You know that Minecraft is gold right from the beginning you played it, but here is the announcement from the horse’s mouth itself – the game has finally gone gold after a year of beta testing, making sure this will finally be a full fledged retail product that will see plenty of downloads happening in the process. Well, for those who want to dive straight into the action, all you need to do is head on here and pick up Minecraft Version 1.0’s release client. It seems that the code could not be any more complete, that the tweet informed reviewers to actually treat it as a review code, with the claim that should there be any changes made before Minecraft is released officially this Friday, it would be minimal.
