Minecraft News

Today Minecraft was updated to version 1.2.5. There are numerous reports on twitter from users saying they are no longer able to launch Minecraft. The game seems to be freezing on a black screen. Are you experiencing this? Let us know in the comments.

UPDATE: If you are experiencing the black screen, try deleting your Minecraft bin folder and then launch the game. This fixed the problem for me.
