- Added a demo mode for non-premium users (won’t be available until Mojang does a full update)
- Added bonus chest option to create world screen
- Added option to enable single-player commands to create world screen
- Updated language files
- Bug fixing and tweaks
Paying attention? If so, you definitely saw the option to add single-player commands! Curious how it works? Wondering exactly what the "bonus chest" option does? Be sure to grab the client and server files below!
The "demo" game is designed to last for 5 in-game days, at which point the world will self-delete and prompt the player to purchase the full version of the game. While a demo of Minecraft has existed for some time, is has not, to date, been incorporated into the main game.
Dinnerbone has also stated that they will be changing the format of ops.txt, white-list.txt, banned-*.txt for 1.3, letting the community know well in advance so mod/plugin makers and anyone else who may tinker with the game can prepare for the changes. As mentioned some time ago in an interview with Jeb, SMP and SSP will likely be merged in the future, making it easier to run small, informal SMP games for friends without the hassle of server and community management. Large servers will likely still persist, only changing somewhat in how they are maintained.
Keep an eye out as we cover more exciting changes in the coming days!
I play Single player at home as I have no Internet there... (I go to a Friend of my sisters.... and they all play MC too...
I play online there mainly at my Sister's friends..... (I've owned MC for a Year now got in on since Beta v1.5 or so, or was it beta v1.3)
with no Internet Access at home.... will this Demo Mode Affect my Ability to play at home,
ie Deleting my worlds.... not allowing me to play offline...? ;_;
The new "Bonus Chest" is a note worthy feature....
we will start a new world with a chest containing some basic tools and food to survive off of.... decreasing the stress factors lol (if enabled when generating a new world) will we have to
Thanks Mojang!
You guys rock.
Demo mode may be for demonstration for potential customers. Why would you, an owner, need a demo?
Random Chests Will Appear At Random Places!
PS: They Will ALL Have Goodies!
The demo was an unofficial one by PC Gamer. This is the official one.
Piston Mod- Notch forgot the gravitational bit of it
Potions craft- Notch left out so many potions and stole the textures of the brewing stand and the cauldron
Single Player Commands- so many commands have been left out
STOP STEALING MODS MOJANG!!!
What I was saying is... they are incorporating the Demo mode code into the main game... so if I cannot login to authenticate my account
(ie offline at home with no internet) will the game think it's in Demo-mode?
. . .
OK, confess.
How many lego pieces did you step on this morning?
It's not like modders OWN what they do. It's still Mojangs game and they can decide what they do. Besides, point: EVERY SINGLE ****ING THING THEY COULD EVER POSSIBLY PUT IN THE GAME HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE VIA A MOD ._.
Thus they sorta HAVE TO rip off SOME mods to put ANYTHING in the game, so stop getting your undies in a bunch and realize that this is an entirely normal thing for them to do.
If the single play commands are like the, well, SPC mod, then friggin YAY. I always loved that mod because I have no sense of patience and committment but I gave up on installing the mod with every update.
Will you be adding this anytime soon or will this be with the next release? Personally, I'm more interesting in that than SPC.
no, as long as you have the launcher you should be good bro!
it's probably just needs to be authenticated at least once with your log in and u can play all u want offline and such.
you shouldn't really worry though.
It's also interesting that they are providing a pathway to link single and multiplayer, I hope one day I can play in a hardcore world with other people, could be fun.
As always I look forward to the official update (as I don't DL snapshots). And am happy they continue to create new content and evolve the game which I love.
How do you turn on off bonus chests and cheats?
Nice
