currently losing it @ this cryptic as hell tweet the minecraft twitter just posted
is this a hint at 1.15???
Some additional observations here:
The picture used in this tweet appears to be an edited version of the promo art they used for 1.9 (the original combat update)
They’ve stated before that an upcoming update to minecraft will focus on combat/pvp, similar to the original combat update- so I think it’s significant that they used an edited version of the promo pic for the original combat update here.
Some other details to point out about this picture:
- they edited diamond armor (including chestplates!) onto alex & steve, despite them still wearing elytra.
- they edited their swords out
- they edited in purple particles around alex & steve
- they edited out an end city ship that was previously obscured by text anyway
Also worth mentioning: they’ve previously stated that they were going to add functionality to the smithing and fletching table blocks in the next update to minecraft, because “We have a great idea for them for the next major themed update”.
With all this info I think it’s safe to say that the 1.15 update will introduce lots of changes related to combat and pvp.
Also, let’s talk about the text of the tweet itself here. It seems to be implying that there’s going to be more resources to be found in the end, so I think we can expect them to be overhauling the end as well???
There’s so many possibilities here!!! I’m so excited to hear more…
wait what the hell, I just realized. the first letter of every word in this tweet spells out “TEN YEARS”. alluding to the ten year anniversary of minecraft that’s coming up this month.
?!?!?!?! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
ok last time im gonna reblog this just so i stop spamming yall (unless something else comes up) but I think this tweet is definitely hinting at there being a big reveal on the day of minecraft’s 10th anniversary.
The first playable version of minecraft classic was released to the public on May 17th, 2009… so the anniversary is coming up in just 2 weeks. There’s already been some discussion about some event going on in stockholm on that day, so I think it’s safe to assume this tweet is hinting at that. Keep your eyes peeled everyone, there’s gonna be some big news soon enough!
