Building in Minecraft 1.8
Do you like building? Getting bored of what minecraft supplies you to make your creations? Well, look forward to the 1.8 update which adds many great blocks that you can use to add detail to some of your builds. These new blocks will brighten up your builds and add small details that will catch the eye to make your build look amazing!
First a good thing to mention about something we’ve been waiting for ages for would be the addition of the ability to craft chiseled stone brick(circle stone), mossy stone bricks and cracked stone brick. These sought after blocks were previously only available in generated structures, now with the easy accessibility of them they are now more survival friendly building blocks.

Is it an attempt to clear their hands of anything to do with children using their parents credit cards? Or is it simply doing what’s best for the Minecraft community, and shedding out the shady and massively grossing servers. Either way, this new change in the Mojang EULA and their attitude towards monetisation will have an impact on all multiplayer servers. We’ll take a look at what’s to come and how the Empire will be managing the changes.
