AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I tried making a texture pack at one point.

Then the Halloween Update hit and I was like "fuck this shit".

So now I usually stay with painterly or the default.

I hate high-res texture packs.

That kind of ruins the ENTIRE POINT.

So I'm using a seed called "Nightfall" it's another one of those islands, but there's a huge cave in the center. Had to kill my self twice to refill my hunger though.

It was about nerfing Endermen's block pickups.

GATHER AROUND, MINECRAFT ADDICTS. KOMODOENSIS IS ON A NEWS SPREE ABOUT 1.9. WELL, NOT REALLY A NEWS "SPREE," JUST HE'S FOUND SOME COOL SHIT, AND NO ONE HAS MENTIONED IT YET.

So, after all these amazing natural structures implemented into 1.8, those being the Mines and Strongholds and Villages, Mojang has begun working on a new natural structure to make Komo think about where the shit all this stuff came from and eventually think of a story he's been contemplating on making..

Introducing, NETHER RUINS.
WOAH WOAH WOAH. SO NOW THERE ARE FORTRESSES, MADE OUT OF THE BLOOD ENCRUSTED EARTH THAT THE NETHER IS MADE OUT OF, AND THAT IS PRETTY COOL.
I am presuming that Nether Ruins/Fortresses will be home to the Zombie Pigman, due to my speculations on Pigmen being the villagers for, well, the Villages.

Also, we have a confirmed new biome, an "Infected Mushroom Forest." Check out the leaked picture.

So it seems that grass has now a very gray and brown blotched texture, like spores have slowly killed and eaten away at the plantlife. Also, there seems to be some natural Giant Mushrooms... and A FUCKING INFECTED COW HOLY FAFSDGSERNGIHERSARHRTERT.
Meet the "MooShroom." A common cow infected with parasitic Red Mushrooms, found only in mushroom biomes. Also, you can shear the mushrooms off, according to Notch.

There are also a few other confirmed things, such as, well, snow coming back, breeding animals, NPC Villages won't spawn all wonky and retarded. Abandoned Mine Shafts might be getting tweaked a bit. Something about skills may be implemented, that's still a bit unsure of. And, of course, NPC's should be in the update.
Also, there may be Volcanos in our near future.

Well, I guess this wasn't a huge spree of news about 1.9. I guess you could call it, a decent sized... BLOCK, of news. Hardeeharhar.

i like this

sweet, thanks Komo.

It's not a problem. I'll try and hunt down information about any new things to be added in Minecraft when it happens.

minecraft keeps getting scarier and trippier

used to just have stone and dirt and stuff. now we've got magic red dust that powers machines, all sorts of ghouls, alternate dimensions and crazy fungis-cows

I hope this trend continues

Someone said infected mushroom?

How 'bout that Terraria?

But man I'm actually really excited for this, finally heading into the corruption in Terraria was one of my favorite moments in the game. This should bring my fun times with Minecraft up to par.
