[Cloud_9ine]

[beep beep diglett]

Notch was just streaming over on Brocraft. Here's a big list of all the stuff that went down.


- He says he may add ham sandwiches
- He wants to add coins. He likes coins in games.
- He wants to make alchemy magic, and would use it for taming animals. No fireballs or offensive things. More fun, less war.
- He wants to add sharks as a passive mob.
- He will most likely keep the spawns where they are, as you can't move them, but he may add teleporters.
- In game maps or visualizers? Almost certainly. It will be a craftable object.
- Boxers, not briefs.
- The riding pigs was a joke. But there will be some animals you can control like... flaming birds?
- As said before, he wants to add prefixes, like flaming birds, shadow creeper, etc.
- Very creepy mob he may implement: Mobs that only move when you don't look at them, much like Weeping Angels from Dr. Who or Boos from mario.
- Kill notch, get an apple. You can make this into a golden apple.
- The dungeon/ruins have a small chance of having golden apples.
- Magic may be used to make monster spawners.
- NO advanced trading, just dropping items...
- There will be LAN play, so you can play offline.
- NPCs? OPs may be able to add NPCs, but it would be "very complex"
- Notch fixed the "Last thing mined disappears" bug in this update.
- He will probably heighten the skybox, but not soon. No infinite hight, ever.
- He wants to make more uses for flint and steel.
- He tried implemented fences, but it "went all horrible".
- Grappling hooks? Maybe.
- Powered minecarts are confirmed.
- Zombie Seige will not be in it's own game mode, and zombies will be able to break blocks. There will be certain nights were the moon will be red or something which indicates a zombie horde.
- Notch dies in lava really fast.
- Music changing in different places? Sure.

I'm taking a break for a bit, someone cover for me!

Back.

- Grates? He will add that.
- Notch has Hedgehog a name? Sparkles.
- Maybe fast travel.
- He likes the idea of land flags.
- You can steal stuff from other's chests.
- He will add slimes. It's going to be more of an annoyance.
- Notch gets suprise-attacked by a monster.

Never mind. I'm back.

- Crafting beds could pass time like oblivion and possibly recover health, but maybe only food could restore health.
- Sleeping in SMP could be a ten minute break where you can't get back to the server for 10 minutes.
- The water is "too much work and really, really difficult".
- He likes the idea of clouds slowing things down, and being physically active with the player.
- He may make Diamond last longer, and iron last longer
- He may make diamond last forever
- He will add enemies that spawn deep down, but aren't afraid of light.
- Facebook integration? Maybe?
- Mineville. It's going to happen.
- Cobblestone next to mossy cobblestone will be turned mossy.
- Boats? There may be mulitple kinds of boats if it's needed.
- ctl-click functions sound good to Notch.
- Mandatory eating or drinking? Nope. Maybe you lose health when cold, though.
- Gayb- I mean, Rainbows with gold at the end?
- Notch has seen the facebooks and the twitters.
- Megabeasts will be persistent, and so will certain tagged mobs. (editor's note: YES)
- 1000 livestream viewers!
- More liquids! Oil?
- Blocks that can be placed on top of redstone dust, nope.

Someone cover for me. PLEASE.

Back. I heard that oil will be used for lanterns, he wants minecraft on steam, and there is no forced player limit for SMP.

- Cobblestone next to water turns mossy
- Everything that gives off light gives off heat/melts things in the current game
- Red stuff will not be made into sentries
- Notch finds Gabe Newel attractive and admits his furry fandom
- Summoning can be done with rituals and magic.
- There will be dyes
- If you make a compass, it would display the direction on the item, not the UI.
- "Doors that look like rock?" "Possibly"
- He doesn't smoke weed "right now" and tells us that drugs are bad.
- Rana is gone forever
- No stackable food
- Siege weapons confirmed
- Food may stack in furnaces, but can be only pulled out one at a time
- Stronger bows? Not really, but he wants to "mess around with the arrows"
- *Gabe Newel Fat joke*
- He may not add the old trees back, but may...
- "Ah, I'll just add them in." (Trees)
- Rain will affect the world like snow, but he's not sure how. Irrigation or possible puddles. "I wanted to do it but it's complicated."
- You will connect to servers through direct IPs and by the client or web page, and LAN servers won't have to confirm with minecraft.net.
- Possibly achievement. (You mine 10,000,000 blocks, etc.) Maybe hats.
- "[Hedgehogs] could be a good idea! It hurts if you step on it."
- Lava could possibly be an alternate heat for furnaces, but it wouldn't last forever.

QUESTION TIME

Is notch a martial arts master? Nope.
TF2 is this European war-themed favorite hat simulator.
Notch has a fedora. A really expensive one.
He did not expect to be still working on it or for it to be this big.
Notch thinks that shared accounts are good for advertisement, but doesn't like them much.

- Leather armor would be what cloth armor is now, and cloth armor would be cloaks and capes.
- No bouncy platforms.
- No jetpacks.
- He likes the "super crazy flying spells" idea.
- Obsidian tools
- The tutorial levels will be a short level with "lots of signs" and would be teaching them about the fact there is no real point.
- Ghosts!
- After a while, this will be opensource and something with API.
- He likes the idea of letting owners of the game looking though the code.
- Farming will be more diverse with more food. "Pumpkins, carrots, some day I'm really going to go crazy with that."
- Wet sand, then it will turn into dry sand which will just stay there. When touched, it would fall.
- "We should have a ritual that makes blocks glow" "Absolutely"
- If a nun and a midget walk into a bar, what happens?" "Probably a punch line."
- Road system where you move faster.
- There may be horses or donkeys.
- He wants all the monsters to be evil, and all the animals to be good. Make-believe things - bad. Real things - Good.
- No unlockable crafting recipes.
- Notch loves achievements.
- Unique events could be achievements, like when you ride a pig off a cliff or mine your first diamond. He ways he wants them to be things to get new players to explore new parts of the game.
- Notch is going to end the stream, and show us some multiplayer footage! It's jsut going to be the bare bones, but a development none-the-less.

MULTIPLAYER TIME!
- Players are invisible at the moment. It seems like nothing different than what we thought. It seems there is no breaking animation. He will release some early versions.
- In the first version of SMP, you will not be able to fight enemies with each other, as monsters will be clientside.
- There will be PvP servers.
-Erp, the server crashed. It looks like water isn't working. He thinks that a player got attacked by a monster and died, thus crashing the server.
- Oohh! The SMP server he has is infinite! He says he will be starting with the hard stuff first...
- Buckets will melt as soon as you place lava out of it.
- "When are we getting chickens?" "I don't know..."
- He wants to add elevators.
- Natural Disasters
- Single player maps can be used for SMP! (Editor's note - my town can be used!)
- He's going to fix the "F" glitch.
- Moving lighting is really hard and nauseating.
- Thrown torches!
- To-do list is no updated anymore.
- There will be crouching. "When you press the crouching button, you won't fall off cliffs"
- There will most likely not be an explosive larger than TNT, but there may be a ritual.
- Maybe transmutation circles with red stuff?
- He says he's fine with people doing anything in single player as long as they are having fun, but will no allow cheating in SMP.
- There will be fish particles, diving, and coral.
- Flame retardant suits!

Installing Java VM so I can start a MCC server to stop Nitrous from whining, box hard-locks during install, server gets fucked - the virtualization software on the host side says it doesn't even all over the virtual server.
