Super secret MineCraft project revealed!

Hey clan. In my last post, i told you that I had a project in the making. Well, that project I am working on is a city wall for a multiplayer server I am thinking about starting. It's gonna take some time though. The wall itself will be pretty large, probably big enough to fit 300+ buildings just inside the walls. I will release more details when i can. Cya! :)

The Minecraft Forums have been updated recently. I like this personally because along with bringing back the topic and post history, it just flat out makes it alot easier to get around the forums again.....besides the breaking of links, pictures and videos....yeah ._. lol but seriously, good job Curse! :D

Lego Minecraft update and more!!!!

Hey Everyone. So a while back, I started covering the LEGO cuusoo idea "Lego Minecraft." Well, after this idea hit 10,000 votes on the website, it went into the review stage where a jury would decide on if it would become a reality, and if it did, how to sell it. Well finally after about 3+ weeks of waiting, Lego minecraft has passed through the review stage.

here is what The website posted on their blog today.  -

"Happy New Year! Since the Minecraft™ project reached 10,000 supporters on LEGO® CUUSOO, many of you have been eagerly awaiting our update.  Until now, the project has been in the LEGO Review—a stage before product development begins where a LEGO Jury evaluates the idea’s feasibility as a product and makes a decision.
We're happy to announce that the Minecraft project on LEGO CUUSOO has passed the LEGO review and we are now developing a concept that celebrates the best aspects of building with the LEGO system and in Minecraft. We can’t wait to show it to you—but it isn't ready just yet. These things take time, so we appreciate your patience. More details are to come."


I will be getting more into this as time goes on and also, please tell me what you would like to see be made into a minecraft lego set! :)

One more thing for today, My other friend Mark Cooper aka Astragali of "The Minecraft Scribe" just released a new blog called "The Digital Quill" a place to share creative, non minecraft stuff.

Just for a notice/warning thing, Astragali said this -

"My other blog, The Minecraft Scribe, is PG-13. However, my postings to The Digital Quill may venture into R-rated territory (for language) from time to time. I think that, should that happen, I’ll place an NSFW (Not Safe For Work) advisory at the start of the post, rather than my original intention, which was to just make a blanket statement here of “Consider yourself warned.”

so please go and check it out. It's just starting out but keep an eye on it, you never know what Astra's gonna write next! :)


that's it for now. As always please stay tuned for more news and updates! :D

Back on the blog and new minecraft snapshot!

Hey guys, I'm back from my vacation and that means, I am back on here! YAY :)

So today, Mojang released another snapshot called 12W01A.

There is an excellent change list for this snapshot as well. Here it is.

New language translations. We changed from using Google Docs to a new system, so these may still contain a lot of errors or missing texts. Please check the Minecraft forums (language section) for more info.

Slightly smoothed color transitions between biomes

Reduced brewing time to 20 seconds

Decreased randomness of Enchantment Tables

Changed colors of spawning eggs to more represent the mobs they spawn

Made biomes slightly more varied (hills in forests and deserts, beaches)

Added world type options (currently only super-flat and default)

Removed collision box from ladders

Updated fence gate collision box to align with fences

(Change list from The Minecraft Forums)

you can find the client .jar here.

You can find the server .jar here.

Remember, this is the .jar itself, not an installer so you have to install this manually. If you don't know how to do so, please direct your attention to this video here.


Have fun! :D
