Maybe you already had a few peeks at the new Power Coupling Block from the handful of videos put out by our Content Creators but now the time has finally come for all of you to play around with it and traverse the desert dunes like Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars (before he became a robot pirate).
That is of course not the only thing 1.7.4 has to offer. The blocks got cleaned up, there is now glow and chrome support on all blocks, and we have improved network performance and stability.
