A bunch of games are launched every year, and they get moderately successful too, but there are only a few games that remain as popular over a decade after their launch. Minecraft is one such game. This is a sandbox game that allows gamers to mix their creativity with their sense of adventure. They build stuff, and they survive night after night. It hardly gets dull.
The other reason for it never getting dull is that Mojang, the developer of Minecraft, does not want to let it go. They keep making small, but meaningful, additions to it. As part of this initiative to keep adding new things to it, they have recently teased something that has the whole Minecraft community scratching their heads.
Minecraft is teasing something, and fans cannot contain their excitement!
Minecraft started life as an adventure sandbox game with building mechanics. It ended up being such a success that it made one of its creators an instant billionaire. It was launched back in 2011, and today is available on almost every platform imaginable, from Nintendo 3Ds to Chrome OS. This game is everywhere.
With such a reach, it makes sense for developers to continue working on it to provide fans with something new every now and then. The best part is that Mojang hardly disappoints in this department. Over the years, Minecraft has received a steady stream of updates, adding small new updates to its massive world.
Now, it seems this stream will not be ending anytime soon, as developers have teased something very interesting on Minecraft’s official Twitter account. They posted a screenshot of Minecraft with the “Respawn” and “Game Menu” buttons.

These buttons are not very important, though; what’s important is the scene behind it. It appears as if the character just died and a bunch of items are lying around. A bunch of fans have spotted one specific item that does not look very familiar to them.
After this post, every gamer out there has bombarded Mojang with questions. They genuinely want to know what’s up with that item. Let’s be honest, it can be anything; it can be a new item or simply just something that the game already has.
Whatever this item might be, one thing is for sure: it has created a buzz amongst fans, and they cannot wait to find out what exactly it is. Some of them are guessing that it might be a gauntlet. Yes, the gauntlet that one wears on their wrist.
Let’s not forget that Minecraft fans love gauntlets. There are numerous Minecraft mods that can be installed to add a gauntlet to them. Some even add Thanos’ infinity stone gauntlet to the game. Hence, it comes as no surprise if the developers decide to make their own official take on Minecraft.
Whatever it might be, an official confirmation would come soon enough. After all, every tease paves the way for an announcement and release.
The fan reaction to this tweet is nothing short of exciting
Ever since Minecraft’s official account made this post, fans everywhere have been beyond hyped. They cannot stop guessing what this game is going to bring them next. Maybe there’s a chance that some of them have already made a correct guess.
Is that purple thing a gauntlet?

This would only be confirmed when Mojang wanted to confirm it. Till then, fans can continue enjoying Minecraft as it is.
