Everyone's favorite indie sandbox game, Minecraft, has finally gotten a release date. Minecraft has been in development (or more properly "Alpha" and "Beta") for some time now, and will be seeing a "finished" version on November 11, 2011, putting it on the same release date as Skyrim.

An official post by Markus "Notch" Persson says that the final version of the game won't be that much different from Minecraft today, and that features will continue to be added to the game. The final version of the game will simply be a milestone for the developers to work towards and allow the title to shed its Beta label.

The upcoming 1.5 version of Minecraft, which is set for release next week, will be adding achievements as well as weather.

“There’s periodic downfall (snow in snowy areas, rain in others, nothing in deserts) that make the sky darker, hides the sun, moon and stars, and makes everything wet. Ice grows back in cold regions, and snowfall covers the ground when it’s snowing. During rain/snow, there can be occasional thunderstorms with lightning."
