NEW GAME! NEW GAME! NEW GAME! Yes, a whole new game from Mojang! I’m so excited I could pass out, if I didn’t have an article to finish. You can read more about Minecraft: Dungeons here!
ADDITIONAL ADD-ONS
Add-ons! They’re a great way to modify Minecraft and you can learn more about them here. Jason Major shared some exciting news about how add-ons are being updated to give you even more control over your Minecraft! Previously, add-ons only allowed you to modify existing mobs in the game, but with New Entities you can add more mobs. You can use Data Driven Spawning to control which mobs spawn in your worlds. Animations will give you more customisation options, so you’ll be able to craft the horrifying eight-legged mob of your dreams/our nightmares. Particles will let you pretty up your mobs with cool effects. All of these features are on the way and you can try them in the Minecraft beta on October 3rd.

Plus! Scripting API is now closer than ever. We know a lot of players have been asking for this for a looooong time, so we’re thrilled to share that Scripting API will be coming later this year. Not familiar with Scripting API and are currently just trying to guess what API stands for (Apes Purchase Igloo? Awful Pun Incoming?)? Essentially, it’s going to allow in-game creators to create scripts which they can then embed into resource packs. We’ll have more info on how this works on Minecraft.net at a later date.
We’ve never officially supported modding in Minecraft, but the Add-Ons system combined with the Scripting API is the beginning of the era where we do.
THE WINNING BIOME IS – TAIGA!
As a part of MINECON Earth 2018, we announced upcoming plans to update three existing biomes in Minecraft: Taiga, Desert and Savanna, with the players deciding which biome to update first through a vote. And the winner was…
Congratulations, Taiga! You got the most votes during the livestream, so you'll be the next biome we update with new features and a new mob! Don't worry, Desert and Savanna fans – we'll still be updating those biomes in time.
We love involving our players in decisions like these so a massive thank you to everyone who voted!
