Another good news for the “Minecraft” players and fans all over the world, especially those mobile gamer, recently arrived. There is a new texture pack for popular sandbox game mobile edition or “Minecraft Pocket Edition” released last week.
This new “Minecraft Pocket Edition” texture pack they called “The Fallout Mashup Pack” or “Minecraft Fallout Edition” is now available to purchase and download from the online store. At $5.99 USD, you can download the new texture pack from Google Play Store and enjoy the new game features.
The new “Minecraft” texture pack offers up content based on the “Fallout” post-apocalyptic role-playing game series originally from the Bethesda Softworks. This “Fallout Mashup Pack” or “Minecraft Fallout Edition” includes all-new textures which players can turn their “Minecraft” world into something that looks like the nuclear bomb-blasted landscape of the Fallout universe, says Android Authority.
Aside from the new texture blocks, “The Fallout Mashup Pack” or “Minecraft Fallout Edition” also includes some new mobs and character skins to access which are based on the many colorful characters in the “Fallout” game series. For the “Minecraft” players, it is really good to see new mobs in the game, and these mutated two-headed cows, huge scorpions and other new mobs are makes this new pack very exciting. And of course, this pack adds in some music tracks from the “Fallout” franchise.
This mashup pack is a great way for the Bethesda Softworks to introduce the game to the “Minecraft” players, especially to those doesn’t have any idea about this RPG. On the other hand, the popular sandbox game also makes a similar effect to the “Fallout” players to try this creative building game.
Mojang and Microsoft Xbox never cease to tolerate their fans for bringing new more excitement to the “Minecraft” games. These coming weeks, the update version 1.12 is set to launch. There is still no official schedule when this update will be available, however, you can now check the contents of this update, it includes new parrot mobs and new colorful blocks.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer spent a part of his day today with the team at Minecraft developer Mojang, he said on Twitter. While he didn’t get into specifics about what he saw, Spencer said it was a “Great day with the team [at] Mojang seeing the future work on Minecraft.”
He added: “Very cool to see the new ideas the team has come to life.”
You1 can now explore the St. Kilda archipelago, a tiny collection of islands 40 miles off the Scottish coast, in Minecraft. This is great because it rains less in Minecraft, and the wind won’t shear your face off.
The last islanders left the main island of Hirta in 1930 after life there became unsustainable.
People only now live on Hirta on a temporary basis to work at the military site, or on wildlife conservation projects. …
The map is available for public download to allow gamers all over the world to explore the archipelago’s history, heritage, stories, people and landscapes.
St. Kilda really is perfectly-sized to be a Minecraft map: a main island about 2km long and some smaller outlying ones. I hope they made it so the Minecraft version is fully playable, and not just a vast block of stone under the surface.
1. Can anyone actually find the download? Am I going crazy?
At the end of last year, the Fallout Mash-Up Pack was only available for console versions of Minecraft. However, developer Mojang has just announced that the post-apocalyptic pack will soon be available to play on the Windows 10 and Pocket Edition versions of the game. A small preview of what to expect can be seen in the teaser trailer for the console release of the pack, below:
This is a very interesting combination, as the RPG survival experience offered by Fallout meets the sandbox, block-dominated world of Minecraft.
Many of the characters and visual quirks of the nuclear wasteland game seem to be available, as the pack boasts 44 different skins, and several “mutated” mobs. In addition, it looks like all of the previous Fallout landscapes have been combined into one, so you can hop from Diamond City to elements of the Capitol, for example, something which is not possible in the normal Fallout titles.
As if the latest Fallout game was not already customizable enough, the wasteland is now completely subject to your own imagination and the freedom offered to you by Minecraft’s blocky world.
If you want to buy this pack, you will have to do so via the in-game store. It is priced the same as its console equivalent, at $5.99.
Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition won’t be quite as expansive as PS4 and Xbox One versions, it has been revealed.
Minecraft was recently given a May 11 release date on Nintendo Switch, although UK fans will have to wait until May 12.
But there’s good news and bad news for Nintendo Switch owners, as Mojang reveals more about world sizes and how they compare to Wii U, Xbox One and PS4.
On the plus side, the Nintendo Switch version will support worlds much that are much larger than the ones featured in the Wii U Edition.
The Wii U edition only supported the Classic world type, which is 864×864 blocks.
The Switch version also supports Classic, as well as Small worlds of 1024×1024 blocks and Medium worlds with 3072×3072 blocks.
Unfortunately, however, it won’t support the Large worlds (5120×5120 blocks) found in Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game.
Ultimately, however, the ability to play it on the go makes the Nintendo Switch version an attractive prospect.
Scotland’s remote St Kilda archipelago has been digitally recreated in video game Minecraft.
Games company ImmersiveMinds spent more than 125 hours and used more than three million virtual bricks on the 1:1 scale map of the islands.
St Kilda lies about 40 miles (64km) west of North Uist, the nearest inhabited place to the archipelago.
The last islanders left the main island of Hirta in 1930 after life there became unsustainable.
People only now live on Hirta on a temporary basis to work at the military site, or on wildlife conservation projects.
The Minecraft version of St Kilda has been made to help mark Tuesday’s World Heritage Day.
The map is available for public download to allow gamers all over the world to explore the archipelago’s history, heritage, stories, people and landscapes.
Nick Smith, heritage manager at Western Isles’ local authority Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, said: “This is a really exciting way to use technology so that people can discover a remote and difficult to access place.”
The team from ImmersiveMinds worked closely with Jonathan Wordsworth, the St Kilda archaeologist with The National Trust for Scotland, to ensure that this digital world is as accurate as possible.
The virtual build features abandoned blackhouses, boats and underground structures called souterrains.
