Looks nice
Though I start to dislike all these updates so fast.

I can't even play a nice game with my mods before it updates and I am modless again

Something to take into consideration when you are playing a game that is still in Beta. Notch set himself a deadline of 11/11/11 and I would expect he wants to keep it.

Isn't that skyrim? [sorry]

I know it's a beta and it's not bad that he releases updates fastly.
It's just a personal annoyance. Eventually the mods will be updates as well and new features are always fun though.

Both are. Thats a date to remember. Skyrim and Minecraft, official releases! :O

 

[E-Penguin]

Alright.

Though it does kinda render the compass useless.

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to switch between them.

Although that depend whether the map constantly moves with you, or if it "jumps" from picture to picture.

Notch receives the same payment as the employees. The rest of their money are piling up inside some bank account where they can take money out whenever they need it.

So why was I quoted in that text? I never said anything about his pay check.

 

[dsmops2003]

That is an awesome addition to the game. I wish it would come out now so i can get back to my base.

 

[TStormer]

This is going to be awesome for the Yogcast.

 

[DaHero]

Nice addition. This will make things more fun.

Kudos to the developer to. I guess he is taking things up a Notch

Where is the CSI: Miami moment? =(

Fairly certain a ton of movies, games and everything else imaginable will be coming out on that date. I'd almost put money on the fact we'll see a Call of Duty.

I'm so glad I got this when it was only £9.

Not another Call of Duty! Dx
yeah, it's true about everything coming out then but the only one which I actually remembered (or actually heard of being released then) was Skyrim.
Guess I missed that Minecraft was being released then too.

I'm damn excited about Uncharted 3 which should be out around that time as well. Mass Effect 3 is also in the pipes for that time of year and Battlefield 3. It wont be a slow Christmas for AAA releases.

THANK FUCK!!!

*ahem*

Sorry, getting lost was a really annoying issue for me. I am very pleased to see this.

 

[Arcanist]

Cool! This means I can go explore as freely as I wish without fear of getting lost. I approve!

... It's not like he broke cartographer completely with that saving change update.

Wonder how maps in the nether work.

Not well I hear. The cartography has really gone to hell.

OTL Is it just me, or does he seem to be faster with these patches now.

It's his team that makes most of them. He just gets all the credit and cash.

...

Are you suggesting that Notch doesn't pay the employees at his company?

Lol, he doesnt own Mojang, he's just the only thing that's keeping it running.

 

[Bigsmith]

Has he posted on twitter that you may be able to hang the maps on the wall, but it's being a little tricky to program in.

Over all this is sweet. Liking the idea that the middle of the map will be where you make it and will be blank when you make it. As you move around it updates and if any changes are made to the scenery the map doesn't automatically update unless you or anyone you have linked the map up with does there.

This is a good day.

"Mojang (mojäng being Swedish for gadget) is a Swedish, independent video game developer founded in May 2009 under the name Mojang Specifications by Markus Persson."

 

[Judgement101]

Quite charming indeed. This may respark my minecraft life.

 

[k-ossuburb]

I'm just going to say it.

How long before we see someone with a modded skin that looks like a Pip-Boy?

 

[Cid Silverwing]

Am I the only one who thinks this particular map looks like a dodgy Minecraft Europe?

Also, center map looks suspiciously like a penis.
