The adventure update is going great! We're adding features and cramming in content, and then started feature creeping and content creeping. What we've got on our hands now is somewhere in between a finished Adventure Mode update and a version of the game we'd be proud to call just “Minecraft”. Not “Minecraft Beta” or “Minecraft Alpha”, but just plain and simple “Minecraft”.
And we're going to release that version of the game live on stage in Vegas at MineCon! Woooo!
Up until then, instead of trying to squeeze in another real release, we're going to do weekly (or so) pre releases, aimed at advanced players. We release these via twitter, so make sure to follow me (@notch) and Jens (@jeb_) if you're interested in those.
Also, we're finally adding a dragon.
I learned of a way to post news instantly. expect this to happen a lot more! ^^
How do you do that? o_O I hate having to wait a day or so for moddb admins to post my news D:
Awesome man, I remember seeing some news posts up on those MC forums, but then it would show up here a couple days, up to the very latest about a week later.
Good to hear, Kizzy!
How??? I need to know!
xD Good to know that Kizzy!
Thanks Kizzy, for supplying us with the news you have this week. Really appreciate it.
Yes, but will it blend?
cannot blend software, unless you want a powdered HDD.
nice!
But we still get the next update right? I want my snow back before the final release...
So... 1.9 will not be Beta anymore? Notch is releasing Minecraft? I wonder what hidden things he has got there but didn't show us because he wants to surprise people at Vegas.
I saw this when it popped up on Tumblr! I was psyched.
Is it just me, or do other people also find the dragons looking completely retarded?
Oh well, more is better, I guess.
Dragons are going to be awesome :D
And when will the darn boats in SMP be fixed? D:
DRAAAAAAAAAAGON!!!!
