"Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition" Beta 0.12.0.1 brings a lot of bug fixes, as well as a few fixes on the achievements sections.

In other news, a report comes from Tech Worm where a dedicated fan gave his own take of celebrating "Minecraft's" debut on the Windows 10 OS. According to the article, video game designer Spencer Kern assembled a PC with "Minecraft" in mind. An image on the article shows his creative touch on the PC, making it look every bit like a redstone, a mineable block in "Minecraft" that is used to power things such as lamps, Minecarts, and automatons. Kern apparently wasn't satisfied with designing only the CPUr; he also created a matching keyboard, mouse, and gamepad in celebration of the momentous occasion, as seen in this image that appears on the very same article.
When asked about his purpose, he answered that it "was meant to be a celebration of not only the new Minecraft Windows 10 Edition Beta but also the launch of Windows 10 itself."
