Since everyone knows that Minecraft's raked in a cool $33 million so far, Notch has taken it on himself to in the style of a rock star, make it rain. In a series of Tweets this morning, Notch revealed that Minecraft beta update 1.5 will include precipitation in the game, which may be a game-changing feature, such as watering crops, putting out fires, filling small holes and the wolves being soaked. In addition, Moistening Wolves is the exact name of our new, indie noise-rock band. Notch included a photo of the weather effects at the borders of two game biomes, showing off some kind of fantasy-like world where distinct rain and snow systems are allowed to play together and have fun. We contacted our local meteorologist to find out whether this was a phenomenon that could happen in real life, and he was astonished. MINECRAFT SKINS
