Download Minecraft 1.4 & View full feature list

The official 'Scary Update' (Minecraft 1.4) is now available to download from Mojang. This is the final version of Minecraft 1.4, released a week early. Primarily intended for mod developers and server admins, but perfectly acceptable for everyone because it's still the official version!

If you've been following the Minecraft snapshots over the last month or two, you'll know that Minecraft 1.4 is crammed full of lovely features. All based around a scary theme (for Halloween), we've got the awesome Wither mob, the decorative zombie heads, flying bats, treacherous witches and so much more!

Minecraft 1.4 Feature List

Wither boss mob
Paintable armour
Clonable maps
Potato and golden carrot crops
Wither skeleton mob
Command block (for adventure maps)
Beacon block
Item frames
Flower pots
Cobblestone walls

As this is a major version (not a snapshot) it's relatively bug free. Server admins can start hosting Minecraft 1.4 servers and mod developers can crack on with dishing out some fantastic mods. You can all now prepare for Minecraft 1.5 - the redstone update!
