The latest Minecraft patch is now available for download. This patch is primarily focused on fixing issues that have cropped up since the release of 1.6, but Notch has made a few gameplay changes as well.

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

I have noticed that the properties of water have changed a bit. When you place a source block it now leaks.. and doesnt stay in midair like it used to. Can someone confirm this?

This update added more bugs than it fixed. When I destroy a block in Singleplayer, it gives me a full stack of it and the block stays there, but I can walk through it. When I walk through the block, I can see all the caves underground.

GUYS

Read this carefully!

I wrote a mail over twitter to Notch and he answered me ._.

I asked This: "I am very sure that herobrine thing in release notes was a joke, wasnt it?"

He answered: "Well, i tried to end all the discusses about That Herobrine guy. So i added that into notes. I hope you guys will stop with that now!"

Pics or it didn't happen. Not that I believe in Herobrine, just the fact that anyone can say something like that.

for reference: Herobrine was the villain of the Escapecraf adventure map trilogy(which is probably broken now because of the minecart booster "fix")

Oh no! A Herobrine joke! Notch, what are you doing?I hope the wiki guys don't see it and hit Notch with a hate grenade! Because, you know, Minecraft is serious business. No lore allowed.

You know, I've always believed Herobrine was real, but I've had my doubts. The reason I wanted to believe he was real was because it gives minecraft that feeling that you may not be alone and there is a slight chance you might encounter this unknown being. So I will continue to believe he is real because I love that feeling in minecraft. :biggrin.gif:

WEEEEEE Herobrine is gone , the no.1 problem is gone ^-^

Agree with you 100%... Personally, all this yak about something with no foundation in reality - virtual or otherwise - has had me grinding my teeth in an effort to stay polite with some of the more fanatical players.

"IT" is dead, having never actually existed, everyone; Let's move on to the next passing Fad...

(I say "it", because refuse to acknowledge it as anything but someone's bad drug-trip..)

Read closer to the front of this Thread; Somebody said it grows Tall Grass on grass blocks, since the distribution rates for it "naturally" occurring is still a bit messed up.

BTW, ... yw ...

He may have meant Herobrine Resource Files that were somewhere in the codes, or like previously said, it was a joke. Don't be quick to assume things, it makes you look like an idiot and is unflattering.
