Another week, another snapshot. We are currently focusing on getting all the new content that we have planned into the snapshots, but it will take a little time until we see it all there. This week we have spent some time laying down the ground work for better boss fight AI and upgrade paths between worlds, so we can do even cooler stuff in the following weeks’ snapshots.
Thanks to everyone who reported bugs for the snapshots last week. We were very eager to see how many problems are reported for the first snapshots in many months and we are positively surprised by the fact that we saw less problems than expected.
Here are some of the improvements since last week:
Improved Ender Dragon fight, now with more cowbell!
Better handling of using items in both the mainhand and offhand.
Some monsters have problems with their vision now, but we don’t have the time to code glasses for them.
Generic upgrade path for world saves, this is very technical internal stuff that you’ll only notice if it goes wrong, but it makes our lives easy.
Added a thing to the system with the values. Can’t be more specific, no spoilers.
And some bug fixes:
[Bug MC-48730] – Nametags still show while player is invisible and on team
[Bug MC-82833] – Shulker projectile follows player in spectator mode and creative mode
[Bug MC-84035] – Enderdragon can’t die unless perched on portal
[Bug MC-84078] – When fishing rod is cast, all fishing rods look like it was cast out to sea too
[Bug MC-84253] – almost all potion and tipped arrows are black
[Bug MC-84584] – Placing End Rod on End Rod sends “hslsdjfksdlk” to output log twice
We have released a new version of Minecraft, 1.8.8, to improve some functionality of Realms and fix some reported bugs & crashes.
This version is fully compatible with all previous 1.8 versions, but it is still highly recommend to update to 1.8.8 as soon as possible for both players and servers.
Notable bugs fixed:
[Bug MC-80817] – Server may not start in some environments
[Bug MC-81018] – Potential server crashing exploit

Next, click the “Redeem” button on your account page, sign into your Microsoft account, and follow the instructions that follow. That’s it! You’ll be playing Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta in a jiffy.
Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta will be available to download in the Windows 10 Store.
Have fun with Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta, kind crafters! And enjoy fiddling about with your swanky new operating system!
Windows 10 が明日出るという事が記事では書かれてますが、これは7月28日に書かれたもので Windows 10 自体は 7月29日に出てます。ちょっと訳すのが遅かったので微妙な感じになってしまっているだけ。7月末からスナップショットとWindows10版にMinecraft 1.8.8、それからゲーム機用のリソースパックと固まっていたので、まだ適当な訳をつけてないのも明日か明後日くらいには何とかすると思う。

今回は久しぶりにスナップショットのお報せが Mojang のブログに。最近は色々な人が Mojang のブログを更新をしているので、以前多かったスナップショット（マインクラフトを公式にアップデートする前のテスト的なバージョン）のお知らせは少なくなっていた。そして最近は家庭用ゲーム機などの話題が多かったのだが、今回は PC 版のスナップショットのお知らせでいつも出ていた Dinnerbone がまた戻ってきた。
Minecraft snapshot 15w31a
It’s time! It’s that time again! It’s finally here! It’s snapshot time! Snapshots!
A little later than I’d have liked, but we’re now ready to start public testing of Minecraft 1.9: The Combat Update. As you can expect from the name, the update is mostly about cuddling and farming plants.
I’m not going to tell you what’s new, but I will tell you what isn’t new… yet. These are the things you should not expect to find in this super-alpha-development-preview-test-build-thing:
Any balancing of any kind. Seriously, expect things to be hilariously overpowered or underpowered.
Melee combat changes. Melee combat will change, just not in this snapshot.
Shields. They tie into the melee combat changes.
The meaning of life. That’s also for another snapshot.
Perfect respawn mechanics of the end. You can respawn the dragon right now by drawing a creeper face with clay, but it won’t respawn everything yet. That’s temporary.
Lots of new items/blocks which don’t exist yet. That’s why you’re respawning the dragon like above.
New potions or enchantments. There will be new ones, just not right now!
Subtitles support. It’s still planned for 1.9!
Proper offhand interaction support. Right now it doesn’t entirely work as expected, we have to go through every interaction and decide what should happen each time.
Lots of stuff, really. We have a lot of things planned for 1.9, and this is just the first snapshot. Gotta keep some surprises!
A note for resource pack authors: We have changed the format of resource packs slightly, and have support for versioning packs now. You can still use incompatible packs, it just needs extra confirmation from the user.
A note for everybody else: Back up your world before updating. Things will break, especially in such an early snapshot. Backup your world. Back it up. Do it now.
Please report any and all bugs you find in Minecraft to bugs.mojang.com. If nobody reports a bug, we can’t fix it!
What did the greeks ever do for us? They inspired another mash-up for Minecraft on console, that’s what.
Yes – now you can download 39 skins, a custom texture set, and a new UI, all inspired by Greek mythology of old. The pack gives you the chance to play as actual gods, including head honcho, Zeus, and fishy beardy man, Poseidon. Cool monsters like minotaurs and cyclopes also feature.
The pack also comes with greek-inspired music composed by Gareth Coker and an custom map of awesome scale for you to explore alone, or with your buddies.
The Greek Mash-up pack costs £3.29/$3.99 and is available on the Xbox marketplace and PSN right now!
Some of you may have seen this guy hanging around MINECON in London a couple weeks ago. He’s Rob McElhenney, and he’s going to be directing the upcoming Minecraft movie.
Microsoft が Mojang を買収してから暫くたつけど、Windows 10 に関するお報せらしい。Windows のバージョンアップでは毎回承認などの関係で色々なソフトが動かなくなる事があるが Minecraft は Microsoft が買収したおかげでその点に関しては心配なさそうだ。逆に Minecraft にサポートが期待できるかもしれない。
Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta
Hello!
We have exciting news to share! A whole new version of Minecraft is on its way. This time, it’s for Windows 10 – Microsoft’s new swanky operating system that’s due for release on July 29th.
We’re calling it Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta.
Just like the first release of Minecraft all those years ago, this version will develop and evolve over time with the help of your feedback. That’s why it has “Beta” in the title – because it’s not quite finished, and will become even more fun over time. Just like the other versions of Minecraft, all future updates will be free. We spoil you. We really do.
If you’re one of the 20 million(!) players who have the PC edition of Minecraft (referred to by techy people as the Java version) you’ll be able to download Windows 10 Edition Beta from the Windows 10 store for free. Other players can get it for the paltry price of $10 during the beta period (the length of which is still being decided).
Minecraft is available on Windows, Mac, Windows Phone, iOS, Android, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and PS Vita, and now, Windows 10. Not every version of Minecraft is exactly the same, but they all feature two distinct game modes – Creative and Survival – that cater to different types of players. All versions of Minecraft support multiplayer.
You’ll recognise some Pocket Edition features in Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta, along with potpourri of cool extras. Here are some highlights:
Craft, create, and explore online with up to seven friends playing Windows 10 Edition Beta, through local multiplayer or with your Xbox Live friends online.
Play online and local multiplayer with other Pocket Edition players thanks to a free update, due to arrive soon after launch.
Multiple control schemes! Switch between controller, touch, and keyboard controls with little to no effort!
Record and share gameplay highlights with built-in GameDVR.
Help shape the future of Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta with our built player feedback mechanisms!
Chickens, zombies, pigs, boats, armed skeletons, potatoes, zombies, baby squids, enchantment tables, villagers, naked sheep, iron golems, potions, ghasts, pickaxes, carrots, and all the weird and wonderful goodness you’ve come to expect from Minecraft.
We hope you’re as excited as us for Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta. It’s gonna be cool!
Thanks for reading!
Owen
