C418's Minecraft Volume Beta

After 3 years at work, C418 has created the long awaited Minecraft Volume Beta. Being the second Minecraft music album, it has an incredibly dramatic and even haunting feel, as the player navigates his way in to the terryfying Nether, or have the epic fight with the Ender Dragon.

The album contains a whopping number of 30 songs, ranging from 1 min 30 sec to 15 min (my gawd, the longest song I've created was only 1 min 10 sec).

Minecraft Volume Beta is available on Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon and Google Play. Or you can do it the illegal way and get the album on some pirated website, but that ain't my problem because I'm getting the album on iTunes.

If Dumb Minecrafters Coded MC 1.8

The Update that Changed the World (Minecraft 1.7) has came out quite a few weeks back, with some notable features. But what could 1.8 possibly have to offer? This is the list of horrible things Dumb Minecrafters will do to everyone's favourite video game if we were to code MC 1.8*.

1. BIGGER VILLAGES AND CRAZIER VILLAGERS

In 1.8, villagers will be able to teabag like Steve, get crazy (by randomly spinning their heads like lunatics) and will drop what their trading when you kill them. Players would be able to hold villagers with a lead by their noses.

There would also be small (and legit) trading centres and mass destruction structures that will blow up the dumb village. In addition, Ghast will spawn above the village.

2. CONTROLS CHANGE EVERY SECOND WHILE USING KEYBOARD,  SO HAVE TO USE "MINECRAFT CONTROLLER" TO PLAY INSTEAD

In order to stop people from using their keyboards to play Minecraft, while using a keyboard to play MC, keyboard controls change every second.

To solve the problem, you will have to buy a "Minecraft Controller'' to play the game, which will costs only US$199999999999.99 on Amazon, with a 0.000001% discount during the 1st week after official release of the "Minecraft Controller"(which will spoil in 3 days).



3. PAY US$999999999.99 EVERY MONTH OF HEROBRINE IN SINGLEPLAYER + MULTIPLAYER

Read the title...WE WANT MONEY



*This is just a joke. We don't mean to offend Mojang. Notch and Jeb and other Mojang employees are great people, not greedy idots like us, so yeah.

LIKE A BOSS: HOLIDAY SEASON 2013!!!

Waddup guys! School just finally ended 20 minutes ago and so I am here, to announce that Dumb Minecrafters is having holiday season special!

From 1 December onwards, we will have badass Minecraft specials and other stuff, so stay tuned!

Minecon 2013: 2 Day's of Minecraft Craze

It's finally here. 2 amazing days of Minecraft (and also Cobalt and Scrolls) update hints and talks and activities with the most famous people of Minecraft.

This year, Minecon 2013 is currently held at Orlando, Florida, USA, ironically the same place where a father scapegoated Minecraft for influences his son into bringing weapons to school. How ridiculously stupid. The annual event started yesterday (2 November) and will end today (3 November).

You can catch a live stream of Day 2 of Minecon 2013 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRe9HVIKRwE tonight. Let's see how it will go!

Minecraft 1.7 Review

Update Rating: 7/10

Overall Review
1.7 contains amazing new features which enhances the experience while exploring worlds, building in creative mode and using commands, but is a bit laggy and glitchy, which disappoints us a little.

Here are some of our favourite new features in 1.7-

Mesa Biome
A beautiful but rare biome that is made out of red sand and six colours different clay with the occasional cacti here and there...and dead bushes. Definitely a good place to find clay.




Roofed Forest Biome
A dense Dark Oak Forest with leaves blocking the sunlight, and mushrooms and large mushrooms in the vicinity. This place is so awfully dark even hostile mobs can spawn in daylight. My goodness.

/summon
1.7 introduces the craziest command in the history of Minecraft. The moment you type /summon (entity name e.g. Creeper), the mob will automatically spawn in your face.

You can even summon Giants (which were hidden in the code for eternity), and the Ender Dragon into the overworld. Now that's over-powered. You can type in the XYZ coordinates behind the command to spawn the mob at a certain area (e.g. 10~10~10)

The other features introduced in 1.7 are in the list below in general

+ Added lots of new biomes!
+ Added “AMPLIFIED” world type
