this is the running check i do of the Mojang twitter feeds. if a set of tweets is big enough it gets its own post. when something major comes along i change the title. reardless it all goes into the OP spoilers with a datestamp of dd/Month/yy (24 Hour Clock Time) format to let you guys use it more effectivly.

feel free to discuss the tweets in here. in fact i encourage it :D

Wow... Looks awesome XP but does it melt under lava? :D and doesnt that mean we wont find it unless it snow biome?

btw nerfing enderman block carry? O.o what does endermen carrying a block even do? >.<

Edit: nvm i read all the tweets :/ not really a mob, but more of a summonable passive that throws snowballs and like a distraction to attract enemies to it :P

The thing with creepers is that they have to go up right next to you. Endermen just need to be spawned.

Releasing something? Is this a 1.8.x or an early 1.9?

I haven't been keeping up with the tweets, but I figure someone else has - and will know the answer to this question.

I think the Explanation of the hectic update schedule really speaks alot... even more so to our Player Base... *Hint Hint*
The reason we're releasing stuff so closely now is a push before the release in November! Server admins and modders(And I should add Player Base to this ~ Milo), have patience. ;)

Zombie pigmen now drop gold nuggets. With a live nether, the value of gold is going to plummet. D: Has anyone ever made a mobtower in nether?

Gold is already worthless, I'm afraid. .-.

It's worthless from a trading standpoint. Trying to acquire ten gold blocks via trading would take longer than mining the eighteen diamonds you'd need for a cuboid.

lol u mad yet?

Nope.avi

And what about clocks or wanting to use it as a building block? Or slightly faster tools?

I would love if they dropped Nether Slime that you could use with pistons, to make a Nether Sticky Piston. :D It could give off a red aura or something evil like that.

EDIT: Nether brick is the sex. I'm gonna go download the 1.9 prerelease.

Well that's good and bad. Good because it fixes the "put a rock on your spacebar" AFK workaround, bad because.. well, bunnyhopping was fun as hell.

And if you're going to keep gusta'ing things, at least find a new picture. The repetitive Sheldon "me gusta" is getting annoying man. >_<

Also, if anyone noticed at about 6:40, you can now see other players' bow action and firing. That's cool.

Woohoo! I was going to try to rush building my roof, since auto-jump speeds it along so much, but now I can take my time.
