Mojangs artist: Markus Toivonen aka. Junkboy in real life!

Image
Who is this mysterious artist?   Not much is known about junkboy, and especially not his face. It is understandable though why he chose to keep his identity secret, with Mojangs recent succes and everything. I did manage to find this video of an interview with the mojangsters, where junkboy is featured:

Changelog: Releasing an early snapshot this week because we need to crunch out the pre-release as soon as possible.

Minecraft - Tool repairing / merging "anvil"!!

Image
Dinnerbone just tweeted: " Sneak preview of what I started to work on last Friday: http://t.co/5mNsw6AF Level costs are subject to tweaking, but I want them to be high " As you can see on the images below you can combine two different tools, which will merge their enchantments into one, aswell as their damage value. It seems that you can also rename the tool since there is a field called "Diamond Pickaxe" under "Repair & Name" It is most likely going to be able to do this since they implemented the NBT tags in the last snapshot.
