Minecraft 1.7 snapshots are here! Today I share the new things I'm most excited about from the 13w36b snapshot, while trying to learn some more video editing skills.

I filmed all of this in the 13w36b snapshot, but pre-generated a little bit of the Mesa terrain in 13w36a for the video. I hope you enjoy it - I've highlighted the new areas I cover down below.

Let me know in the comments what you're most looking forward to in 1.7 - for me it's the new Mega Taiga biome or /summon EnderCrystal :)

If you find this useful, I'd appreciate you sharing it with your friends and giving it a Diamond - by clicking the button above, thanks!
