Realm News

This week, we cover Mojang's post-holiday return, with a special heads-up on a potential new snapshot release, teased by Wattles for January 8th.

We delve into the buzz surrounding Markus Persson, also known as Notch. Notch recently conducted a Twitter poll that revealed an overwhelming majority of interest in a spiritual successor to Minecraft. We discuss our perspectives on these developments and their potential impact on the Minecraft community.

Today, I have a very peculiar episode for you. It was an impromptu episode that I had to make due to a cancellation from a guest.

But, it turned out to be a great episode. In this, I read my very first theory that I made over Minecraft. Which was posted on Reddit a year ago.

This first theory helped encourage me to start Realm News. It is my personal theory over the Mushroom Field Biome, and how it led to the zombie apocalypse on the Overworld.

I will then read a few comments from fellow Minecraftians who made posts to my theory.

I hope you all enjoy it!
