Patience seaweed, patience. I think they might start around 2013, maybe right after or right before. Also, since you didn't answer my PM, are you known as doctorseaweed on other forums? Hint: DBF.

Once they get minecraft to 1.4.4 for good, then snapshots will be coming out as normal. I can expect that to happen in 2 or 3 weeks, depending on if Mojang makes a 1.4.5, which is likely when you think about it.

To all of you people who think Notch is still working on the game, he stopped working on Minecraft in late 2011. Get your facts straight and stop spamming his twitter about Minecraft updates.

It probably is. Remember how we had 1.2.4 and then 1.2.5 came out, and that was the last of the "1.2" series before the snapshots for 1.3 began coming out? There is a good chance Mojang will do something similar to that.

I'm still using Windows 7.
I said this. Two days later, my computer's motherboard melted down and I had to get a new one with Windows 8.
Considering 1.5 is supposed to have a engine rewrite, I wonder if the snapshots will be less often or irreular in their uploads. We may go a period of time before we actually see a snapshot.
I don't care, I know for a fact that the up coming snapshots are going to be the buggiest of the buggy snapshots. How? Two things: New lighting and new rendering engines. Have fun yelling at engines that are a work in progress.

The 'how did mojang **** you off' thread is going to be extremely popular!

Actually, you're right about the engine re-write in 1.5. In the Minecraft Wiki, Jeb stated that they will do an engine re-write, particularly in the lighting section, for 1.5
I think that they'll start sometime in December, because they are fixing less issues in 1.4.4 then they did in 1.4.3. I am assuming that 1.4.4 is the final version as far as 1.4 goes.
I think perhaps a more interesting topic is not so much when they will start, as to exactly what will be in the 1.5 update. Sure, lighting and engine, mods etc are huge, but what else? I'm sure they'll slip in some new mobs, new blocks and new features too.
I think 1.4.4 is a very good release. They can spend a long time getting 1.5 ready from here. There is so much they could do with this game, that's what is so exciting to me.

Irony in the first degree.
Praise be to Spode.

I agree. I've been avoiding playing waiting on the big bug fix patch to become final.
I also agree with others like Nerevar & Gerbil that this round of 1.5 snapshots are likely to be a little irregular and buggy due to engine rewrites.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..

Better than the old update format: just shove it out and hope for the best.
