Minecraft creator Markus Persson (AKA Notch) has been tweeting today about additions coming very soon in version 1.9 . We are expecting NPCs (other characters!) to be added to the currently vacant villages, and Notch has announced that there will also be Snowmen:
Not only will you be able to make snowmen, but just like the classic childrens story, they will come to life and protect you against the giant spiders and zombies that want to kill you. Ok, so not exactly like the story but you get the picture. The snowmen will leave trails of snow, and throw snowballs at enemies – finally players won’t be so alone at night!
All in all, the build up to the non-beta release Minecraft 2.0 is looking pretty exciting, filling out the world with lots more to see and do. You can download the game client here, and until the game is out of beta, the account required to play the game has a 25% discount, which is a bargain.
