Notch has announced, in the form of the above picture, that baby animals will soon be added to Minecraft, making the animal breeding process that much more realistic. Minecraft baby animals will have tiny bodies but adorably oversized heads – much like human babies, except with more bacon.
Just days ago, Minecraft version 1.9 was pre-released, well now the second version of Minecraft 1.9 has been released, and it features a whole lot of new items and changes to gameplay, including animal breeding, glass bottles, a whole new music suite, and much more!

Well the Minecraft 1.9 Pre-Release is out and much sooner than any of us (ie, me) expected. It’s an exciting release, with the most notable addition being NPC villagers in the game. Let’s start with them and move onto the other interesting additions like snow golems, new marsh biomes, lily pads, and netherblocks later on.

1.9 includes:
The secret of the latest new official Minecraft mob is out, and guess what? It’s a suicidal snowman. Seriously. The cute little snowman shown in the picture above will playfully throw snowballs at whatever comes near it, including creepers and spiders, which then turn on it and attack it. The snowman mob will be craftable, so you can build your own snowmen in minecraft. Don’t get too attached to your little snow friend though, they seem to have very short lifespans by design. If they’re not taunting dangerous mobs to attack them, they’re melting in hotter biomes. On the plus side, they do spread snow as they walk, so you should find it relatively easy to track them on their journey of self-destruction.
EDIT: Notch, in all his notchiness, has decided that they should be called snow golems, probably on account of the fact that you create them from inanimate matter and breathe life into them mysteriously.
Want to feel nostalgia for something you’ve probably only been playing for a year or so? This video detailing all the exciting changes from INdev to Minecraft 1.8 will do it.
Just one of the many delights awaiting anyone waiting for the official 1.8 Adventure Update…
The Minecraft 1.8 pre-release is here, and it is far more beautiful than I had been lead to believe, with some shiny new options even the most excitable and rabid Mniecraft pundits didn’t see coming. Here’s a run down of all the new stuff I’ve found in the Minecraft 1.8 pre-release, which includes two distinct game modes (creative and survival), field of vision settings and mobs that run away when you try to kill them for food.

Mojang has leaked the 1.8 update in the form of the new minecraft.jar, which can be installed along with the terrain.png and items.png files I featured here on the blog. This is basically a pre-release for anyone smart enough to be able to swap a new minecraft.jar into their existing install.
This sweet, sweet official Minecraft 1.8 trailer from the Hat guys should take the edge off the disappointment you feel when you learn that Minecraft 1.8 (the firstening) probably won’t be out by the 8th of the month.
