Minecraft News

To celebrate the release of Scrolls 1.0, everybody will sport the amazing Scrolls-themed cape in Minecraft for a short while! :) This is a temporary event that starts today (Thursday) and runs for 48 hours.

Scrolls is our second major game, get more info and try the demo here: https://www.scrolls.com/demo

Cheers!

(You can disable the cape in Options->Skin Preferences if you need to.)

We have released a new version of Minecraft, 1.8.1, which brings a bunch of new optimizations and bug fixes. It’s 100% compatible with 1.8, and comes with extra hugs.
