She's a witch! Mojang developer Nathan "Dinnerbone" Adams said the witch will be a ranged attacker, and will use the "Testificate" humanoid model, along with a polygonal nose that will wiggle and twitch.<br /><br />Dinnerbone also hinted at a new animal type, while YouTuber Martyn (aka InTheLittleWood) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq5G4PoRr7U">posted a new video</a>, which shows NPC bats are on their way to <em>Minecraft. </em>They'll spawn not only outside at night, but in any area, under or above ground, if there's a big enough space. They'll also hang upside down, rather creepily.<br /><br />The new update should be out next month, so get your candy bags ready for then.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/22/minecrafts-latest-snapshot-has-a-witchy-woman/">Minecraft's latest snapshot has a witchy woman</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:30:00 EST.
