A new image of the new creature - commonly referred to as "Endermen" - was released recently (enhanced here, for light levels).  This image is much more up-close-and-personal than the first, giving us a good look at the new creatures.  It would seem that wearing a pumpkin prevents the new mob from seeing you, although this is unconfirmed at present.

Additionally, Notch mentioned a possible name-change for the newly minted mob, "Farlander" being suggested and, apparently, already in heavy use.

We have a poll for the creature's name,  check it out!  Response to the poll was so overwhelming that it actually overflowed what the poll was capable of storing!  We have fixed the poll - however, any previous votes will have to be re-cast.  We apologize for the inconvenience! Back to Top

Those of you familiar with the first episode of Bashcraft will be pleased to know that Episode 2 is now out!  Hobo continues on his adventure, trying to get home and put all this "being on fire" nonsense behind him, and hilarity ensues.  Take a look! Back to Top

Some time ago, we took a look at the up and coming mod, Evil Minecraft.  They have decided to release a preview version of the mod to the public, to get a taste of this massive total-conversion mod!

Evil Minecraft comes with large number of features; for example, you can craft vines that you find in the world to make a vine rope, as seen above.  The enhanced flora is complimented by an exciting list of unsettling fauna, such as dangerous boars, exploding creepigs, giant chickens and the terrifying camouflage creeper!  Dungeons have also received special attention, being much larger than their vanilla counterparts.  In addition, the game will generate vast underground temple ruins to explore.  What lies within?  What other exciting features wait to be discovered?  Get the mod here and see for yourself!

UPDATE: The original video was removed from YouTube, we were unable to find a working one from the creator, but we did find the one above which shows the same creation. Just beware that the above video is NOT from the creator.

Minecraft Forums user PG-5 has submitted a video of his latest creation. It uses the power of pistons to create a game reminiscent of Audio Surf in which the player must dodge a constant stream of blocks, or suffer the consequences!

The game is quite addicting, and the penalty of a fiery death is ample motivation to succeed!

You can find a download link the Youtube Video Description located here.

Sometimes, a creation in Minecraft is simply breathtaking. This is one of them. Conundrumer has designed a working Rubik's cube in Minecraft, and has even solved it!

This is quite an accomplishment when each rotation takes 5 seconds. He explains how the contraption was created at the end of the video, however, reader beware; it's quite advance.

[Forum Post]

UPDATE: Conundrumer has mentioned that his is not the first Rubik's cube to be made, and that forum user Openarl was in fact the first. You can check out his video here.

Today's Digital Diamond was submitted by rivu69 and teapoted2 - a working game of Monopoly!  Featuring automated moving pieces, a working dice roller, a functioning money-keeping system using sand as currency, and four-player support, this juggernaut of a board game is something to see.  The authors take some time out to explain some of the intricacies of the board's inner-workings, and even provide a companion video to explain some of the mechanics in detail.  Enjoy!
