New Minecraft 360 Box Art Revealed
Daniel Kaplan of Mojang just now tweeted the new cover art for the XBOX 360 version of Minecraft. We've taken a look at the upcoming console port in the past, and it is well on its way to living up to the hype of its computer-based predecessor. In addition, you can view a video released by Hat Films showing off some teasers of the game - as well as highlights of the Mojang team - by downloading it to your 360 console, or by clicking this link.
With the console release fast approaching, steady updates continuously coming out for the PC version, and a rapidly expanding pocket edition, Minecraft seems nearly unstoppable. What do you think some of the best parts of having Minecraft on the 360 will be? Tell us about it!
Stronghold 2 (by Vareide) is Out!
Earlier in the week, we had a chance to show you a video made by Minecraft legend Vareide - and now, the second installment of the series is out! Barring jokes about pigs dropping beef, the player continues his journey of self-discovery, only to run into tell-tale signs of a piece of Minecraft mythos almost as old as the game itself...

Anyway, cool boxart.
Make something with the 2x2 crafting square, like a torch, sandstone block, or anything else you can create without using the workbench, but before you click the finished object exit the inventory, which will chuck what you had in the construction grid. Immediately go back into the inventory, and the finished product is still there to be created. Click it, pick up what you were using to make it, repeat.
Works with:
Shears
Torches
Blocks (Sandstone, Brick, Stone)
Sticky Pistons
Jack O' lanterns
Dyes
Bone Meal
Wool Blocks out of string
Gold Nuggets (Free Gold!)
Basically, anything you can create with just the 2x2 grid, you can make without using up all your ingredients.
1 block = 9 objects.
I think this glitch really needs to be fixed soon...
uhm, PS3 has an interchangable hardrive, letting you put whatever hardrive space you can afford, this whole "Xbox has better graphics" does not compute, as your hardrive means nothing in terms of graphics. your just another Xbox fanboy.
Like this guy,
(The thing enables GL shaders!)
This is optional. Basically, Jeb is releasing a new feature or two every week for us to beta test.
Don't worry, once 1.2 comes out, I'm sure it will update the normal way. :smile.gif:
