A Small Observation
So, I’ve recently been reading the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson. If you haven’t read it, I highly suggest you to even if you hate Apple(I’m not a big fan). I’ve noticed something incredibly similar between Jobs’ revolutionizing how people use personal computers and, in a sense, how Markus Persson(Notch) revolutionized the indie game industry.
Before...

For the Youtube Channel
A subscriber on the Youtube channel recently sent me a message, telling me of quite a genius idea. That idea being that we allow people to submit Let’s Plays and such of the mod to be put on our channel.
I like this idea, so I thought we’d roll with it! To submit a video:
Send an e-mail to miclee@minecrafter.com subject line ‘EvilMinecraft Video Submission’

A Message to the one That is Titled 'Notch'
Dear Notch,
I saw your recent blog post about why Minecraft isn’t on Steam, and I see a few problems with what you have said.
“Being on Steam limits a lot of what we’re allowed to do with the game, and how we’re allowed to talk to our users. We (probably?) wouldn’t be able to, say, sell capes or have a map market place on minecraft.net that works with steam customers in a way that...

Updates! (I need to blog moar!)
First of all, I need to blog more! It’s something I always forget to do. If I don’t blog enough, remind me on Twitter to.
Now, to the updates! We released the ‘EvilPack’ texture pack, which can be found below. Be sure to post your feedback on it on the forums!

Mod plans
So, for now(as the API isn’t out yet), we’re working on a ‘preview’ mod(I was about to call it small, but it isn’t really at all). Below are the features of this. Once the API is released, we’ll be sharing the ideas for the full overhaul, for all of you wondering. These are all straight from our ideas list, so wording may be a bit rough.
Below is the list*:

How it all started, and the future!
So, I’ve seen a lot of people asking things like ‘Why did you start this all?’ and ‘How’d you come up with this idea?’. This blog post addresses that!
So, it all started a week and a half ago on a Thursday evening. I was sitting around bored, talking with people on IRC. Someone discussed Trollstam, and then an idea hit me. I then quickly went and made...
Some of the random feature ideas!
‘Mimics! Chests in dungeons that are actually hostile mobs upon opening.’
‘Cave ins.’ (elaborate discussion on exactly how followed that point)
‘Alcohol/drunk effects.’
‘Make it so that if lightning strikes blood water, all the blood water in that chunk is electrified for 5 minutes and will hurt you if you touch it.’
‘Disease. Farm animal...
A quick Q&A!
What is EvilMinecraft?
EvilMinecraft is going to be a mod that is a complete overhaul of Minecraft. The basic gameplay(digging and building) will remain the same as Minecraft, but everything else will change, mostly. But more on that another time!
When will EvilMinecraft be released?
It currently has no release date, as we’re waiting for the mod API to be released to begin on a...
Just a random idea from our massive list!
Make little pieces of the nether “leak” from portals. (ex. Netherack and soulsand around portal. Chance of Nether mobs spawning near portal.) AKA Corruption.
The EvilMinecraft Mod; serious time!
Well, well! We’ve been doing a lot of planning and plotting and talking and tweeting, etc. These past 3 days have seen amazing growth, and thank you to all you minions for making it worth our while!
Now, about EvilMinecraft the mod. Nothing will be made before the Mod API is released. Why? Licensing. We’re going to look into getting something special so that we can also possibly have...
