Saddle up your pigs, everybody – the Minecraft Adventure Mode has finally arrived, and it’s time for… adventure.
Going live at aaaaany moment now, the Minecraft 1.3 update for PC adds loads of new stuff to the game, also including LAN support and villager trading, so I hope you’ve been saving up those emeralds to swap for bits of wood and rocks.
There’s a complete list of additions, fixes, and whatever else over on Reddit (here and here), but the big features of the update include:
- The game now runs an internal server in single-player mode
- The single-player server can be shared on LAN, with LAN server detection
- Made it possible to use client-side commands by enabling cheats (this is defaulted as disabled for old worlds)
- Added an optional “bonus chest” to get started quicker
- It’s now possible to trade with villagers. Added emeralds as a currency
- You gain enchantment orbs from other tasks than just destroying monsters. Max enchantment level has been decreased to 30
- Servers can automatically suggest and distribute texture packs
- Added new world map elements (does not need a new map, but they’ll only appear in new areas)
- Added cocoa beans
- Added an Ender chest
- Added tripwire
- Wooden logs can be placed sideways
Xbox players can expect the same update in, like, maybe two years or so. In the meantime, go dig some more holes. Then, when the Adventure Mode does launch for Xbox, you can go on a Hole Adventure.
