1.8 Updates: Changing the Chests
Notch posted a new screenshot of two new additions to the game! The first is quite apparent (the opened chest lid) - can you spot the second one?
Check it out!
Edit: Not long after the first picture was released, Jeb offered up the following gem - vines!
(Note: For those that don't know, currently, cacti cannot be placed against other blocks, else they automatically pop out; this game mechanic is most commonly used in cactus farms.)
That being said, I could just be seeing it incorrectly, but few cacti appear to be growing directly next to sand blocks. I honestly hope I'm wrong, or the wrath of a thousand cactus farmers will be felt across the land. Speculation is speculation.
its a bug in 1.7.3 where you cannot face the east. that is another thing
hope notch DID fix it in 1.8 (as shown in his pic?)
maybe thats the second thing! xD
He is holding a sand block in his left hand... (It is not a pressure plate, because it is longer than the chest, meaning it would be 1,5 blocks long or so...)
I think it's sand block in Steve's left hand but it could be a higher sand block.
