Less than two months after getting its official 1.0 release, Minecraft is getting another update this week, to version 1.1. The update adds a few fun features to the game: sheep that now eat grass and will re-grow their wool, enhanced bows, apples that fall from trees ("Newton would be proud," the video announcing the update says), and different-colored eggs for spawning pigs and other animals. New languages might be the most important change, though: Minecraft now supports German, French, and Swedish translations. (And Pirate.) That's a lot of new stuff to turn into 3D printables, or some new things to add to the entire level of Super Mario you built. Or, failing all that, it's just some fun new stuff to play with in the giant world of Minecraft.

Awesome now I can waste away even more hours of my life…. In Swedish… Although I can’t actually speak Swedish.

I don’t think I’ve spent more time in any other game. One year on and I still play MC.

MW3 would be close for time robbing (38 hours so far… don’t tell my other half!)

Uhg I can’t stand that game. Black Ops is so much better.

Agreed Black Ops is by far the best COD but it’s full of hackers now… K/D ratio of around 0.00001

I assumed that was some sort of Minecraft in-joke.

Pirate Speak for the win!
I wish we could select to use the Pirate Speak font with other languages as well.

I haven’t ever actually played Minecraft, but that video is possibly the most random thing I’ve ever watched…

If you take a close look at 0:03 in the video you notice that the intros have bugs :)
PS: the bug is the creature under the number

That’s a lot of new content for two months of work by a developer.

Next time I can piss away money on fun stuff, I’m buying Minecraft. It seems like a cool game. I didn’t see a demo… which kind of sucks.

Is there anyway to try out Minecraft without paying for it until your certain you want it? I tried Minecraft classic but it wont load in GoogleChrome on my brand new MacBook. Am I doing something wrong?
Posted on Jan 15, 2012 | 6:19 PM EST reply Recommend Flag actions
I’m playing the full game, not the classic free one, but I’m pretty sure this still applies. The game doesn’t run on a browser, it runs as a standalone game. Is this what you’re asking?

Sad this is on the verge…

I’m sure it will be on Vox Games/whatever the name will be when it launches.
