 4J also says they are working on an update for all console editions to move to the equivalent of Java 1.6.4 version, but warns that it may take some time.
Below is the entire fix list, according to 4J:
Fixes:
- Fix for tile entities not being saved correctly in unloaded chunks. (Empty Chests, Spawners turning into Pig Spawners, etc.)
- Enable hiding mashup-pack worlds from the saves list, and re-enabling them all from the options menu.
- Change to ‘disable saving’ setting so that it remains set for a specific save when reloading that save.
- Fix for Glass Blocks placed next to each other rendering incorrectly.
