If it feels like it's been a while since the last Minecraft update -- then you're right. Between Mojang's visit to the USA for the Independent Games Festival and Game Developers Conference, there actually hasn't been a game update since February 23rd. But wait - there's a light at the end of the tunnel!

"The plan is to release 1.4 this week."

That's right, Minecraft 1.4's release is scheduled for this week. Hopefully to include the new wolf pets, it's an update that many avid gamers are looking forward to. Unfortunately, the previously mentioned "stat and achievement" system doesn't look like it's going to make it into this patch, but I'm sure Notch will release it soon enough (#notchtime).
"Achievements will NOT be chores like “cut down 10000 trees”, but rather challenges like “ride a pig off a cliff”. Stats, however, will be used to keep track of how many trees you have cut down. The long term plan is to show achievements and stats from the profile page on minecraft.net as well, in case you want to brag."

"Full steam ahead, captain!
Someone pointed out to me that most of my blog updates recently were about how I had no time to develop. I thought about it, and realized that I only feel like I have the time to blog when I’m being prevented from doing actual development. So I guess in one sense, the recent lull in updates can be seen as a good thing. ;) Hopefully it doesn’t mean I’ve grown tired of blogging..

I’ve been able to focus on development a lot the last couple of weeks, and we’re hoping to get the new update out soon. It will include the wolves, the ability to change your spawn point, and a rather ambitious statistics tracking and achievement system. Once that update is out, we’ll spend some time figuring out exactly what to do with the modding, which should result in a nice modding API.

Other cool news is that work has started on the mobile version of Minecraft, we landed a merchandise deal with J!NX (pardon the plug), the guys working on Scrolls decided to use Scrum with internal demos each Tuesday, the office renovations are almost complete, and 2 Player Productions reached their goal on kickstarter to make a full-length movie about Mojang! Amazingly, they’re the third highest funded project on kickstarter!"

Modding API... could be awesome, or horrible.

And awww... if you give them a bone they <3 you. So adorable. I hope you can keep them at least semi-permanently.

Funny, I didn't see it in the first playthrough, but he actually turns on his super Mojang-speed/flyhacks at 1:22.

Minecraft Beta looks like so much fun XD. Wish I could afford it right now. Seems like fun to have a pet wolf following you around, helping you kill the cows Hehe.
