    La patch 1.3 per Minecraft sarà pubblicata l’uno agosto. Fra poco più di tre settimane ci saranno dunque alcune novità sul fenomeno indie basato sulla raccolta di materiali e sul loro utilizzo in totale libertà in un mondo vastissimo ideato da Markus Notch Persson e realizzato da Mojang. Proprio il piccolo studio svedese ha annunciato questa notizia indicando anche che si punterà a migliorare la stabilità e ci saranno delle correzioni di problemi.
    Ovviamente ci saranno delle novità come la presenza del multiplayer in LAN (e quindi in rete locale), l’ampliamento di alcune opzioni per la chat e la possibilità di lasciare messaggi agli utenti più un’espansione della modalità avventure, del Creative mode e molte altre innovazioni su esperienza accumulata ed abilità.
    A seguire le novità. Qui, invece, il link della fonte.
