Minecraft's Adventure Time Mash-Up will include themed blocks, music, character skins and more. You'll be able to play as Jake, Finn and countless others. (Tree Trunks not yet confirmed.)
There's no word on a release date yet, but the pack will be coming to all console editions of Minecraft, plus Windows 10 and mobile. Redododiculous.
There's going to be some ‘free' all over Xbox One and 360 Live this weekend, specifically between May 18 to 21. During that period you can play online without Gold membership, and there's also a limited time unlock of Minecraft: Xbox One Edition to play.
To get involved with the Multiplayer All-Access event you just need to log in, and obviously download Minecraft if you haven't already. Then enjoy a weekend of free multiplayer and block building. After it's over you'll have to cough up the cash or go do something else.
Still, if you've not paid to try Live before it should give you a taster, and if you've not played Minecraft yet then… wait, how have you not played Minecraft yet? How is that possible?

Considering Minecraft has sold an outrageous 121 million copies as of February 2017, chances are good that you've already tried it once or twice.

In addition, the Xbox Live online service is currently free for everyone on every game until May 21.
If you own an Xbox One, you can now download Minecraft for no cost from the Xbox store. In addition, players who don't subscribe to Xbox Live have the opportunity to play any multiplayer game on Xbox One or Xbox 360.
There's only a short window to check out Minecraft or play with your friends; once it hits 11:59 PT on Sunday, May 21, you'll have to shell out $20 for the game and $60 per year for Xbox Live.
This isn't the first time that Microsoft has offered free weekends; the company has offered Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, NBA 2K17, and Rocket League, among others,Xbox Live Goes Free For The Weekend Alongside Xbox One's Minecraft in the past. Meanwhile, on PC, Guild of Dungeoneering currently has a free weekend going on.

Parrots are a relatively new addition to Minecraft, and currently are fed using the game's existing chocolate cookie item.
Feed two nearby parrots, like any other Minecraft animal, and they will pop out a baby.
In real life however, far from being an aphrodisiac, chocolate can be lethal to parrots. Because of this, many Minecraft fans have raised concerns the game might encourage young players to feed pet parrots a sweet cookie treat and inadvertently kill them.
A reddit post calling for Minecraft's parrots to be patched has now received 37k upvotes on the official Minecraft subreddit – enough to become the board's most-upvoted post of all time, and for Mojang to take note.
“If Minecraft has any effect on children's behavior, we want it to be a positive one,” Minecraft lead creative designer Jens Bergensten told Motherboard, “so we'll change the item used to breed parrots.
“Our reasoning for originally using cookies was twofold; it gave cookies a reason to exist within Minecraft, and it was a subtle reference to the Nirvana song ‘Polly.' However, we didn't consider what the chocolate ingredient would mean to real life parrots!”
Parrots are currently only available in the game's PC version. There's no word yet on when they'll land on console – or what they will soon be eating instead.
Minecraft will patch parrots to protect real-life pets That'll save a large bill.

Nintendo Switch owners have been hit with a strange new bug since the release of Minecraft Switch Edition.
“I figured it was maybe a Minecraft bug, but then it was taking the random screenshots within the Switch's operating system menus while the Minecraft app was closed and not running.
“So now it is very slowly filling up my storage with screen captures that I never took.”
Bizarrely, the issue first cropped up during a Minecraft developer livestream, although it doesn't seem to be limited to the app.
Nintendo is yet to officially acknowledge the issue, but fans can expect a fix soon.
