Minecraft 1.9 Gets Pre-Released, Also Gets Snowmen

September 22, 2011 by Ian Miles Cheong

The pre-release version of Minecraft 1.9 is now available, now with added NPCs and snowmen.

Snowy biomes—and who doesn't love biomes?—will be getting the addition of snowmen, courtesy of Notch. Snowmen aside, Notch has also announced that Minecraft 1.9 is now available! At least a pre-release version of it is. But hey, that's still pretty big news.

Notch says that the new snowmen will actually come to life—like Frosty the Snowman—and follow you around. I just pray there's no Jack Frost variety of deranged snowmen, though that'd admittedly make a cool addition to the game's ensemble of creepy monsters.

The biggest addition that Minecraft 1.9 will bring are non-player characters, who will populate the ghost towns with their NPC selves.
