Rock Paper Shotgun got an exclusive leak of the newest item in Minecraft, set to go live this coming Tuesday: beds. The new item will initially allow us to turn night into day (presumably only in single player) and, come March, set spawns according to the last bed slept in.
The update will also bring the repeater/delayer redstone block that Jeb initially leaked on Twitter. It’s been about a month since the last update, which weirdly feels like a long time. Of course, the first update came roughly a week after I got seriously interested in the game, so I guess that’s probably why a month feels long.
I’m glad to hear that we can expect another update as early as March. I love Minecraft in a way I have loved few games, but a lot of my love has as much to do with the potential of the game as it does with what’s actually there. Don’t get me wrong, I love building, but I also love setting up different areas for crafting all the cool items the game offers. I have a farm with a farmhouse for wheat and baking bread as well as cake. I have a sprawling mine, a big mob spawner, a couple roads for connecting things, a logging camp. I’m curious to see what sorts of things the new blocks will open up.
