Minecraft 1.2.2 Released
When Minecraft finally had an official release, we were promised plenty of updates, and Mojang is more than happy to oblige. The latest patch has been released, and is adding a number of interesting new features. And rather than simply tell you about all of the new stuff, they have released a video showcasing virtually all of the additions. Give it a watch below.
Now that you’re back, and you’ve had time to “ooh” and “aah” over the golems, cats, and other interesting tidbits, you can see a full list of the exact changes. They are as follows:
- New jungle biome
- Added ocelots
- Added cats
- Added iron golems
- New AI for mobs
- Tame wolves can have puppies
- Villagers will have children if there is room in their village
- New map height limit (256 instead of 128)
- New items and blocks
- Doors have been updated so that double-doors work better with redstone
- Added rare drops for mobs
- Many other minor tweaks and fixes
That’s right, we’re all thinking pretty much the same thing right now. We can finally be cat people in the game, as well as in real life. A virtual case of “art imitates life.” If you haven’t grabbed it already, you should. The current version is 1.2.2, as a minor update was released shortly after, adding in birch and pine trees, which were missing.
