Minecraft Snapshot 13w13a Unlikely - It’s GDC!
Posted in
minecraftThe end of March is a busy week for gamers what with GDC in San Francisco and PAX East taking place in Boston. We know that Dinnerbone and most of Mojang are flying to California for GDC so it's unlikely that they'll release 13w13 this week. Even if we get a snapshot, I'm afraid it's likely to be bug fixes rather than new 1.6 features.
So, with Mojang off to the United States it's over to 4JStudios to impress us with update 9 for Minecraft Xbox Edition. They've just confirmed that TU9 was sent to Microsoft for certification testing. That can take a week (or two) to get approved but it won't be long and we'll have some excellent new additions including some new tunes from C418!
Minecraft Xbox TU9 - Main Features
- The End - with new layout and new Enderdragon behaviour
- Climbable vines - an important addition an any adventure!
- Spawn eggs added
- Fire charge effect added
- Item frames added
- New slab and plank variations
- New music for The End and The Nether from C418
- Craftable recipe changes for signs, half slabs and stone button. Basically, more items for less ingredients.
- Terrain generator now creates beaches
- Improved load/save time
- New tutorials for The End and animal breeding
- Lots of bug fixes
As always, we'll let you know as soon as the update is ready to download.
