It doesn't seem anyone has posted the PCgamer patch-preview yet, or I am just blind.

Well Here it is.

[emmet]

You're blind.

So obsidian has a real use now. From the pic it looks like 10 blocks are needed to be placed. Then you set fire in the middle to make it a portal. Hell is a 1-16 ratio,(hope I put that the right way). Essentially 1 block in hell is equivalent to 16 real world blocks.

Now here's a fellah who's ready and raring to go, soon as that update hits.

The new mobs can fly, can't they? So that setup seems a bit useless.
Also, you can prevent Ghast from spawning by building small rooms. Notch said on his Twitter they only spawn if they have space, either 5x5x5 or 4x4x4. So just build a really small room around the portal if you're afraid of Ghast coming through

Friend of mine showed me a bunch of screenies in MC, or that's what he says.

Is it even possible to do this?

Yes, it's just a skin. A stupid one, but a skin nonetheless. Just like the Painterly pack and plenty of others you can find on the Minecraft forum.

If you look closely, even the shadow seems to be an awesome smiley. ._.

If miclee is here, Notch wants to know who made your skin. I kind of want to know as well, it looks awesome.

Sounds like they already got in touch. It's by this dude, http://twitter.com/XaPhobia.

The skin is going into the game now, a mostly peaceful mob in hell apparently.
It is a great skin though, yeah.

[Kishmond]

I'm working on what is quite possibly the biggest thing I've ever built.

It's a cross between White Gold Tower, Castel Sant'Angelo, and Barad-dûr.

[Gnoll]

Has anyone built a house with a foundation made of TNT, then a detonator in the middle yet? Don't put in any torches or lanterns, because you can use that TNT to destroy the mobs that will spawn inside.

Here is a full-sized preview of the only part that is mostly done.

I was spelunking earlier today and I found a massive lava chamber. so i decided to build a grassy island in the center and make my portal there.

[Kitkat]

O_O

Whoa...

Yeah, that'd be him.

He based it off of a pigman skin I made months and months an months ago. I've been pushing for pigmen to be in for quite some time, too.

[Rysworld]

Hah!

Lucky you, man!

[Cyst]

Well congratulations on obtaining your pigmen Miclee.

[Lippy]

I wont be using the gory texture after all. I want to keep minecraft blood free...There hasn't been blood in MC ever. It's a conscious decision that i forgot when i saw the awesome texture.

Oh well.  Maybe he can still put in the untainted pigmen.

Yeah, contacting him about it right now.

Well, attempting to.
