The '''Adventure Update''' is the name of two major themed updates for {{el|je}}, and focused on aspects such as combat, exploration, and adventure. The first part was released as [[Minecraft:Java Edition Beta 1.8|Beta 1.8]] on September 14, 2011 which focused on the new [[Minecraft:hunger]] feature, terrain and structure generation, and a new mob. The second part was released as official release [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.0.0|1.0.0]] on November 18, 2011, adding [[Minecraft:potions]], [[Minecraft:enchantments]], and the new [[Minecraft:End]] dimension with an entirely optional final boss.
