You might be wondering what changed when Minecraft graduated out of beta and into a real game last week. Ahead of the game’s official Friday launch, Notch said the big boy version would include some “VERY minor tweaks” to the previous release candidate, but it turns out there was quite a bit more to it than that.
According to the Minecraft Wiki, there are loads of fixes, changes, new features in version 1.0.0, most significantly including a proper endgame sequence, hardcore mode, and, um, a “love mode” for animal procreation.
The complete list includes:
- A proper ending to the game in a realm called “The End”.
