Not sure what this means but thought I'd post it anyway

Famous last words by @notch who just wants to do superfluous (but awesome) feature before release (he wont)" http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_
Maybe it's very soon now...
I forgot to mention that this was a reply to notch's tweet:
"notch Markus Persson
*pokes beds* Grr"
Ah, thank you for clarifying that, I am still getting an ancient message whenever I click on Notch so I wasn't sure.
i thought scarecrows are still just a rumor.. if this is true, it'll be cool for traps and stuff.
Sadly, they are still a rumor, and I agree, they'd have a lot of really handy uses. Although, I would prefer that they repel passive mobs so I can put out dangerous traps without worrying about hurting anything cute, but the rumored use is most viable and useful, sadly.

I wonder if the feature that Notch and Jeb's were talking about was something like the ability to use colored wool and have the bed reflect it? That'd be something pretty superfluous but awesome, I'd reckon.

I must say, this thread is definitely better than that other one by "that other person", if only because it isn't being trolled by the creator. Could use a bit more organization but I am not an organized fellow so that's fine by me.
Anyway, I don't see Scarecrows being implemented in this build, though it might be cool. I would rather see something like the beans implemented so that we can have brown wool and the ability to turn wheat in to blocks and half blocks for thatched roofs. Also, we can haz update nao? It's been over 2 hours (I think) since the last tweet saying that they were testing the game again after possibly finding the source of the memory leak. Either that, or Twitter is lying to me about when it was posted.
I think the most interesting part of that tweet is that notch poked a bed. I don't think they'd be running around having fun with beds if their testing was coming back buggy.
Makes me thing this really will be released today :happy.gif:
It's funny, because the proper way to report a post would be to report it and leave it, not to act like an arrogant child and publicly announce that you reported the post, whilst adding nothing to the thread.
Short version: Stop acting like a child. Don't spam.
On topic:
I really hope the update comes out today. It will be so much easier to make songs with note blocks, although I am disappointed that they decided to go with delays of "1,2,3,4" instead of by powers of 2.

We need to stop talking about the thread with problems after this point, however, otherwise they might take this thread from us.

According to someone on my server, one the IRC they said servers can update to 1.3 but clients not yet.
Once again this may be a false alarm.
This thread is now the OFFICAL topic for Update 1.3. Keep it clean, stay on topic, and OP, keep it updated!
