Snapshot 12w08a!

Hi minecraftians!


Mario here with a few quick updates from the world of Minecraftia.


First up, the new Weekly Snapshot has been released! Indeed, there is now a way for you to go adventuring away from an NPC Village without worrying about the poor villagers getting eaten by zombies! 12w08a includes:



  • Added the Iron Golem to defend NPC Villages
  • Added upside-down stairs (or arches)
  • Many changes to the world and lighting systems
You can get the snapshots by clicking on the links in the sidebar!

I will soon be doing a video every week for every snapshot! The snapshots are now getting shorter as Jeb is getting ready to release Minecraft 1.2!

Are you looking forward to Minecraft 1.2? Let us know in the comments!

Ciao,

Snapshot 12w07b, New Survival Series and more!

Hi minecraftians!


Mario here again with a few updates from the world of Minecraft!


So, the 7th snapshot of the year has been released! It has many more added features, including:



  • Block height increase to 256 (was 128)
  • Villagers can now repopulate the village with 'testifikids'
  • Zombie attacks on NPC Villages at night
  • Added the Redstone Lamp
  • Decreased the chance of rare mob drops even FURTHER!
  • All animals now use the new mob AI


You can get the client here, and the server here!

So, next update is the new YouTube series I am doing! It is a survival series, and the first episode is already up! Check it out below!



I am going to TRY and post one of these vids every day! It just depends how long they take to upload! I have gone back to my old recording software, Screencast-O-Matic, because my other recording softwares were lagging my game out and then speeding the vid up x2!

Anyways, I will soon be doing mod reviews as well as Survival, Server Xperience and more! I know people take quite a big fancy to the Clay Soldiers mod, which I might have tournaments with...but I would need to come up with a twist or it's not as awesome. 

Anyways, let us know in the comments what you guys think!
