VERY IMPORTANT:

Please note that this page looks like it was copy and pasted because of the white text, I would like to inform all of you that it technically WAS copy and pasted, but not in the way you think. My mom has been driving around the state looking for dogs to adopt, and being so I have been in the car for the past few day. During that time in the car, I would write all my blog posts down in the notes section on my I-Pod. When I returned home I then emailed it to myself, then copy and pasted it from my email to this page. Thank you for listening.

This Post will be organized by the estimated percent of Minecraft players that know each fact about the game.

Please note- This post will be updated whenever I learn more interesting facts. If you know something that isn't on here make sure to leave a comment and I'll put it on right away!

At the moment, there is an insanely large increase in Minecraft sales, which means more nooblets! :D

I knew it all (besides the weight of a golden apple irl but wtf xD).

Btw, cacti cant just not grow with any solid block next to it, but they cant grow with ANY block next to it (so both solid and non-solid blocks). Having an entity next to it (for example an item frame) wont break it.

Hm. I came here to rant a bit, as most 'did you know' Minecraft blogs don't have anything new in them.. But I've been playing the game for a year now, and some of your tips here are new to me.

Diamond and fav. :)
