Minecraft news this week: Due to the Mojang collectively entering the vacation mode, the version update is all suspended; the Bedrock Edition market has opened the New Year celebration activities synchronously; why the warthog beast is afraid of strange bacteria; Microsoft talked about the construction of the Minecraft meta-universe.
1. Minecraft kicks off the New Year's celebrations, and through January 17, Marketplace will offer some fun giveaways, free YT creator skins, free weekly maps, and more. In the coming weeks, something will be given away at the Bedrock Edition Minecraft Marketplace, which will last for 28 days, which means that players can claim 28 bonus items for free.
For example, the first is Awethyst Crystals Amethyst, the third reward is Glow Berry Vine Wings, and the fourth reward is gute Axolotl Onesie, which has a cute little tail behind the dress.
The fifth reward is the Glow Squid Hat and so on. Of course, these only apply to The International Bedrock Edition.
2. Why are warthogs afraid of "weird bacteria"? Recently, the Minecraft community has been discussing one thing on a small scale, that is, the Warthog Beast (Hoglin) will stay away from the Strange Bacteria, the Strange Bacteria Potted Plant, the Nether Portal Block and the Rebirth Anchor 7 Blocks, what is the logic of this feature? If the portal block and the rebirth anchor are kept away because of some special energy, what about the "weird bacteria"? Is there any secret to the strange fungus of this forest?
Mojang developer Henrik explained the problem to us, contrary to popular belief. Minecraft's warthog beasts aren't actually afraid of fungi in the weird forest, they're just because it has a weird smell, and staying away from this weird-smelling forest is more important than breeding and keeping alive.
3. Minecraft: Dungeons released a recruitment order; the team recently released its first seasonal update DLC, and the entire team is still in a state of lack of developers, including senior C++ engineers, character game designers, technical leaders, and so on. The dungeon is said to be undergoing a large number of development tests of unknown content. So as far as the entire development team is concerned, the dungeons are updated so frequently, which is almost completely more than the original mc. Capable players This is an opportunity
It is worth mentioning that even Minecraft Dungeons is in mojang studios.
4. Building the Minecraft Metaverse; Last week, after Minecraft reached 1 trillion views on YT, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer chatted about the prospects for Minecraft, the metaverse, and the virtual world. As we all know, today, whether it is the technology industry or the game industry, the concept of "meta-universe" has reached the level of obsession. However, Minecraft has become the best-selling game in the world today, which is also a big reason why Microsoft chose to acquire it in 2014. But in itself, Minecraft is actually the prototype of the metaverse.
Minecraft is unique in scope and scale, permeating almost every platform you can think of, and Spencer says the metaverse isn't just a virtual world built around a game, but a player-centric ecosystem that meets all their day-to-day needs. The ecology of Microsoft's empire, whether it is the world's first Minecraft or mature AR, VR, AlttspaceVR, etc., has more advantages than any other technology company or game company. So the metaverse has the possibility of successful construction... (Omit 10,000 words here, Microsoft this person is too wordy)
PS: To put it simply, Microsoft's metaverse plan in Minecraft is still only in the stage of mouth cannons.
