Okay, this really needs to be clear, because too many people are complaining about the "new EULA".

THE EULA HAS NOT CHANGED.

Servers were technically supposed to be following these rules all along. The only difference now is that Mojang will be enforcing the rules.

Seriously, can we put a banner at the top of this topic or something? This is a widespread misconception that's hurting discussion.

• And many more that weren’t on the bug tracker so we couldn’t mark them as fixed! Did I mention please report bugs? Thanks.

*facepalm*

I certainly appreciate the bugfixes, but get rid of the contradictory snapshot messages.

Hmmm.
If there is only one item in each timer, the clock will trigger in under 10 seconds.
If there are two items in each hopper, the clock will trigger in about 111,569 years.
With three items in each hopper, the clock will trigger in around 4.16 quadrillion years. (For reference, this is about a million times the age of the earth.)

I can imagine many FUNNY builds with trampolines jumping bridges and circus stuff and things like that. This opens possibilities, at a reasonable cost.

Outside of marshes, slimeballs are a relatively rare item, way less ocmmon than a couple wood blocks, a little iron, and water. hus, a much "costlier" way -yet lengthier- to avoid fall damage. The only way it may seem "low cost" is that there currently are WAY TOO MANY slimes spawning in marses. Look in ANY direction in a marsh, and odds are you will constantly be able to see and hear slimes all around you. Making slimes less rare in marsh is ok, but more common by a factor over 100+? That's ridiculous.

Let's compare:

Typical Water-based drop-chute:

Build: 1x1 vertical drop shaft, water-above-sign-above-air-above-groun at the bottom.
Base Materials: 6 planks, 1 stick, 3 iron ingots, acces to water.
Effect: zero fall damage from any height, instant sto at end of fall.

And you can already drop from say an extreme hill high elevation straight into a natural pond or lake WITHOUT having to go down place the water first.

vs

Bouncy Block drop chute

Build: 1x1 vertical drop shaft, bouncy-block ground.
Base Materials: 9 slimballs.
Effect: zero fall damage from any height, may take a while before the bouncing fully stops.

How is that in any way overpowered, already?

I'm picturing a tripwire-based bouncy block chute, where a piston extends over the player's head to prevent bouncing.

definately the stackable doors will save space and the new types of stone can you still craft the weapons with them

They're variants of smooth stone, not cobblestone, so no, you can't create tools with them.

However, you can make stone slabs with them. Also, crafting a 2x2 square of granite or diorite will create their respective polished versions.

The new bouncy block is awesome! And on my birthday, too! I need to know what block ID it is to make a superflat world made out of them!

It's ID 165.

Slime blocks are crafted using 9 slimeballs in the crafting grid. They are a "bouncy" block, but they seem to have a scaling-down feature (i.e. if I fall on to one from 5 blocks up, I'll bounce about 3 blocks into the air). They remove all fall damage if the player lands on them. Though slime blocks appear to be transparent, they transmit redstone power like opaque blocks, and mobs can spawn on them.

Villagers now unlock two trades at once, and give experience for trading (around 1 level if you have no experience beforehand).

Villagers now have "names" which correspond to their class at the top of the trading screen. It seems that even villagers which were formerly of the same type have different names (e.g. some blacksmiths are now "Armorers", some are "Weapon Smiths", and some are "Tool Smiths". This also seems to affect the items they trade; Armorers sell armor, Weapon Smiths sell swords and axes, and Tool Smiths sell shovels and picks. All of the varients sell emeralds for coal, iron, and diamonds.

Priests will now sell emeralds for rotten flesh (I had to give 37 flesh to one, and 40 flesh to another, but it probably varies more than that.) They also will sell emeralds for ender pearls (4 ender pearls for one emerald) and will sell lapis at a rate of 1-2 lapis:1 emerald. (Finally renewable!)


Farmers will now sell emeralds for string (I had to give 19, but again, it probably varies.) A farmer sold me an unenchanted bow for 2 emeralds. A farmer bought 12 pumpkins for an emerald, and sold 2 pumpkin pie for an emerald. He also bought 9 melon blocks for an emerald.
The Gravel-to-flint trade actually became somewhat useful; for the price of one emerald, the farmer will convert 10 gravel to 10 flint.

The librarian's book-for-emerald trade has gotten slightly cheaper; it only charged me 9 books for an emerald, rather than 11-12. The written-book-for-emerald trade has gotten more expensive, requiring 2 written books for an emerald.

It seems that librarians can now sell more than one enchanted book at a time. This is probably a bug (see more at mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-44351).

The iron-for-emeralds trade has become slightly cheaper on blacksmiths; I got a blacksmith trading 7 iron for 1 emerald (in contrast to the 8-9 emerald trade from before.)

The trading menu will now update on-screen (i.e. the red X will appear over a trade without having to reopen the trading interface).
