Just wondering but my friend and I are about to start minecraft (and other game) lets plays but if we at some point want to get partnership with youtube do we need to ask the permission from every game we make videos of? (ps. I'm not very good with this kind of stuff so any advice would be good)

The only thing that you should be careful with, is the music that you use.

Netherbrick half blocks will be nice... too bad we still can't make netherbricks, fences, or stairs...... so the point of half blocks is what?

Well, jeb_ plans to add a crafting recipe for Netherbrick, but he doesn't want it to be just putting Netherrack in the crafting grid so he is still thinking of a better way.

I dont know about all of you, but after seeing whats to come, as well as seeing how mojang has run minecraft in the past, i think at minecon 2013 they will releace "Minecraft 1.final" and stop updating the game (with exeption of maybe some game breaking bugs someone might find) and start to work on their other games more.

awell, Minecraft will still be my favoret game of all time, diamonds for you mojang !

I don't think the development of Minecraft will ever come to an end as long as the developers and players still have new ideas.

Netherbrick recipe?
B=Brick
N=Netherrack
N N N
B B B = 6 Netherrbrick?
N N N

[TheDevShow]

When you put Netherrack in a furnace, it should make a Nether Brick. 4, or 9 of those in the crafting bench should make Nether Brick!

[griffinkro]

how do i make my own post i need extensive help with my minecraft folder

[ThirstBuster]

I think that there should be no recipe for netherbrick. I think that visiting a Nether Fortress should stay the only way to obtain netherbrick:D
Makes netherbrick more rare.

Agreed 1+. Its about time they added nether brick slabs! perhaps netherackk slabs, too?

[Venicus]

Been a while since I checked Minecraft News. Still haven't heard of that "embedding" concept, I see.

Netherrack is designed to burn (and not bake) though, so putting it in a furnace wouldn't make sense.

[RedstoneSlime]

I heard that there making redstone more easy to use, so that might make my redstone contraptions easier make
