Minecraft 1.8.6 was just released. More information at https://mojang.com/2015/05/minecraft-1-8-5-security-release/ … This update fixes an issue that was partially fixed in 1.8.5.
We’re giving away 12,000 Realms trials this weekend!
Hello!
You might have already heard of Minecraft Realms. It’s our official way for you to play on a persistent Minecraft world with friends. That means that you and a bunch of buddies can play build, create, and explore in the same world, regardless of how many of you are available.
It’s my favourite way to play Minecraft – playing together with your favourite crafters feels really special, whether you’re building something awesome or gearing up to take down the Ender Dragon.
Realms currently gives you three separate worlds to play on per account – you can generate them from a random seed, upload your own map, or choose one of our funky presets to play on. Even better, your progress is regularly backed up, so you can load a previous save if the whole place burns down, gets flooded, or overrun by enthusiastic creepers. You can even see exactly who has been online and when thanks to our handy activity monitor. It’s super simple to setup and loads of fun!
All Realms accounts also get a special slot which is dedicated to our selection of minigames. There are lots of them already included in each subscription, and you get to switch between them as you please. Read more about them here.
Realms costs from €8/£6.40/$10.40 a month to play (it’s a bit cheaper if you subscribe for longer), and up to 10 crafters can play on any one Realm at a time. It’s currently only available for the PC version of Minecraft.
To celebrate the obvious coolness of Minecraft Realms we thought we’d give away 12,000 14 day trials this weekend. 500 will be available from within your Minecraft client each hour from 11 am UTC on Saturday until 11am on Sunday. To grab one, load up Minecraft and choose Minecraft Realms from the main menu. If you see a link offering you a free trial, click it and your trial will begin! There’s no catch whatsoever! Literally none!
We’re bringing loads of new features to Minecraft: Pocket Edition. Skins! Fishing! Cool boats that support the transportation of wolves.
Skins? Sounds gross
Skins are the way you change the appearance of your Minecraft character. Instead of looking like Alex or Steve, you can roll with a different vibe, like a butcher, dog, or plumber. Skins are purely cosmetic – they don’t affect the way the game plays or give you any special abilities.
But… but… I don’t want to give you money!
That’s fine. There are a few ways to change your skin for free.
Upload a skin from the internet. Use a search engine or Minecraft skin website to find one, then upload it to Minecraft: Pocket Edition.
Create your own skin using the fantastic Minecraft: Skin Studio or your favourite piece of image editing software. Then upload it to Pocket Edition.
Use one of the free skins available in game.
I want to give you money!
Now we’re talking! Bundles of paid skins will also be available. Each pack will contain around 20 skins, and will cost $0.99/€0.79/£0.79. Our first two: City Folk and Town Folk have been designed by the talented, kind, and pixellated Army of Trolls. We’ll also give away a few free skins when each pack releases, just like on console.
I don’t want to change my skin!
That’s fine with us. We’re not going to push skins – free or paid – on our players, even though they’re super cool and you should probably get involved.
When is this happening?
We’re submitting our newest update to Pocket Edition this week. It’ll hit all versions of Pocket Edition once approved by our buddies at Apple, Android, and Windows Phone.
I don’t give a monkey’s about skins. Anything else?
Yes! The upcoming update brings loads more cool stuff. Here are some highlights from the changelog:
Multiple language support
Boats with space for two! Take your pet for a pleasant ride.
The ability to throw stuff from boats, including snowballs and eggs
Fishing! Now you can fish for fishies!
Squids!
Spider jockeys!
Cave Spiders!
Bats!
Adorable baby zombies!
Weird chicken jockeys!
Edible clownfish. Yum!
A fancy new World Edit screen so you can rename worlds, change game modes and do other things
Creative players can no longer be set on fire. Controversial
We’ve stopped cheeky chickens from walking on water
Animals can no longer breed without touching each other ooh err
Drinking milk now removes mob effects
Ridiculous amounts of bug fixes
More cool things that you should discover for yourself
That’s it for now, people.
Continue to have fun playing Pocket Edition, please. And have a nice day!
素晴らしい Minecraft: Skin Studio を使って自分のスキンを作ったり、きみのお気に入り画像をソフトウェアで編集して、ポケットディションにスキンをアップロード。
ゲーム内で無料のスキンのひとつを使うことができます。
僕は運営にお金をあげたいんだ！
では今度はその話をしましょう！課金スキンのバンドルも利用する事も出来ます。それぞれのパックには20個近くのスキンが入っていて、値段は 0.99ドル/0.79ユーロ（訳者注：今だと120円くらい）です。私たちの初めの二つのスキンは：City Folk（都会の人） と Town Folk（町の人）です。才能があり親切で酔っ払いの Army of Trolls によってデザインされています。 また、私たちはパックをリリースする時に、家庭用ゲーム機版のように、いくつかの無料スキンも配布する予定です。

The app will be automatically downloaded and installed on your device. It can take a few days after joining the beta (and after we release an updated version) before you get it, please be patient.

If you want to go back to 0.10.x, just leave the Google+ group and wait a little while for the game to revert.
「Minecraft 1.10: The Love and Hugs Update」と銘打たれた今回のアップデート。Mojangの説明によると、スタジオの面々はこれまで多数のファンと会う機会があったとのこと。年齢の幅も広く、3歳から90代まで様々なユーザーが存在することをここ数年感じ取り、自分たちがとてもユニークな立ち位置に居ることを気付かされたと実感。『Minecraft』という作品の方向性を大きく変えることにした、と伝えています。
Update: due to a serious bug in the Minecraft 1.8.2 server, we released an update to Minecraft 1.8.3
It’s now available through the Minecraft launcher.
Finally, after many weeks of development and seven pre-releases, Minecraft 1.8.2 is ready for release. It is now available in the Minecraft launcher and the server can be downloaded from the Minecraft website download page.
Only minor changes were made since pre-release 7 which was available since Monday. Version 1.8.2 is also fully compatible with all previous server versions (1.8 and 1.8.1), but we recommend to update to 1.8.2 as soon as possible to benefit from all bug fixes and improvements we made in the game.
Minecraft 1.8.2-pre7 – Almost there, just one more…
The longest running series of pre-releases is airing its final episode today.
We are getting close to the release of Minecraft 1.8.2, here is just one more snapshot to make sure we did not break anything with our latest bugfixes and performance tweaks. If everything goes as planned, version 1.8.2 will be released on Thursday, 19th of February 2015.
Yes, it’s true! In the near future you will be able to change your Minecraft in-game name.
When? When! When?!
We plan to make name changing available on February 4th.
What do I need to do this? Will it cost money?
The only thing you need is a Mojang account. If you currently sign in to Minecraft with an email address, you’re all good! Otherwise, you can migrate your old Minecraft account here. There are no other requirements, and it doesn’t cost any money.
It sounds good! Where can I do it?
Just head on over to your Mojang account page! Once the feature is made available you’ll see a “change” link next to your Minecraft name.
Can I steal somebody’s name? Can I call myself “Dinnerbone” too?
No. There is already somebody called Dinnerbone and names are still unique. You can’t have the same name as another player; they will have to change their name for you to be able to take it. 37 days after they change their name, the old one will become available.
What about all those unpaid usernames from so many years ago?
We will be freeing up all those old unpaid usernames when the new name changing feature is released. If you have an old unpaid name that you’d like to keep, there’s still time to buy it! Read this help article to learn how.
Can I change the capitalisation of my name?
Yes, you can!
Does this mean that I can pick a new name every day?
No. After changing your name you have to wait 30 days before you can do it again.
What if I change my name and then realise that I don’t like it? Can I change back to my old name? Yes, you can. You still have to wait the 30 days though.
If I ban a player “Foo” and he changes name to “Bar”, will he stay banned?
Yes. Same for whitelisted players and oped players. They also keep their inventory, pets, statistics and everything they own on a server.
How will this work with mods? What about my custom stuff on this one modded server?
Ask your mod maker/server owner. Mods should be able to support this system easily and most already do, but we aren’t responsible for mods or servers!
もし「Foo」という名前のプレイヤーを BAN して、彼が名前を「Bar」に変更した場合、彼はまだBANされたままになりますか？
はい。ホワイトリストやOPプレイヤーも同じです。彼らのインベントリー、ペット、スタッツ、そしてサーバーで持っている全てが維持されます。
どのようにMODと一緒にも機能しますか？MOD入りのサーバーで私のカスタムしたものはどうなりますか？
MODメーカー/サーバーのオーナーに尋ねてみてください。MOD はこのシステムを簡単にサポートする事ができるはずですし、ほとんどは既にされています。ただし、私たちは MOD やサーバーについては答える事が出来ません！
