This week on Minecraft News, Toby and David cover a number of recent hot topics, such as bringing on new Mojang staff, a quick peek at the 360 version of Minecraft, details on this weeks' Snapshot, with focus on changes to cat behavior, villager AI, and a pleasant surprise change to lava! Additionally, the randomly-generated mineshafts scattered throughout the world appear to have received a visit from safety officials - they now generate with wooden flooring where gaps would have been in prior terrain generation, whether small potholes, or much larger gaps.

Shapeways 3D Printout Contest

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9lOARcv8hU" target="_blank"><img src="http://media.minecraftforum.net/content/images/2012/02/ms3d2.png" border="0" alt=""></a>

Did you read this article about 3D printing models from Minecraft and think to yourself, "I wish I could get one of those"? I know the feeling - it seems like there is an endless stream of possible models to print from my SSP games alone, nevermind any servers I play on. Still, for those of you looking for a 3D printout model of your creations, we have a sweepstakes that might be just what you're looking for - winners can receive, at no cost, a 3D printed model of their Minecraft creations, as well as $50 certificates for Shapeways, perfect for discounting larger projects, or outright buying smaller ones, like character models or small structures. Want to know more? Click the image above for details!

[MrTheKing77]

Win a printer wtf

[skippy369]

Awwwww yeah~!

[Virus4U]

AWSOME I cant wait for the update

[Greldin]

Option 1: There is genuinely nothing happening in the world of Minecraft and writers are being pressured for articles so 3D printing is a good one to milk for content.
Option 2: The 3D printing company is owned by someones brother/friend/pen pal/aunt, or pays for these articles.

In any case, surely no news is better than 3D printing news at this stage?

[Rilinator]

The reason they don't embed the video and make it a link is so they get more views on you tube, they just want money.....

[tuti05]

i dont care at all about this 3d printing, it looks bad and the torches are awful

[Dwarf Lord Azzurruk]

im more interested to know what they are doing to lava ?
i mean there isnt much to lava, its hot and flows and turns hard when you add water ??

[Iamacreeper2468]

:mellow: I hope they will make a PS3 and Wii U version :mellow:

[raptormouse]

Finally some AI improvements!

Still no Minrcraft PS3...

This curse crap is really ruining the minecraft forums. I would rather have no news than non-minecraft game news.

[Kratox]

Very good, finally those stupid villagers gained some intelligence.

[Mjbjenkins]

I think skeletons should be afraid of dogs now, since creepers are afraid of cats.

[minecrafter1134]

I hope that man was joking about giving creepers the ability to open doors.
