Merry Christmas guys and welcome to the 2nd edition of The Miner the weekly Planet Minecraft newspaper that lets you be in control , in this weeks issue we'll be discussing about mobs and is Notch going a bit overdrive about how many naturally spawned mobs he's placing into Minecraft, but first I would like to apologise for the technical issues we had last week with the page layout.

In this weeks spotlight

MOBS

Yes today we'll be talking about mobs, no not mods, mobs. Mob - short for mobile or monster these computer controlled, non player characters (or NPC's). Over the past few updates of MC a whole host of new mobs have started to appear. Is Notch being to mob friendly or are we just getting to protective about Minecraft.Here are some of the new mobs that were released in the recent 1.0.0 update...

Enderdragon

Snow Golem

Mooshroom Cows

Villagers

Magma Cubes

Blazes

All of these were introduced in on update and some would say that this is ruining the loneliness and simplicity of MC but some state that it just makes Minecraft better! But these aren't just the only big mod updates Notch has said that he is going to release three more mobs in the next few updates.

These are:

Pigman (A pig that walks and moves like a human)!

Fish (A mod that can be found in rivers, lakes, streams but not swamps).

Red Dragon (An aggressive/passive mob it is not yet known but what is known is that they will have a lair)!
