Post E3 Information Dump (Straight From The Word OF Notch)
Hi! E3 is over, and were flying back to Sweden in a few hours. I have loads of information and news to share, so heres a rambling information dump:
* Minecraft fans are amazing. I spent a fair bit of time at E3 signing t-shirts and cardboard heads, trying to speak with as many fans as possible, and every single person was super friendly and nice.
* It looks like we need to change the release date for Minecraft to be able to get a good venue for MinecraftCon. 11/11/11 is fully booked. One week later, perhaps? Ill post more details as soon as weve decided and booked a venue.
* Minecraft is coming to XBox 360. It will be a new version of the game, designed specifically for console play. We havent decided on a name yet. It will feature (but not require) Kinect support, and is being released this winter. It will be a 360 exclusive title.
* Minecraft is coming to Xperia PLAY. It will be a new version of the game, designed specifically for mobile play. This version is called Minecraft - Pocket Edition. Its built as a native Android game, and will take full use of the Xperia PLAY controls. After some period of exclusivity, we will release it for all modern Android phones.
* On both these platforms, Im going to be more secretive about giving out details. This is because there are actual PR budgets on them, and I dont want to mess up any big plans.
* I will be the game designer on both new Minecraft titles, but I wont be involved in the programming as Im focused on the PC version of Minecraft.
* We are working on Minecraft Beta 1.7, which Im referring to as the adventure update. Were keeping the details secret so people can get surprises. The idea with this update is to flesh out the game a bit, making it reward exploration and combat more. Assuming we like them in play testing, pistons are coming in 1.7.
* Ive now been to the Playboy Mansion! Woo! Not related to Minecraft at all, but I just wanted to share that.
* Speaking of not Minecraft related, I got to see the Skyrim demo (thanks, Tim), and its freaking amazing. While the dragons in the demo were obviously scripted (he knew exactly where they would land and such), they claim theyre fully dynamic and unscripted in the full game.
* Were starting the modding support on a small scale with 1.7. Well be giving the source code out to a very VERY small group of people before the release of 1.7. Well use those experiences to work out the final details, then well get the modding api out as soon as possible after 1.7 has been released.
* Again, if you werent ware, the modding api is the entire source code for Minecraft, uncensored and unobfuscated. You need to agree to certain terms to get access, though, but anyone can apply. 10th June 2011

If You haven't seen the 1.6.6 Change Log Here It is
Unless there are any emergency things to fix, I wont do any more updates before 1.7. Going to E3 on Saturday.
I will be bringing my laptop to do some development, but I wont be able to do much testing.
ONWARDS TO THE ADVENTURE UPDATE! *holds up sword, poses dramatically*
1.6.6:
+ Added a new use for bonemeal
* Changed the material of glowstone from glass to stone. This means you need a pickaxe to get resources from it
* Made glowstone drop more loot
* Made the recipe sizes for creating cloth blocks and glowstone blocks smaller (2x2 instead of 3x3)
* Re-introduced unlimited FPS, renamed the option again
* Fixed beds not working very well at all in SMP
* Fixed destroying a boat spawning the player too low, causing them to sometimes fall through the ground
* Boats float up to the surface quicker
* Boats falling down into water lose their vertical momentum very fast
* Removed Herobrine

The newest version at the moment 1.6.6 .
1.7 isn't out yet. The date when It is coming out hasn't been released.
But when It does come out It will be awesome.
