Minecraft 1.7.4 Featuring Twitch Broadcasting is Now Available

Following a brief open beta period, we’re pleased to report that Minecraft 1.7.4 is now available and features integrated Twitch broadcasting baked right into the game itself. As we’ve covered previously, Twitch for Minecraft features one-click streaming to your Twitch channel, with support for a microphone and integrated Twitch chat.

To get started, fire up Minecraft today and update to the latest version. Once you’ve finished updating, proceed to the in-game options and select “Broadcast Settings” to begin inputing your Twitch credentials. Twitch for Minecraft is currently available for Windows (Vista and later) and Mac (10.7 and later). Once you’re all set up, the default hotkeys are as follows:

F6: Start/Stop Stream F7: Pause/Unpause Stream F8: Show Commercials (Partners)

Let us know what you think about this exciting new integration, as we’ll be sharing the feedback we receive with the developers at Mojang. Thanks!
