Being able to climb vines now is amazing.

Also breeding wolves... :3

 

[soju]

Lol I feel outdated due to the last time I played it was the free classic version a while ago. No there's these sploding' creepers and wolves? Dang XD

 

[Deleted member]

man I wish they would jsut make the client more stable, less ridiculous memory usage and such instead of just heaping of half finished things

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I need to stop being a bum and start playing this game on a whole new world again.

Picture of first jungle creature...

As Mojong's style, it's hiding

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

[Pikaville]

Wow, so much stuff has been added since I last played!

 

[UncleSam]

it looks like the new mob AI still has work to do...

EDIT: I've been playing the snapshot and I noticed that ocelots don't take fall damage.

Minecraft 1.2 is bringing some BIG changes

• Maximum build height has been increased to 256 (was 128)
• Empty sections of the world are not loaded into memory
• Block ids have been increased to 4096 (was 256) by adding a 4 bit data layer (similar to how meta data is stored)
• Block ordering have been changed from x/z/y to y/z/x in order to improve compression
• Packets for sending chunks have been updated (a full 128-high chunk is smaller than the old format, and a chunk with lots of empty space is much smaller)
• Biomes are saved per x/z column, which means they can be altered by tools

This isn't everything, this is JUST the changes to maps.


The one I like is that Biomes will now be able to be altered

 

[Deleted member]

build height doubled? nice. also seems like some nice performance optimization.

 

[Wiscus]

Preparing the game for better mod compatibility is pretty sweet.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Testificates will be able to breed now...

Thank you jeb for that image. You made my Valentines day complete...

 

[ZIO]

Oh wow at the build height.

I can't wait to get on that when I have the time.

I hope this old laptop can still play the game.

 

[UncleSam]

so the new snapshot is out and on the changes list I noticed that there's a redstone activated light source... Wonder what it is...

 

[Dastrn]

A redstone torch, perhaps?

 

[UncleSam]

redstone torches give off light, but it's too low to prevent hostile mobs from spawning.

it's called a "redstone lamp", kinda cool.

 

[GwJ]

So basically, you can now give your lights an on/off switch. Here's to making more realistic houses.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I replaced ALL my glowstone on my maps with those already.

...

Baby Testificates are the cutest things ever!

 

[UncleSam]

Zombie invasions in villages during night.

they also break down doors now.

 

[GwJ]

WHAT?! Zombies will break down my wooden doors now?

-_-

 

[UncleSam]

on hard/hardcore mode.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

In villages, they break down doors and try to kill all the villagers during nights.

Assuming two villager's survive the night, they apparently have a high breeding rate

Lego minecraft mojang ad thing...

Spoiler

dafuq did I just watch?

 

[GwJ]

Can Testificates fight back?

 

[John2k4]

No, I don't believe they can.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Villager's can't defend themselves in the new update...

Instead, they have a new mob that spawns in their village called "Iron Golem"

You can make Iron Golems like you can make Snow Golems by making a T with iron and putting a pumpkin on top of it. They have noses like Testificates

Also - Updside Down stairs. An aesthetic option I've been waiting for

 

[Disaster Master]

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Yeah, Endermen will teleport to ANY dry location if it's raining. Including your house. Whatever you do, make sure you don't look it it's eyes

 

[UncleSam]

am I doin it rite?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

What I REALLY want in minecraft is a better water shader.

I'd even love using the basic 16x texture pack with a water shader.

Unfortunetly, even though my computer is pretty good, it slows down whenever I play minecraft. Don't know why

what settings are you using? also try installing the optifine mod.

http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/249637-11-optifine-hd-d6-fps-boost-hd-textures-aa-af/

it helps a lot.

 

[JonnyW]

Whats the deal with the endermen?

 

[Oasis_S]

When was the last time you built something, Psycho.

 

[Disaster Master]

He's my new roomate. I charged him a week in advanced, but he's only going to live until morning.

 

[PostmortemMessiah]

... I should probably look into some of this new stuff. I decided to hold off on Minecrafting for a while since 1.8 so I could get into more new stuff later, but this looks pretty interesting in and of itself.

Also, that is some very nice water.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

When was the last time you built something, Psycho.

Well, right now I am constructing a town for Testificates for a fun little mini game of defending villagers from zombie attacks.

If you make more buildings they'll continuously breed to fill the remaining buildings.

However I hate the buildings that Testificates actually start in so I'm constructing it by scratch.

It requires a little strategy. It kind of reminds me of old sims like sim earth or sim ant.

 

[Disaster Master]

1.2 is out now.

 

[GwJ]

It's so cool how the villagers get attacked each night. I have a seed (Seed is called "Season2") where you spawn right in a village and I set it to hardcore. I'm basically building up the village and it's pretty sexy. It's awesome how the villagers run away from zombies and close their doors and hide in the corner while the zombies are breaking down the doors. I hope the villagers respawn though

They make babies.... lots and lots of babies....

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Yeah, as D_M said above, they will continuously breed during the day to make up for their loss of population.

You get child Testificates, which are surprisingly cute.

Iron Golems spawn to protect them, buy you need a large village
