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!
lol yes, it already does that, they grow 1-3 blocks tall
The second thing could either be the colored lighting of the sand, the fact that there's a horizon, OR the one thing that it seems nobody has yet noticed:
I believe there is an ocean in the background. I think this is a beach. Just something to think about
BEACH HOUSES! same as a regular house but with sand!
Someone mentioned an alternate posibility that it's quicksand or some other hazard, hidden in the desert- but a left-handed view would be interesting. or maye the is the dual-weilding they hinted at... so many possibilities.
Left hand is holdin dirt!
It is just a raised sand block...
