For those of you waiting for the official release date of the upcoming console port, wait no longer - Minecraft will be available on XBLA on May 9th, 2012. It will cost 1,600 points. Awesome!
1.2.4 Update
The 1.2.4 update is now available for Minecraft! Mojang has been hard at work squashing bugs, and the inclusion of the Bukkit team has allowed a larger list of items to be covered in a short time. The changelog is listed below. To update your game, simply run Minecraft normally, and when prompted to update, allow it to do so. What was fixed for this update?
Fixed:
- Chat history and much better chat editing
- A few new decoration blocks
- “Back” and “Quit” buttons to OutOfMemoryScreen
- Made cats more realistic (read: probably annoying). I hope it’s enough to cancel out any joy you may receive from the previous feature!
- Added a “minimal” debug menu for testing with. Shift+F3 to hide the graphs.
- Made placing half blocks on existing half blocks (to make a full block) easier
- Limit framerate on menu screens, no longer uses 100% cpu and make my computer melt
- Fixed fatal crash for converted worlds to anvil, when there’s blocks at max height
- Fixed an old bug with signs clearing text while you’re editing them in SMP
- Fixed crash when logging in while there are blocks at maxheight at spawn
- Fixed TNT ghosts in multiplayer
- Fixed storage minecarts dropping enchanted items
- Fixed crashes on invalid server addresses when joining a server
- Fixed entities being uninteractable if they existed at login (Multiplayer)
- Fixed dupe exploit with paintings
- Fixed furnaces and dispensers dropping enchanted items
- Fixed the “flickering” of chat as it vanishes off the screen
- Fixed text rendering over items in the container screens
- Fixed exploit with jungle saplings (turns other saplings into jungle ones)
- Fixed launcher opening minecraft dir if the path contains a space
- Fixed an off-by-one lighting bug
- Fixed block transmuting (turning one block into another via pistons)
- Fixed placing mushrooms in daylight, where they can’t survive
- Fixed redstone lamps dropping powered block items when destroyed while on
- “save-all” (server) now works even when you have toggled “save-off”
- Fixed turning half-blocks into full-blocks while you’re standing on them
- Fixed seed displaying in F3 debug when the seed is unknown (multiplayer)
- Fixed villager texture changing clientside per profession
- Fixed falling off ledge corners while holding shift
- Fixed players falling when reconnecting to servers where they were previously flying
Special thanks to the new hires from Bukkit for this huge list of fixes!
Quote fromWhile I was away at Game Developer’s Conference and a short vacation, the new Minecraft members Dinnerbone, Tahg, Grum and EvilSeph were hard at work fixing multiple bugs in Minecraft 1.2. The patch contains mainly bug fixes, but we also threw in a couple of goodies:
Chat history
Much better chat editing and controls (you can even mark text!)
Some new decoration blocks
That isn't true though because I have picture proof here. Could someone please look at it?
Now we have to spend money on getting points, plus two stinkin' months?
Today is not my day.
I was in multiplayer and anytime i filled the chat box up to its max the game would kick me out. I'm not sure if it was the server with incompatible mods or what, but it was very annoying... Other than that I like the new updates... but whats this thing about cats everyone is talking about...
Please help me. By the way I have downloaded a few mods, but I have tried to use a new minecraft.jar (one that I have backed up) and it still doesn't work.
Please help
Stop your crying you little baby, Jeez. And a little FYI, the update does not change OLD wood planks. So it you had a building that was made out of birch it'll still be the same color.
And as for everyone else...If you don't like the wood plank texture,,just use the original one. the "oak" trees...its no biggie.
As for me, even though they are kinda useless until they add stairs and half blocks to match. I am very happy they added more "decorative" blocks... Definitley going to be creating some sweet stuff with this.
Thanks Jeb!
personally i think if you have already bought minecraft for the pc it should be free for the xbox. and vice versa.
Microsoft said no. To other companies.
so your saying Minecraft, and Minecraft for the xbox are COMPLETELY different.
im not sure but if it were completely different wouldnt that mean that it wouldnt be called minecraft and be a different game altogether?
you sir are a gentleman and a scholer
