Minecraft Update thread

[Star Knight]

"But! We (especially Jens) have added a bunch of new content to Minecraft that we want to get out asap, so there will be a content patch update next week with a whole pile of fun new toys, including a water mob and quite possibly paint if we can figure out how exactly it should work."



Let's see how long Notch Time is.

Do not want water mob


Well, sort of want, this will be interesting. Can it swim up waterfalls? OH GOD NO MY SAFE WATERFALLS

[ZargonX]

Sweet.  The prospect of a water mob does make me a little nervous, though...

Ignoring that creepers don't work right underwater that would be an entertaining idea..

as of right now, there is a high probability that we will keep the old minecraft version for at least a day or 2. I am not going to run a vanilla server anymore. The plan is to post instructions here and on the web page about how to keep your minecraft client running the old version if the updates breaks the mods (as we know it will)

Ah yes bugs. The alleged plague of Minecraft. We have dismissed that claim.

I hope it's sea turtles and you can ride on them like super boats.

[beep beep diglett]

i hope it's giant sea turtles you can build on

[PyroZombie]

I want piranhas.

I want to make a tank of piranhas, that I can make people fall into.

also Sea-creepers are fucking awesome.

I hope the water mob is that giant fucking eel from Jolly Roger Bay in Super Mario 64. Shit is terrifying.

Shit son, I was terrified of that thing. I don't think I even completed that world. Granted I was 7 but w/e

Minecraft Beta 1.2 is live. All servers need to be updated to 1.2.

New features:
* Note blocks (right click to tune, trigger to play)
* 15 wool dyes
* A new water dwelling mob
* New tree types
* Reeds magically turned into sugar canes. They still make paper.
* A bunch of new crafting recipes
* One secret useful block
* One secret pretty block
* Cake
* AND MOAR, probably. I forget!

Bugfixes:
* Paintings work in multiplayer
* Disconnecting while riding no longer keeps the player in the world
* A bunch more state is properly synched in multiplayer
* Fixed colors going weird on PowerPC
* Fixed a horrible chunk reload loop in singleplayer
* Fixed most lighting bugs in newly generated SMP maps
* Falling sand behaves better in SMP
* Fixed a few crash on load level bugs

Yay Paintings!


I am excited about dye for wool, I've been hedging by bets and collecting it, hoping for this.


Apparently the new water mob is a passive black squid


sheep are colored




New tree, birch.

[Solace]

Bug time! :3

Anything I built on top of these blocks was invisible



Plus a few randomly lit areas at night

Our server is now running 1.2 with a server wrapper instead of a mod, no /home, no /spawn and no /playerlist.  Try #help to see what the server wrapper can do (not much).
