Minecraft Getting Weather

[Demon_Skeith]

Minecraft will be getting weather elements, including rain and snow, in its next update 1.5. The announcement came straight from the game's creator Notch. Not long after Notch confirmed rain and snow he admitted via his twitter he was getting "carried away with this weather..Adding thunder now." The effects of weather are still being decided as Notch is taking suggestions from his twitter followers, "Wolves get wet in the rain. Crops will get watered. Anything else it should affect?"

Weather elements will effect gameplay. Rain will be able to put out fires and water crops. He hasn't commented on the effects of snow or thunder yet.

Once again we are glad to be able to follow this game so closely because of the background and where it came from,

until the game comes out in Nov. 2011 we will be running a 24/7 up-to-date server for minecraft beta 1.4 with a few awesome bukkit mods to make the game that much sweeter,

Cool! So things like snow or water won't be limited resources anymore!
