That's called nostalgia.

I don't think you know how coding an in-structure game works in minecraft. It is very time consuming as you have to place code for each block and each block as to have co-ordinates that move from a single block. chances are you are going to mess up at least once. This is a snapshot anyways so they will fix it and they are playing around with it.

What are you saying?

He says you are being bias and that lot's of things that you are stating are opinion. Just because you don't like them means they suck, I like them.

It would be interesting if someone made a lets-play series and updated the snapshots every week.

Etho does that, he has a fairly popular channel. If you mention him most people would understand what you mean.

Magic launcher still works without a premium account, just throwing it out there. Anyways it's most likely because of your hardware happened to my brother because he uses my dad's old computer,

It's been confirmed that bats will never have a drop, Dinnerbone tweeted it.

Yeah I saw this too, added it to the OP. Thanks for the positive feedback guys, hope this will help and make the forums a much better place. Feel free to add pictures and video because those help a lot too.

I'd like to make a thread to clear the confusion about myths and and such about the new and upcoming updates. I see so many people saying about things they don't completely understand about and people get confused. Feel free to contribute and I will edit the topic, please respect others though.

One of the first things I'd like to say though, if you hear something don't automatically assume that it's true; do some research before everything goes wrong.

The first major thing that everyone is talking about is Mod API, yes it was pushed back many updates but there' s a lot of work to be done. I don't know how many of you watched the PAX video but I skimmed through it a bit and the reason why they had to push it back again was rendering issues. I don't clearly remember why at the moment but they need to rewrite the entire rendering engine to start the modding api. Now rendering is a very difficult thing, which also leads to lighting issues that people don't like. Also it's not dinnerbone or Jeb that's working on the rendering engine, it's Grumm. I'm not sure how many people are helping him but I'm guessing it's only 1 person with a little help from others.

Another issue are the new sounds, look at this thread: http://www.minecraft...the-new-sounds/. You there's a video that shows you that theses sounds were actually made way back in Alpha. You may not know this but there are plenty of sounds in your resource folder that are unused, for example the level up sound the was recently implemented is NOT from the wisp in thaumcraft 2; the creator just used it because it was there and ready and you would not need to install the audio mod for that sound. I myself used it in my mod a while back. If you don't like the sound, you'll get used to it trust me it happened to me when 1.9 pre release came out. I raged hard but I got used to them, and if you still don't like them don't worry C418 said there will be a way to changed it sometime.

Not really an issue but to save people from disappointment is that bats will NOT drop anything, if you're wondering why dinnerbone said that bats are just supposed to add atmosphere and they will NOT affect your mob grinder rate; don't be mad you you think they do. I hope they will add birds or fish to add more atmosphere outside, this is just my opinion though.

These are the most discussed topics right now, feel free to add anything because my knowledge of the development of Minecraft isn't perfect but I follow it a lot.

Anyone else tried a rollercoaster instantly when they got this update, it sounds so awesome!

At PAX they said to start working on mod API, Grumm needs to rewrite the rendering engine first which obviously takes a really long time to do.

Wow this looks much better in my opinion, I'm sure that most people don't really like it is because they are to used to the older ones.

Edit: I don't know why but these new textures reminds me of summerfields food texture.

How do you fixed the image?

I use http://cubeupload.com/ It's super fast and easy, and works with MC forums. also, when something becomes a link, press the "unlink" button, next to the link one on the editing-font-change thingy. glad to help!

That's not the reason why, it's because all you did was put in the link. What you need to do is put these tags "[.IMG] your link here [/IMG] " without the quotation marks or the period in the first tag..

The wither effect also regenerates the withers health and probably the wither skeletons health as well.

He's talking about the maps being zoomed in and thinking large biomes was causing this, The new maps are now a 1:1 ration to the actual land. You can zoom them out by putting your map in the middle of the crafting table and putting paper all around it.

I agree, I did notice that the textures seemed mod like but like other textures we will get used to them.

They also fixed lighting glitches for me!

Nether mob? Probably, or the end. They're missing content.
