Minecraft once again made the news today with their announcement that theywould deliver real world “Mine Chests”for $30/month. There is now even more Minecraft news to report on, and this time it has to do with the actual game.

A pre-release of Minecraft 1.9 is now available, and it has entered its final stage before a final version is officially released next week, on February 25th. While a complete list of changes won’t be out until the final release,Mojang has listed the usualrelease notes on their website:

Notable changes:

Bugs fixed:

To get the pre-release, you first need open your launcher and press the “new profile” button. Next, name that profile “snapshots” (without the quotes) and check the box which says “experimental developmental snapshots.” To end the process, simply hit save. If you want to switch back to the normal version, you can select it from the dropdown menu at the bottom left corner of the launcher. You should, however, be sure to back up your worlds, as snapshots can corrupt your world.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
