Minecraft is an incredibly popular block building game that has swept the internet in its glory. Now, the iron hand of Minecraft will become even more powerful with the upgrades forged by the 1.3.1 patch. This update changes just about everything in the game.

The whole LAN capability is making Minecraft one of my favorite inventions of this decade.
