    Minecraft Update 1.8 Is (Officially) Live</h1>
    <html><body><p><p><br/> We know that Minecraft version 1.8 (also known as the "Adventure Update") has been available via semi-official methods since late last week, after a Mojang developer released the update with the approval of the studio.  <a href="https://aare.xyz/">Aare</a> If you're not feeling like chasing down the file,, you can now grab the patch via the Minecraft launcher, where it has been made available to all users.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> This isn't something we thought would cause much concern to our more technologically-savvy file-hunting readers. However, if you are concerned about downloading an update to your game which could be a bestiality virus, you can download the update today without any worries.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> [Thanks, Richard.]<br/></p></p></body></html>
