Minecraft: Wii U edition’s server has been updated! Lots of under-the-hood fixes, but the headline is that you are no longer limited to 2 players in your minigames and worlds! With this update you can join as many friends as you’d like (still friends only for the time being) and play.
We’ve received reports that 118- errors are prevalent, so there’s work to be done - these are p2p errors; unfortunately the game’s ancient netcode doesn’t seem to handle the modern internet too well - and we’re researching solutions to this, but you should still see a big improvement!
