1.X Updates: Nether Brick?
Jeb recently uploaded an image of the Nether, with a very interesting addition to the usual block landscape - what appears to be netherrack brick! With 1.8 having brought a sizable number of new block types, the possibility of expanding the Nether even more is exciting indeed. Will the new brick be craftable? Will it be found in pre-existing structures, built by mysterious NPCs? Will it be neither of these things, yet something more exciting still? Keep an eye out!
Maybe if the picture wasn't tiny and best viewed at a screen resolution of around 1280x960 we might see it more easily. As it is, it's a very pixelaated and tiny picture making the structure blend in fairly well with the regular pixelated stuff (In terms of construction material)
