Does the 360 support Java, by any chance?

Nope.

Thought I'd bump this because they showed off a new biome and I think it looks pretty nice:

Spoiler

It's a jungle biome. Apparently the new AI guy they hired wants to add jungle animals too, according to this tweet. And, to top it all off, the most recent snapshot makes vines climbable when they're attached to a block, meaning those giant trees can be easily scaled. So I'm probably going to make an awesome treehouse as soon as I find a jungle.

Here's the weekly snapshot with the new jungle biome and a few gameplay tweaks.

The snapshot also introduces VASTLY improved mob pathfinding AI thanks to the new employee! It's currently only for zombies and wolves.

The last thing anyone would ever want would be an intelligent creeper

god I hope it doesn't get the pathfinding too

[Iceman404]

Creepers should have pathfinding, but an addition. They should hide behind any block that's two blocks tall from the closest player's field of view (or aggressive target). They follow you when you're walking, and hide when you stop. Their walking speed should be a quarter faster than the player's walking speed. Then they would be REAL creepers, though this would lead to global community rage (and since Jeb actually listens to the community, it would be instantly reverted).

they should include a harder version of creeper (like a red creeper or something) that's only accessible through harder difficulties if they're gonna do something like that

one time i suggested a creeper that automatically explodes when it gets within a certain distance (say, 2 blocks or so) of you, regardless of whether there's blocks between you or not

no more boxing yourself in
you gotta fortify or else the mega creeper's gonna get you
(but only on hard difficulties)

[Iceman404]

Tactical Creepers need to naturally spawn on hard. This would be fucking hilarious.

i wonder if they'll start working on a single cohesive direction for the game

[Yo-Yo Boy]

There should be torpedo creepers, which destroys blocks even while underwater.

Good joke

OK, so I've finally done something that's related to Minecraft.

On GooFans.com, I've made a Minecraft Signs addin. Basically I just thought I'd say it here for those who coincidentally love both World Of Goo and Minecraft. Like every GooFans member but me.

So yah. Post ended.

I'm sure this will make a few here angered, but I think it's kind of cute.

Minecraft lego.
But, Minecraft is lego.

All of my why.
