Has there been any information about when 1.7 will be released yet? I like to wait until the update comes out rather than doing the snapshots. I have also been trying not to find out everything about it but that is not easy when my husband & son are playing with the snapshots & they are really excited by all the new stuff. I like to be surprised, lol. I am hoping it will be out soon becuse the bits I can't help but overhear sounds like the next update will bring a lot of new things. I just hope that there are more things to expore like the temples because I love finding chests full of goodies.
If you look at history, it's typically 3-4 months between releases depending on how much core stuff they change.. 1.6.2 was beginning of July. Given the major changes they've made so far for 1.7 and then taking into minecon at the beginning of November, I suspect it will be around then.
Thanks for all the info. I don't keep up on all the information that comes out so I am glad that others do. It sounds like there is not an official release date yet though. Given all the new stuff I am sure that it will take time to test it all & it is better not to put out a release date then have to push it back. I was also thinking they might wait until closer to Minecon since it would be a fun time to release it.

There's no confirmed release date, but my guess is November 14th.
If I'm right I get a million invisible non-usable dollars.
No, Matt. You get access to Lester's basement. Or was it your basement? Who knows.
But yeah, there isn't a confirmed date yet. Besides, knowing Mojang, even when they do set a date, it's likely it'll be delayed beyond that point, or the initial release will be rather buggy and require a patch the next day.
What happened with 1.5? All I can think of that went wrong is there was a lot of planned stuff that ended up getting scrapped (BUD switch block, minecart connectors, unloading rail), and having 1.7 released later would make that less likely to happen again.

I agree that the snapshots & testing is good so when 1.7 does come out there are not too many bugs. Hopefully it won't take too long to test out because what I have seen looks great & I can't wait to play it. I try & wait for the release so that I don't have to play a game with too many bugs. Also I like to try & not find out too much about an update so I can be surprised.
That said I have a son & husband that got so excited about all the new stuff they shared the information. My son did it in a fun way though, he asked me if I wanted to know a bit after he saw information about it. I could tell he was really happy because he could hardly sit still. I said sure but I don't want to know much so we played a guessing game. It was very fun & what I didn't guess I didn't get to know. That worked out great because he got to share with me but understands I like to find some stuff on my own. Whenever a new update comes out I explore & my son will tell me hints. He will also tell me about things he knows I won't discover like redstone uses because I don't create things that use pistons & so on. He will show me what he created though using the new stuff.
Now with the new info on 1.7 my husband was on his computer (we have all three set up in our basement computer room). He didn't really know I didn't want to know more about the new update & told me to look what he found while playing. I didn't realize he was using the new snapshots, lol. So I know much more than I planned on but that has made me hope that it now comes out soon. I will still wait for the update & try not to learn more between now & then. That is also why I ask here & hope that people will post if they hear about an official release date as I am trying not to read or do any searches because I end up finding out more about the update when searching for a release date.
Oh, wow, strabodragon! You're the opposite of me! I want to know and see everything as soon as it's released! (I'll bet you wait until delivery to find out the gender of your children, too. )
It's driving me up the wall right now that I'll have to wait until I can do some computer upgrades (due to CPU heat issues) before I can actually run the new snapshots, so I'm having to make do with a couple of threads that have copious screen shots.

I guess I viewed having children different because I did find out that I would be having a boy before my son was born, many years aog since he is a teen now. I guess some things I do need to know as soon as I can. I think with minecraft though it is fun to be surprised in part because my son loves watching me find the new things & giving me hints. Now he knows all about it before a new update comes out because he is like you & reads & watches everything he can about 1.7.
I did read a tweet from Dinnerbone today that said Nathan Adams @Dinnerbone3h
Today is both a snapshot of 1.7 & full release of 1.6.3 day.
So hopefully people that want to know will get some more information about 1.7. I am looking forward to the 1.6.3 full release but so far it doesn't look like it is out yet.

LOL!

That's cool that you can all enjoy Minecraft as a family. We're like that, too. Do you all play together over a LAN, or just individually?

Interesting! So do you consider 1.6.3 to be a release that you will play, or are you waiting until 1.7 comes out?
EdenR I will play the 1.6.3 since I consider that a current update & not a snapshot.
As far as how we play, it really depends on what mood we are all in & that is one of the things I just love about minecrarft. It is the only game we all play because there are so many different ways to enjoy it. Usually though my husband is creating worlds like his latest golf course world then my son & I play it to help test it out & because it is fun for us to all play together sometimes. My son is into mods both using & creating which beyond my computer skills. The other day I wanted a way to test the speed of my horses so my son hopped into my game & helped me make a track so I am glad we have the ability to do that. Other times in the past we have all played in the same world because we like doing different things but it works well because I can go mining, my husband & son can fight of the mobs (I get motion sick so I need to be careful not to spin around too much), & we can all help build up the town. I also usually work on setting things up like animal pens, food (my so always seem to starve at some point, lol) & so on. My son & husband along with extended family also do quite a few lets play worlds & create videos while they are playing to upload (backyard films is the name my husband uses for his videos).
Our cats also like it because they can watch the screens & try to catch things, take turns sleeping on our laps or desks or jump on the keyboard & "help". One cat is 1 year old & the other is a almost 4 months old so she is still very much a kitten. In fact Arwen is on my lap now. We are lucky to have the room in our basement where we created a computer room with three desks in a row so we can all chat, show what we are working on & as a parent I can keep a close eye when needed on my son & what he is doing on the computer.
Because of all these things I think Minecraft is my favorite computer game even if at times it is not what I play the most. When new things come out though we all play Minecraft probably too much.
Has there been any information about when 1.7 will be released yet? I like to wait until the update comes out rather than doing the snapshots.

Let's hope that doesn't happen.
