Minecraft Update thread (1.8 Discussion)

Well, this may take some time to iron out everything.
Still, I expect 1.5_01 in about a week. Usually they patch things like this pretty quickly. That or another no-version update. Hopefully done by then, but I'd say about two weeks for everything, including mods and plugins, to be running as usual.

Just some late night speculations :P

When it rains the mobs stay out during the day as the clouds block the sun :eek:

Bukkit devs are cracking on now as I speak. Hopefully they'll have a stable one within the next 24 hours

Just read up on it now. Apparently only one new feature, but it's and automap! Looks pretty cool if this is a genuine pic:

cherryghost · 23-05-2011 12:46pm

It is yeah, has to made out of paper obviously :P

There's also supposedly proper pistons, skyworld and something else he hasn't revealed yet, as well as network and bug fixes. Also the nether will be 100% fixed for multiplayer

Genghiz Cohen · 23-05-2011 1:58pm

Trapdoors?

pablomakaveli · 23-05-2011 3:02pm

I think Notch mentioned trying the Skyworld in his twitter but i didnt work very well so maybe that mightnt be included.

pablomakaveli · 23-05-2011 3:23pm

Looks like it'll be released Wednesday or Thursday.

They could have gotten in by breaking that block in the first picture.

Yeah, someone dug down in my chapel building in Cherrytown too, and broke up one of my library blocks in the town at spawn. I know it's nothing major, but if it's not griefing either put up a notice saying sorry, or replace it.

(Ps, what texture mod is that, Xenon?)

Its LB Photo Realism

Looks like a good patch...

Trapdoors (If that is what he means by "Hatches")

Long grass (no longer able to get seeds from hoeing grass have to go through the long grass) (PS I hope that means Pokemon lol)

Map

Nether for Multiplayer

I guess I need to save my minecraft.jar file for 1.5 now so that I won't be left waiting for the updates.

cherryghost · 24-05-2011 11:44am

Moved posts.

Some network fixes in the patch too so fingers crossed the lag issues will be reduced/fixed

pablomakaveli · 24-05-2011 3:09pm

It'll be great to have the Nether active now as well. Maybe we can attempt to build a little town in there though the ghasts might make that difficult.

Maybe not a town but a fortress!

Sounds like a great team build :P

pablomakaveli · 24-05-2011 9:07pm

Will the towny mod be implemented after this update?

cherryghost · 24-05-2011 9:19pm

It's on hold at the moment but if it is because of the server instability stuff, but from what the patch notes say it seems Notch has fixed it somewhat. So yeah, I hope it will :P

humanji · 26-05-2011 10:30am

1.6 is out now for those who want to give it a whirl.

Edit: and almost immediately, 1.6.2 is out.

And it's crashing every couple of minutes. Not even freezing, just quitting completely. People may want to wait for a few more updates to it before updating.

Right, at this stage I'm willing to call it a buggy mess. It crashes all the time, you get moments when every block except lava disappears, there's a strange bug where you use planks to fuel a furnace but the planks never run out (this ones actually quite handy), and the lights keep going out.

cherryghost · 26-05-2011 11:53am

Cheers Humanji, I'll keep the server running on 1.5 in that case. Was going to run it in Vanilla 1.6 but don't see any point if it just keeps crashing.

seamus · 26-05-2011 1:39pm

Yeah, 1.6.2 seems pretty buggy. I found myself trying to swap out an old pickaxe for a new one and when I clicked on the new pickaxe, the old one disappeared.

I also found that by right-clicking a single iron block into a furnace, it would create a new iron block in the furnance and leave the one I have "grabbed". I can create an infinite number of iron blocks (keep right-clicking). I have 400 of them smelting right now

Genghiz Cohen · 26-05-2011 1:40pm

Won't my client update as soon as I log in?
Won't that stop me from playing one the 1.5 server?

humanji · 26-05-2011 1:42pm

I've noticed that sometimes if you left click a group of ore blocks, all but one disappear. It's a pain in the hoop!

Kepp right-clicking and you should be able to create as many block as you want. Or with furnace:

Stick a single coal block in the bottom row. Take a single block of anything which you can use in the furnace, and right-click, then again, and again, and again. And you can keep creating them to your heart's desire. Got a few hundred gold blocks smelting now, this'll make mining for diamond much easier.

ShadowHearth · 26-05-2011 2:04pm

so how do you make the maps and trap doors? whatsthe receipe?
