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!
Looks interesting, I hope it's a per-existing structure with possible treasure inside. And hostile enemies. While the introduction of the Nether has always confused me, this is a nice addition.
I think it will surpass it.
Im expecting something to make minecraft absolutely BEAST with everythang they added onto in 1.8 and even more awesome sauce that they will ad in 1.9.
For balancing reasons, i hope they make something to heal you instantly, or a two different modes of survival, normal and HARDCORE (normal being with pre 1.8 health system, the combat and other stuff can stay :3)
Notch released a screenshot of a mushroom cow, which looks rather hilarious.
you don't see the giant-ass structure that goes straight up and is made of bricks? wow
