...next week should see the release of Minecraft 1.5, which offers the aforementioned achievements and now also weather. The latter’s an exciting idea, as it’s one of those tried and tested ways of really building in-game atmosphere (see: Stalker, WoW). Here’s what we’re in for:
“There’s periodic downfall (snow in snowy areas, rain in others, nothing in deserts) that make the sky darker, hides the sun, moon and stars, and makes everything wet. Ice grows back in cold regions, and snowfall covers the ground when it’s snowing. During rain/snow, there can be occasional thunderstorms with lightning.” On Twitter, he also added that “Wolves get wet in the rain. Crops will get watered.”
Update: Video!
Also, apparently Minecraft is due to exit beta Nov 11 2011. Neat
