Surface generated villages / strongholds





Slimes now spawn in swamp biomes



Beams changed again

I think I preferred it when it used recycled graphics and textures. It not only better showed what it was made out of (like pistons, rather than using a super new texture) and overall looked better. The old beam was much more superior to the new one in terms of aesthetics. Lord knows there's no way in hell I'll be crafting all THAT in survival.

The beam texture looks pretty random, more like a solid SPINNING POLE rather than, well, a beam.

The level costs will be really expensive and have a limit. You won't be able to use it too much.

Q

It says 'Repair and Name', does this mean you can name your pickaxe and give it a name? Like Stanely?:D Probably not..

A

Yep

When all this stuff was being added so quickly, I was on the side of people saying that Mojang needs to stop. But now that I take a step back and look at all the new stuff together and as a whole, I see that 1.4 is going to be a good update. Good work Mojang =D

People easily forget all the additions , that's the point of this whole thread . a visual compilation of all the goodies.

Wait, does this mean there is a repair table? or are they adding something to the enchantment table?

Hey dinnerbone, you should add something to buff up zombies even more. Have them spawn in packs of 4-5. Maybe even 6-7. That would be awesome.

Mother of god, a way to preserve enchanted tools

Mother of god, a way to preserve enchanted tools

I KNOW, RIGHT?!?

Oh, god. YES. The single most annoying thing about repairing is enchants go bye bye... also the fact that we will be able to rename items without using McEdit and Sir Mr. Lord Master Epic Redstoner SethBling's Methods

Combining/Reparing Enchanted gear. Best. Thing. Evar.

With how much XP is required to repair enchanted items, it looks like this is another endgame addition like the beacons. On the other hand, we can now repair items with good enchantments like looting or silk touch!
Now watch as I accidentally repair a sword with bane of arthropods...

A little birdy told me the minecraft team is going to add a new dragon of some sort....*Cough*Cough**Red Dragon**Cough*

Don't get your hopes up. Dinnerbone doesn't care for the iddea, and Jeb doesn't want to add them.

Anvil.
