Mojang has been busy at PAX all weekend, and we have been bringing you some pretty awesome updates on all things Minecraft going on there. So, what's going on today, you ask? EvilSeph has reminded us that there is a Minecraft Panel going on today, at 4:30 pm, PST! Be sure to check out the panel - if you're not at PAX today, you can watch it live, on the PAX Twitch channel - click here to check it out!
Not enough Minecraft to whet your appetite? How about this: Notch has announced that Minecraft's "Adventure Update" will be playable on the show floor! The expansion, which is currently heavily in development, will add more than 40 new features in the sandbox blockbuster, such as NPC villages, additional farming activities, and randomly-generated dungeons!
Keep an eye out for more updates to Minecraft, PAX and more, right here!

Notch's Beard is At Stake!
Speaking of awesome things related to Penny Arcade; a few weeks ago, QubeTubers hosted a popular charity event, which was frequented by nearly every major Minecraft personality in existence, including a number of Mojangsters! The drive is still going on through today, and has cleared an impressive $70,000 in donations for the Child's Play charity! However, there is an extra prize for clearing that $75,000 mark:
Notch will shave his beard.
That's right - if the QubeTuber's Charity Event clears $75,000 before the event ends, Notch will shave his beard off.
So, if you want to help out the most awesome children's charity ever AND see Notch sans beard, be sure to head over to the QubeTuber's Child's Play Charity Event - there's less than $5,000 to go for a beardless Notch, and countless children will see the benefit of your generosity. Check it out!
Maybe thats how he codes so fast.
Why would they put a mod in vanilla? Besides the Aether is for Minecraft 1.2.5 anyway...
You mean like pistons, baby animals, maps on walls, and upside down & corner stairs? What else am I missing here that used to be done by mods but is now in vanilla Minecraft?
Uhh what I meant was why would they put a PC minecraft mod into xbox vanilla? They would do it for the PC first if they were to do that.
One of the things discussed in the panel was that the XBox version (indeed all of the various platforms) are going to have different development paths. Just because it shows up on the PC doesn't mean it will necessarily ever be in the other versions, and there may very well be new content neither found in a mod (pretty hard to beat... there are so many mods doing so many different things) nor in the PC version that will be found in the XBox version or even the pocket PC.
You're not getting my point...
(still need to work on the mouth a bit)
compared to the original:
Oh that is scary. Im scared what it will be in real life.
He nees a beard. Its just part of him.
What did you use to make that banner thing?
My signature? I got it icecoldtiger2 made it for me. Have a look in the fan art section of the forums, you can find shops there where people can make you signatures, avatars, stuff like that.
and he will need a wig so no one knows
