I’m going to pretend that you didn’t just see the wordMinecraftand boot the game up, knowing full well what I am about to write.
Indeed, version 1.5 is live. Quite the day for this release to fall on, what withMortal KombatandPortal 2both being as excellent as they are.Minecraftnow does weather effects, achievements, statistics (don’t look at these, unless you want to feel tremendous amounts of shame), and more.
The achievements are limited right now,with more on the way, but they currently seem like a great guiding force for players who haven’t bothered to learn crafting. Also, now that there are storms, pigs can be struck by lighting. In a totally metal twist, this occurrence results in them morphing into zombie pigmen.
