"Minecraft’s" developer Mojang has released an update that protects gamers using Windows PCs.

The update bundles Java with “Minecraft” during download, doing away with the separate full version of Java.

According to Engadget, Mojang has released the new version of “Minecraft” that provides a standalone version of Java when the game is downloading. This protects users from potential security threats posed by the previous Java set up, which worked independently of the game. This version only operates when the game is being used.

However, this update is only available for Windows users. Mojang does say it will be available for OS X users later this year. The download is available here.

The Register explains the previous set up made users check off boxes during the Java download to prevent extra options and fripperies to be added. The specific security threat to PC users was the Java browser plugin; however, this has been done away with in the updated installer.

The update will not only be good for players’ security, it will also help players keep up with Java updates. A tedious task before, now that Java is bundled with “Minecraft” players will update more often, which according to developer Nathan “Dinnerbone” Adams helps the game’s performance.

He has been trying to get “Minecraft” players to update to the latest update, Java 8.

"A really, really big percentage of our players use 32-bit java on 64-bit machines, and they don't even know," Dinnerbone wrote on Reddit post The Register quoted. "64-bit java runs significantly better in a lot of scenarios for ‘Minecraft,’ so it's just a waste that they do this.”

Adams has been working hard to get players to use Jave 8 and is nearing his goal, according to a recent tweet.

The update will also be useful as more than 90 percent of PC “Minecraft” users use a version of Windows, according to Adams.
