I think that this is official, because juze made it?
In before others, and when Beta 1.6 is out, this thread will be stickied, most likely.
like happens always.
i think you should add pistons to speculations. no confirmation yet. (he said 'not in 1.5', this does not mean that they will be in 1.6)
And there was a 'new web item' or something like that.
WEB ITEM is in 1.5,only pistons are confirmed that will be 1.6,"YEA,NO in 1.5"
what did notch mean when he was talking about map items? I hate his blog/twitter sometimes, because it makes me feel stupid for not knowing what he's talking about...
OP should be organized into sections (and then all future versions of this thread share the same sections)
- Confirmed additions
- Confirmed bugfixes
- Speculated additions (things that are confirmed, but not known what version [pistons])
- Confirmed not in this version
just a thought

supposedly it's an item (much like the clock and compass) that provides mapping functions for the nearby area
think - zan's minimap, but much much less powerful
... I hate these threads. Why would we sticky this thread when the patch comes out and have to skip thru the 5-10 pages of useless crap that's been posted pre-patch to get to the content. How about a thread is made for the latch when the patch comes out?
Also... notch confirmed already that 1.6 will add the new map item and nothing else new at all expect bug fixes.
Nah, I think giants were just implemented in the coding for the shits n giggles. I don't think it's going to be in the actual game. It would be cool if they were a rare mob, and that they would drop valuable items when killed. (thus, for example, meaning the giants would have 5x the health and strength of a regular mob)
I forgot where I saw it, but Notch said the Modding API won't make it for a while because he's afraid it won't satisfy the crowd or be flexible enough for modders.
He's looking into alternatives or other solutions, though.
