Player reaction to the new update has so far been positive. To introduce the new update, developers took to Twitch to livestream themselves trying to complete a Redstone Puzzle map that was pre-filled with the features coming in the Overworld Update. The video is shown below, but rest assured that despite needing some wall hacking to fix the occasional broken puzzle, #TeamOcelot (Shoghi and Daniel) defeated #TeamSquid (Tommo and Jason) in the race.

The advanced mechanical contraptions now possible after the update include comparators, repeaters, dispensers, droppers, hoppers, trapped chests and more.
