Testificates - New and Improved?
Jeb has been working hard on Testificates as of late, no doubt implementing some of the long-awaited features players have eagerly anticipated from them - including trading! The image above shows an example of the system he is currently working on, indicating that a barter system involving a form of currency is on the horizon. Finally, Testificates will do more than meander into your towns, panicking at the sight of creepers! Although that can be humorous in and of itself.
Showing a more humorous side, Jeb demonstrates his own personal method of something many players engage in with the often aimless villagers - experimentation!
Make of that what you will - no doubt they are being sized up for new shoes and fabulous prizes!
"You Are Minecraft" Finishes Off With Approximately 90,000 Player Models!
The massive player-driven You Are Minecraft project recently came to a close, with approximately ninety thousand player models, all constructed by players themselves! A number of notable personalities took part, including team members from Mojang (Jeb's model in particular is quite a looker). All said, the project was an incredible success, bringing in players from across the globe and uniting them in a single goal - make your player avatar in Minecraft! While model building is now closed, the "You Are Minecraft" team are not done - they wish to deliver this incredible project to Mojang in person! Want to help them do so? Click this link to see how you can help them bring this amazing project directly to Mojang themselves!
Custom Skins on MCX360?
While the XBLA version of Minecraft is, in many respects, very similar to Beta 1.6.5, a number of features were brought forth a little ahead of schedule, just to make the game that much better. Of course, more updates are on the way as they bring it up to speed with the PC version, and likely some gems designed specifically for the console. One thing that has come up a lot since launch is custom skins, and players will be pleased to know that they are not far off! Currently it is believed that the skins will be DLC for the game, although the specifics are not currently known at this time. Bear in mind, this can change between now and the release of skin customization, so keep an eye out here as we gather more information!
That was last week. http://www.mojang.com/2012/05/snapshot-week-20/
Well seeing you dont really know what week it is in the year, ill inform you. Its the 21st week of the year so it would be 12w21a, not 12w19a
The recipe we have now will still exist.
1st two = Upside-down pistons. 2nd crap-ton = New Gravel texture, or new block to replace it.
12w19a came out 2 weeks ago, this one will be 12w20a.
#1st Picture#
I would say you could make the new currency out of redstone (By smelting or putting it with glass in a crafting table), but then, what would the new ruby-type ore in the top right corner be for? I don't see why there's an upside-down piston in the background though...
#2nd Picture#
I still don't get what the upside-down pistons are for...
But I'm loving the new Gravel texture (Or new block to replace the Gravel roads).
Is that something I see on top of the house in the background? Could just be my imagination though...
What's the fun in that? I'm going to make a new Testificate model in Techne, just because I can :]
it will be 12w21a, not 12w20a. 12 stands for the year,w stands for week of the year, so if 12w19a came out 2 weeks ago it would be 12w21a, meaning this week is the 21st week of the year.
No. The second number is the number of the snapshot. So since they didn't have one last week, it's still 12w20a.
He didn't exactly "announce" it, he simply said he was working on a new block, and that it would be in this weeks snapshot, he never said a name or anything of what it will be able to do or what you will be able to do with it.
