Minecraft

[RayRay]

Unless there are any emergency things to fix, I won?t do any more updates before 1.7. Going to E3 on Saturday.

I will be bringing my laptop to do some development, but I won?t be able to do much testing.

ONWARDS TO THE ADVENTURE UPDATE! *holds up sword, poses dramatically*

1.6.6:

+ Added a new use for bonemeal
* Changed the material of glowstone from ?glass? to ?stone?. This means you need a pickaxe to get resources from it
* Made glowstone drop more loot
* Made the recipe sizes for creating cloth blocks and glowstone blocks smaller (2x2 instead of 3x3)
* Re-introduced unlimited FPS, renamed the option again
* Fixed beds not working very well at all in SMP
* Fixed destroying a boat spawning the player too low, causing them to sometimes fall through the ground
* Boats float up to the surface quicker
* Boats falling down into water lose their vertical momentum very fast
* Removed Herobrine

The new use for bonemeal is growing wild grass and flowers. Also I don't get what he meant by "Removed Herobrine"

Same with the herobrine. Does any one know what that means?

[sly 3 4 me]

I don't really play much, but I believe Herobrine is the one NPC-ish type chracter which goes around randomly. It's a NPC which basically goes around trying to scare you. It would appear during times when you're mining or other such, you'd hear a slight noise, look behind you and you have someone staring directly at you.

And it makes me wonder what he means by "Removed Herobrine" as well...

Found this on Newgrounds today.

Tried it out, and it works really well.  Especially good for those people who aren't as good at making graphics.   ;)

Is the server down for everyone?

Is the server down for everyone?

Which one?

Igufeds.

I would try it now.  Made some changes to that machine and seems to be better now.

I'll keep an eye on it.

Post E3 information dump!
Hi! E3 is over, and we?re flying back to Sweden in a few hours. I have loads of information and news to share, so here?s a rambling information dump:

* Minecraft fans are amazing. I spent a fair bit of time at E3 signing t-shirts and cardboard heads, trying to speak with as many fans as possible, and every single person was super friendly and nice.

* It looks like we need to change the release date for Minecraft to be able to get a good venue for MinecraftCon. 11/11/11 is fully booked. One week later, perhaps? I?ll post more details as soon as we?ve decided and booked a venue.

* Minecraft is coming to XBox 360. It will be a new version of the game, designed specifically for console play. We haven?t decided on a name yet. It will feature (but not require) Kinect support, and is being released ?this winter?. It will be a 360 exclusive title.

* Minecraft is coming to Xperia PLAY. It will be a new version of the game, designed specifically for mobile play. This version is called ?Minecraft - Pocket Edition?. It?s built as a native Android game, and will take full use of the Xperia PLAY controls. After some period of exclusivity, we will release it for all modern Android phones.

* On both these platforms, I?m going to be more secretive about giving out details. This is because there are actual PR budgets on them, and I don?t want to mess up any big plans.

* I will be the game designer on both new Minecraft titles, but I won?t be involved in the programming as I?m focused on the PC version of Minecraft.

* We are working on Minecraft Beta 1.7, which I?m referring to as the ?adventure update?. We?re keeping the details secret so people can get surprises. The idea with this update is to flesh out the game a bit, making it reward exploration and combat more. Assuming we like them in play testing, pistons are coming in 1.7.

* I?ve now been to the Playboy Mansion! Woo! Not related to Minecraft at all, but I just wanted to share that. :D

* Speaking of not Minecraft related, I got to see the Skyrim demo (thanks, Tim), and it?s freaking amazing. While the dragons in the demo were obviously scripted (he knew exactly where they would land and such), they claim they?re fully dynamic and unscripted in the full game.

* We?re starting the modding support on a small scale with 1.7. We?ll be giving the source code out to a very VERY small group of people before the release of 1.7. We?ll use those experiences to work out the final details, then we?ll get the modding api out as soon as possible after 1.7 has been released.

* Again, if you weren?t ware, the ?modding api? is the entire source code for Minecraft, uncensored and unobfuscated. You need to agree to certain terms to get access, though, but anyone can apply.

!@#$ING A RIGHT!!
