Minecraft adventure update

  
Some of you may already know but notch and jens have been releasing information steadily about the new update so I thought I would give a little list of what has been added so far to the future update.

First off the Ravine's and the new Lighting update will be added in 1.8.

New things that are being added are:

Giant mushrooms and npc villages (randomly generated villages with Ai people)
Full size image Here












Randomly generated dungeons with what seems to be 4 new block types that look like Stone brick, cracked stone brick, mossy stone brick and iron bars









New bigger biomes (i assume that there will be a new biome or two as well not just bigger biomes-may be wrong-)

A new (scary) mob

Sprinting, Notch hasn't decided on the drawbacks of sprinting yet.

Critical hits

More farming options (hasn't given details on what)

Fully working Creative Mode (and individual admins can enter Creative Mode on a Survival Mode server if they choose)

Also mod support(i will be looking forward too)
Here's to a steady stream of information by notch giving in to his urges!

Aether Prieview


The aether is a mod ive been looking forward to for a good few months now and up until recently i haven't really seen any videos of it.

For those who do not know what it is the best way to put it would be the opposite to the nether...that is way...way more impressive.

It has so many new things and also includes new better dungeons that have different trails bosses and a different look, there are 3 types bronze silver and gold
Bronze are small cave like entrances
 Silver are huge Roman like temples floating in the air
And gold are the most impressive they are there own island spherical in design covered in trees sort of like Laputa.

here are to many features for me to list so either check out the below videos or check out the forum page also below

There are 2 recently released videos by "PaperBatVG"


Which can be found...oh seems there are 3 videos now

Mo creatures and more creeps and weirdos

Im sure these have been reviewed a million times before but i am going on the assumption that no one reading this has modded much...if you have sorry!

Right! first off a small comparison more creeps is more of a fantasy mob addition adding things such as hunchbacks that summon skeletons when you feed them cake,robot's and many more
And mo'creatures adds more
real mobs such as sharks bears fox's etc but also has quite a few good fantasy mobs :D

Both of these mods together can be a bit overwhelming unless you fiddle with the spawn amounts of the creatures although having a shit-ton  of new mobs is fun for a few minutes it quickly gets boring so i would advise turning the spawn rate down quite a bit

Both these mods add A LOT to the game so is very good for people growing bored of the vanilla minecraft plenty of new things to do but doesnt stop you from playing the game :D

Yogbox is out

There may be some issues with mods causing lag as it is the first version but this is a really good and easy way for people who haven't tried mods to do so now as it doesnt require any tampering yourself you just run the jar file and an installer comes up and you can select what mods you wish to use
Download link can be found here:

For any one who follows their minecraft series there is a nice secret waiting for you in the game ;)
