Okay, sure, the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft is pretty sweet, but the PC version is where the action is. Minecraft lead Jens Bergensten has tweeted an image of what he’s working on at the moment, and it’s pretty neat: an interface for trading items with villagers. It’s a work in progress, of course, so keep an eye on upcoming change logs and updates to see if and when it ever makes it to the full release.

Thanks, IGM.

Mojang’s confirmed it’ll add more world types to Minecraft following the inclusion of Superflat.

A scurrilous Minecraft user pulled a swifty on Mojang, adding a racial epithet to the game’s crowd-sourced Afrikaans translation. Lead developer Jens Bergensten apologised for not catching the user, but it should be noted that Mojang does not produce Minecraft’s translations, instead asking fans to pool their knowledge and get the job done. The slur has since been removed. If you would like to contribute to Minecraft’s translation efforts in a more positive way, check out the project page.

Thanks, Strategy Informer.

Minecraft lead Jens Bergensten tweeted a picture of a jungle biome, presumably on its way to Minecraft in a future update. A later tweet suggests unique animals may eventually appear to populate the new environment, too.

Thanks, Gamefront.

Mojang expects to release its first major update since Minecraft’s official launch any time now.
