I realzie Im not the first person to ask, though I can't find a threat in the first couple of pages to help me out (not lazy, just impatient). When I copy over the any of the .jar files after 1.8.1 I dont get any of the new textures (I didnt think to check until recently, b ut noticed it first in RC2 creative mode). How can I fix this?
Fairly sure there's no new textures. If you mean sounds, then that's a bug. You did just copy the .jar file into your bin folder?
