Minecraft - 9 Million Sales, and Counting
_________________________________

That's right, the PC version of Minecraft has surpassed 9 million sales! Minecraft as a game continues to have a phenomenal level of success, with humble beginnings in the hands of Mojang founding member Markus "Notch" Persson, and growing over a period of years into one of the most successful indie game titles in gaming history. In addition, the recent changes to Minecraft in 1.4.7 - and future changes planned the game, including Mod API support, more adventure map options, and all sorts of customization options, including the highly anticipated Redstone Update - Mojang continues to push the game to new heights, even as they get involved in the community, with everything from direct-feedback bug fixing to real-life renewal projects.



Pocket Edition Update 0.6.0 Now Submitted
_________________________________

That's right, a new update for Pocket Edition was recently submitted! It can take up to a week before the update becomes available for iOS or Android, so don't worry if you don't get it right away! Some of the changes include:

New features:
  • Signs
  • Armor
  • Baby animals
  • Fancy clouds
  • Improved D-pad
  • Stonecutter for crafting stone blocks
  • Sheep can be colored with dyes
  • New block types: Netherrack, Nether Brick, Block of Quartz with 2 variants (pillar and chiseled), mossy/cracked Smooth Stone Brick variants (creative only), chiseled/smooth Sandstone variants
  • New stairs: Nether Brick, Sandstone, Smooth Stone Brick, Quartz
  • New slabs: Sandstone
  • New item: Nether Brick (smelted from netherrack and crafted into nether brick tile)
  • Upside-down stairs, corner stairs
  • Slabs can be placed in up position (needs testing on small screens)
  • Sand and Gravel are affected by gravity

    Tweaks:

  • Recipes for crafting slabs give 6 slabs instead of 3 (as in PC version)
  • Nether Reactor spawns Netherrack blocks instead of Obsidian
  • The fog and sky color have changed
  • The Nether Reactor now spawns more items
  • Cows drop Leather

    Bug fixes:

  • Melons had several bugs where they would spawn too fast and where they shouldn’t


Notice for Android users: Starting with this update, Minecraft Pocket Edition will require Android 2.3 or later. This means we no longer support Android 2.1 or 2.2, but you will still be able to play older versions of Minecraft Pocket Edition.

Of course, you know what this all means don’t you.  With increased popularity comes increased responsibility and demands.  With that many subscribers, the pressure continues to increase to produce a quality fun product.  ...

Are you subscribing to this? You know you only have to pay for it once, right? It isn't WOW you know. :)

10 million will definitely be a milestone.

That's true :)

Also, I thought it would be nice for people to check this out! This is from the Christmas of 2012, and this is a bar graph of sales for Minecraft, Minecraft Pocket Edition, and Minecraft Xbox 360!

Yay! Nine million sales! Now it ill be alost impossible to hate on Minecraft without being ridiculed! Also, yay! Pocket Edition updates! I am really glad that you don't have to smelt the cobble to get smooth stone. I think that for the Pocket Edition they should increase the world size by one chunk every update.
