Minecraft 1.7.2 Update

Minecraft, as you may know, is a mainly PC game, in which you can build fantastic structures, play multiplayer mini-games with friends, or try to survive in the wilderness to killl the Ender Dragon. It's regularly updated, and the 1.7.2 update came out last week.

Minecraft 1.7.2 introduced lots of changes, but we're only going to talk about the major ones. However, we'll leave a link to the full changelog so you can know all the minor tweaks and stuff we didn't cover.

• First off, there are lots of new graphical and sound settings. You can know set the sound of different things separately, like weather, creatures and player sounds. There are more graphics settings, as you can set the render distance by chunks and set a max framerate. Also, a new section called "Super Secret Settings" has been introduced, in which you can set Minecraft to use some cool shaders. And finally, in the technical department, you can finally sprint by holding down Ctrl or any key that you bind it to.

• New items have been added, like more flowers, red sand, stained glass, a new type of ice, a new type of dirt called "podzol", and fishing rod enchantments. There have been added lots of biomes, and they are now connected according to their temperatures, so the snow biome can no longer be connected to a desert, for example

So those are the changes we consider more relevant, but for a full list of the changelog, visit http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Version_history#1.7.2 .
