on Friday November 28th 4J studios said they would be releasing a new skin pack. the skin pack is called the classic star wars skin pack. it includes about 50 skins! here is a screenshot

screenshot know from the movie Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back made in 1982

new TU19 screenshot!

this past week 4J has been active on twitter. they tweeted a award they got, a PS4 and Xbox one disc update and they posted another TU19 screenshot. now this is amazing what i spot. i spot a donkey and it's inventory, in the inventory i spot a name tag, block of coal, lead, and on the right side horses hooked up to fences by leads. in the inventory you can see a donkey with a saddle.

A STEVE DAY?

4J studios tweeted a photo on twitter with a Minecraft Steve holding a diamond pic-axe. they put saying above the photo saying Happy Steve Day, so is it possible there is a new Yearly thing called Steve day? if so that would be great! i will put a photo if i can find one. wait a minute here you go! look at this photo below!

look at this Happy Steve Day photo! this looks amazing.

4J won an award for best xbox one and playstation 4 game but not for xbox 360?

4J studios tweeted a photo of an award they won for TGIF awards i belivie but they said it was only for xbox one, playstation 4 and 3. but no XBOX 360! that is strange because mostly people play pc and xbox so why didnt xbox 360 minecraft get a reward or a award? i will look into this case more but that is very strange. XBOX 360 even has beeon out longer so why not it being first!

4J studios teases the community with TU20 screenshots!

4J studios can be amazing and not so great. but for the past few weeks they have been active with TU20 and plusies. for the first screenshot they posted a spider plushie with a xbox 360 screenshot of horses it looks like and with beacons, hay bales, redstone blocks in the menu and hoppers in the inventory.

if you see in that picture it shows brown and white horses. you can see hay bales. well this is now the clear photo this is the blury version. on the next photo i want you to look carefully too!

as you can tell they are playing on playstation vita. if you can see there is a 3 headed object with a curvey tail. which that is the wither boss. if you can look carefully in the left there is witches. and if you look in the upper right corner there is bats hanging off the ceiling. on the next photo you need to look carefully too!

on this photo it is either on Playstation 3 or 4. if you can tell in the hand there is a rocket. and if you can tell in the distiance there is a creeper firework.

now these were sent by 4J studios. now the release date? im thinking it is near the beginning of 2015 it is coming because look at the progess they have already did. do you see how much stuff they have added in already. they have added about 1. horse 2. red stone block 3. beacons 4. hopper 5. horse armor 6.rocket 7.wither boss 8.witches 9. wither 10. bats. they have already added 10 features, so they do have more but that is fast for only 1 month.

Halloween texture pack news!

now here is some news that might convince you about the halloween texture pack coming. about 1 month ago roger carpenter got sent a message if the halloween texture pack was getting re released. he replys and says well next month is october ;]

what ithink about the next updates release.

i think that the new update coming will take a while. the reason why is because as some of you know this new update contains 3 updates in 1 which are the horse update, the pretty scary update, and the redstone update. im thinking it will release maybe in may in 2015 or eariler because it takes about 5 or 6 months so now is they started working on the update on october 2nd so 1 2 3 4 5 6, if you count up it goes to may so it will be either in march or april or may or june but im hoping soon!

halloween texture pack getting rereleased?

so as you guys know Halloween is almost here, so is the Halloween texture pack getting released again? people ask this on websites but they dont give the correct answer the only real answers are told by 4J studios there self. so stay tuned for the next week or 2 because Halloween is down the corner so i believe were getting a least a skin pack or texture pack for the season.

why does it take 4J so long for updates you ask?

the reason why it takes so long for 4J to make these updates is because xbox might be harder to code and also they have to make a checklist of stuff they want to add. like mods is a no no because the code they tried was not good enough it would cause lagging. they work hard so people need to stop making it hard on them because they try to make xbox more like PC that is why it takes forever they need your answers for updates thats why they never reply! they are awesome go follow them on twitter!!!!!

today doctor who entered minecraft

the hit series on BBC channel which is in England today got entered into a new dimmension. today 4J studios posted a photo and message on twitter. they said a new doctor who skin pack was getting released friday which is today. it contains good skins.

my review on this new skin pack: i think it is very detailed but the mouths on girls are too low for me. i like the curly hair girl because im naturally curly. my favorite skins were the angel of liberty and the bots. i am impressed but they should have did better to me.

Q: what is your 1-10 review

A: 7 because it is really good but needs more skins other that doctors i would think the diamond mine carts skin should be in the next one because where it volume 1 next would be volume 2.
