Minecraft Celebrates Tenth Anniversary With Free Map

Enoch Starnes

One of these celebratory events is the release of a free anniversary map to the Minecraft Marketplace, which can be accessed by players on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Windows 10, and mobile devices. Java players can access it via the game's anniversary page. The map, developed by the Blockwork collective, is a glorious cacophony of a thing, highlighting the numerous memories dotting the game's continued development.

Minecraft Update Brings A Promising Future

Matthew Squaire

Being able to play with your friends regardless of platform is a great step in the right direction for gamers as a whole and adds value to whichever edition players get theirs hands on. That being said, Sony opted out of being a part of this togetherness, meaning neither the PlayStation 3 nor PS4 versions will be compatible. Whether or not the comments in the video about the universe not exploding and everything being better together are meant at Sony directly will probably never be answered.

Explore the Great Wall with the Minecraft Chinese Mythology Pack

Jason Love

Any time I see anything remotely related to ancient China, I can't help but wonder if Lu Bu will pop in at some point. I blame years of playing Dyansty Warriors games. Maybe some voxel version of him is lurking with the depths of the Minecraft world...

The digital version of the favorites pack has been going on for about a year, allowing Minecrafters to snag a handful of add-ons on the cheap. These extras include seven of the best-selling extras, most of which are skin and texture packs:

Now through May 16, Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition and Minecraft: Xbox One Edition owners can grab the 4th Birthday Skin Pack and wear it with pride. If you're new to the Xbox flavors of the game, you can go ahead and download the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Birthday Skin Packs, as well! It's Microsoft's way of saying thanks for all the good times, and there have been plenty of good times over the years. Just look at the 20 million copies of the game sold on Xbox consoles.

Manually Build Some Holiday Cheer With The Minecraft: Xbox One Edition Holiday Pack

Enoch Starnes

This eggnog-centric fellowship doesn't have to happen over the Net, though. You and three of yours can also plop down on the couch and enjoy the seven included DLC packs on the same screen. Speaking of which, here's what you'll be getting if you make the purchase:

Scares, Spartans, And Sith Added To The Console Editions Of Minecraft

Star Wars Prequel Skin Pack Halo Mash-up: Minecraft Evolved (Xbox only) Halloween 2015 Mash-up Pack

The first of those contains over 50 skins from the Star Wars prequel trilogy, ranging from Darth Maul and General Grievous to Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi. You can find the full list here. The second contains new skins, textures, music, and pre-made iconic Halo worlds for you to explore (my personal recommendation is to do so as Watto). Finally, the Halloween Mash-up gives you the chance to creep out your friends by becoming one of a number of classic ghouls, like Swamp Monster and the Bride of Frankenstein, and just staring at them from a far off cliffside. Alongside that, the pack includes new music, textures, and a full freaky world for you to run around in as you gorge yourself on individually packaged candies.

New Minecraft Skin Pack is All about Togas, Argonauts

John Bardinelli

A custom texture set, an orchestral soundtrack, a new UI, and 39 unique skins await you in this mash-up pack. Yeah, there's a lot of marble stuff to build with. But you know what? That's history. Not nearly as historical are all of the mythological figures you can encounter while playing. Satyrs and hydras? Check. Cerberus and Prometheus? Oh yeah, they're there. Helen of Troy, Medusa, Achilles, Theseus, Zeus, Perseus, Haded, sea monsters... ok, you get the picture. It's a little bit of history, a lot bit of mythology.

Console Versions of Minecraft Get Limited Edition Minecon Capes

John Bardinelli

Ok, so four capes, but they're free, so who's gonna complain? The download is available now through July 15, making this the last weekend you can strap a lever to your back as the Minecraft version of a "kick me" sign. The other capes include a totally non-scary villager face, a golden pickaxe, and a nice and fiery creeper mug that stares at everyone walking behind you.
