Fan sites and generally anything online getting hacked isn’t always news, even when it is video gaming related. However, when they are big in terms of accounts affected, like the Playstation hacks, it tends to get noticed. So far Minecraft on any platform has managed to stay fairly secure but unfortunately that isn’t the case anymore as a major fan site for Minecraft: Pocket Edition, called Lifeboat, was hacked.
Yesterday the alpha test version of Minecraft Realms for Minecraft: Pocket Edition launched and of course we have to get a server for our readers to come play on, build stuff, and hang out on. There are a couple of limitations to Minecraft Realms, mainly that there’s no modding available just yet and there is a limit of 10 users who can be playing at any given time. You can, however, have up to 200 invited users per server. This is why we are saying our ‘first’ server, as we will probably end up needing more in order to accommodate everyone.
Shortly after the release of Minecraft: Pocket Edition, one of the main features everyone wanted was some sort of server service where players could join up and play together, just like the PC version of Minecraft. This was to be Minecraft Realms, which was going to be hosted by Mojang themselves. Of course players of the PC version could always set up their own servers and a lot of players did. However getting that done for Minecraft: Pocket Edition was nowhere as easy, although with the launch of PocketMine it did become easier for sure.
If you’re a Minecraft fan but only happen to own one of the two Minecraft games for Android, or none of them, then right now is a good time to consider snapping up a copy of the game(s) you don’t own just yet. Both Minecraft: Pocket Edition new Skin Pack and Minecraft: Story Mode are on sale for a limited time, both with pretty big discounted prices too.
Mojang and Telltale Games have released a rather unique little mod for that players of Minecraft can download, install, and enjoy. This mod will work with all versions of Minecraft, which includes Minecraft: Pocket Edition, and is a skin pack that features a lot of the skins used in Minecraft: Story Mode.
Pixowl’s The Sandbox game has done exceedingly well for itself since its initial release. We’ve talked about that game a few times on here, either about the original launch or regarding some of the updates that have greatly expanded the game from what it once was. Needless to say, when we got an offer to check out the sequel at GDC 2016, we were pretty interested in seeing what was new.
Minecraft is a game in particular that could be quite fun, if done properly mind you, in a Virtual Reality format. If you’re nodding your head in agreement while reading this, then you’ll be happy to know that this is actually becoming a reality. During GDC 2016 next week, Microsoft and Oculus will be unveiling Minecraft for the Gear VR.
One of the big additions coming to Minecraft: Pocket Edition is the inclusion of full Redstone capabilities, which can make all sorts of automated things. The basics have already been added to Minecraft: Pocket Edition, that being the Redstone itself, but the more complex items and better optimization will be coming in the next update to the game.
Albion Online is currently running its closed beta phase right now and the game already has a ton of content to play through. However that hasn’t stopped Sandbox Interactive as today Albion Online has just received a new content update called ‘Aurelius’ which adds even more goodies to the game.
Back in June of this year we reported on our friends over at Butterscotch Shenanigans and their upcoming Crashlands mobile game, which looks like it will be a hell of a lot of fun. This game has been in developer for about 2 years now, and is a mix of different genres, mainly Survival and Action-RPG, all of which is set in a Sci-Fi themed universe.
