Pax Update

Notch was livestreaming some people playing minecraft at PAX:

Some things I have noticed:

- Holding right mouse button with a bow in your hand will slowly retract the bow

- Enderman die in water

- NPC villages don't have NPC's (yet)

- In creative mode, double tapping space will let you fly

- There will be a in-game inventory editor in creative mode

- Double tapping "w" will let you sprint

- Clouds are higher in the sky, but the hight limit has not increased

- You cant instantly eat food but as notch calls it, you can "Nom Nom Nom" it

- You can pick up experience points from mobs you kill

PigTales Revealed

The true story behind the whole Pig Tales phenomenon has been revealed.
 
     It's purpose is the selling of a Minecraft Themed Socks Pack. It costs 30€ and fits "everyone". (size 36 to 46).
   
The video is here.

PAX 2011 is starting today! (26 Aug - 28 Aug )


    If you're lucky enough to be able to go there, don't forget to check out mojang's "HQ" on the 6th floor.

 The shedule for mojang is here.

  Notch already did some live bugfixing, and a demo of 1.8 will be there for you to try.

 P.S: If you see a USB Stick there, send it to my office. No, there's not the Adventure Update in it. Really.

Critical State

   This blog is in a critical state. It is "stopped" for weeks now. We are loosing crucial readers, and visitors, and it seems that our efforts are going nowhere. 
   
This made me realize that in this kind of business, you don't need just dedication, experience and will. You need a lot of luck. 
   
Take yogscast as an example, they just did a minecraft tutorial video, and Boom! Even myself, started playing minecraft because of them. I'm not saying they're lucky. Yes, they're better than most of us. But they don't have half of the dedication, and will I have right now. That is why I'm here writing this as of now, and they are probably having some fun talking to their fans or playing on adventure maps. 
    
And also, I'm sorry for the blog "hibernation", but I'm doing as much as I can to revive it. Check out the pages we got, they have some good information too.


    We thank you, from our hearts, for taking the time to read this, comment, and maybe tweet it, or publish it someway. 
   You make us keep doing this. And feel important. Yeah. :-)

Pig Tales!

The mojang team have been tweeting about something called "pig tales".

  The link in the tweets leads to this:   Pig Tales

    In the website they say they are trying to figure out what those pigs are talking about, and that more information will be revealed Agust 26th. Also, you can make your own script.

   Sounds.... Interesting.
