'Minecraft' TU14 UI Revealed, New 1.7.5 Update Rolling Out and 100M Registered Users Recorded
"Minecraft" TU 14 is coming ever nearer, as 4J Studios promised that the update is about to be released for Cert testing.
Lots of people asking about TU14! We're busy finalising the content, and bug fixing. A few weeks to go before it's ready for Cert testing.— 4J Studios (@4JStudios) February 26, 2014
"Lots of people asking about TU14! We're busy finalising the content, and bug fixing. A few weeks to go before it's ready for Cert testing," said 4J Studios over at their official Twitter.
Previously, the most concrete update that 4J Studios has provided is a screen capture of the UI coming for "Minecraft" TU14. Included in the screenshot are a number of noticeable items that fans have taken note of.
Some of these include wolf collars and dyed armour. Another important detail is that all of the updates coming with TU14 will be reflected in the PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of "Minecraft."

Minecraft 1.7.5 Update Minor, 1.5.6 Coming as Well
Mojang has finally rolled out the "Minecraft" 1.7.5 versions update, which brings in three additions, quite small compared to the last update.
"Minecraft" 1.7.5 will be adding mini games support for Minecraft Realms and will improve server-side performance and fix a couple of bugs here and there. This "Minecraft" update will also be in preparation of bringing Minecraft Realms beyond Sweden, where it is currently being enjoyed by players.
For now, the team at Mojang has named Finland, Iceland, Norway and Denmark as the next target countries for Minecraft Realms, stating that they are targeting release for all Nordic countries.
"We are still working on snapshots for 1.8, but before 1.8 is out we already know there will be a 1.7.6 version too," the "Minecraft" team says, regarding updates for "Minecraft" 1.8.
"Minecraft" 1.7.6 will bring in new skin system support as seen in the previous snapshots rolled out and support for name changing (though the actual latter feature will be rolled out later on). More details and information will be rolled out at after GDC.
'Minecraft' PC Reaches 100M Users
"Minecraft" seems to be breaking all kinds of records, the latest of which is the number of registered users for the original "Minecraft" PC.
GameSpot reports that "Minecraft" creator Markus "Notch" Persson has announced via Twitter the good news:
I got an email. We've reached 100 million registered users on the original Minecraft. 14.3% conversion rate to paid accounts. Wow. :D <3 — Markus Persson (@notch) February 25, 2014
According to the report, this means that 14.3 million copies have already been paid for on the PC version.
