Ever the work in progress, a Halloween update, dubbed the "Pretty Scary Update," is coming to Minecraft this October. According to Mojang, here's the official word on the update:
"Still working towards the Pretty Scary Update. We’re reaching the end of the number of features we want, and will from now on start focusing on polishing up a 1.4 release. Here’s the 12w38a changelog:
Updated and added new sounds by C418
Added a neutral mob
Added a hostile mob (doesn’t spawn yet)
Command block target parameters have been upgraded, check here for details: https://gist.github.com/3736487
Beacon artwork has changed
Wood trunk blocks are now rotated differently. Instead of using the player’s position, it will rotate based on the face it is placed upon. This is mainly a test, so feedback is welcomed, but for me personally this way is a bit easier."
Now, they don't get into the specifics of those new mobs, but the video below does. Check it out!
Perfect for anyone building a batcave.
The Halloween update will be one of the biggest updates to Minecraft of the year. Other parts of the update include new food items (carrots and potatoes), corner stairs, dying of leather clothes, cobblestone walls, and many, many more adjustments.
A release around this time of year is becoming typical for Mojang and Minecraft. In 2010, their last Halloween Update included the addition of the Nether, two new mobs (Ghasts and Zombie Pigmen), new block types, and more.
The new update should be out next month
