  Coal in Minecraft sucks! 

  Those that play Minecraft or have played at least once and have explored a cave or two know about coal.. The gray block spotted with blackness, yeah, that’s coal.. Though coal is extremely useful, it is also extremely annoying and distracting! I’d like to see one person, an avid Minecraft player, try to tell me that when they first start a world they don’t grab every piece of coal they can get

  Minecraft 1.9 Prerelease 2 Released! 

  It is finally here! Surprisingly, not too long after 1.9 Prerelease 1 was released.

  What’s New/Changed?

  • Ender pearls will now teleport you in hardcore or survival mode
  • You can now bread animals of the same type (i.e. a pig and a pig) using wheat)
  • New music disks
  • Hardcore mode added – save as survival, but you only have one life and can’t respawn if you die
  • Pressing F5 goes into third person view, pressing it again shows you a front third person view
  • Cinematic view (F8) has returned
  • New items
  • New inventory-related things
  • If you have two weapons/items that are about to “break”, you can place them both in a crafting bench and you will get a repaired item
  • Enderman cannot be killed with any bow

  Minecraft Beta 1.9 Prerelease available 

  With 1.8.1 being released not too long ago, I was very surprised to find that Beta 1.9.1 Prerelease was available for download and test. This prerelease doesn’t have that many new things but some is always better than none, right?

  Also, before I get to what has changed, been added, etc. – I must say to not even bother downloading this update if you like your game to be lag free, as it can lag heavily from time to time.

  Change Log:
  - Swamp biomes will be generated
  - Water now has a “swampy” feel to it if found in the respective biome
  - Vines become swampy if by swamp water
  - Jumping by holding the space bar is disabled (but will be brought back in the next update, according to Notch on Twitter)
  - NPC’s; though they don’t seem to actually do anything besides walk around

  Other than that, I don’t really think that anything else was added or otherwise changed.
