Minecraft 1.3 Update Goes Live Tomorrow!

Had a chance to test out the 1.3 update pre-release yet? If not, the wait for 1.3's official release is nearly at an end - it goes live tomorrow! When the patch goes live, the client should prompt you to update automatically. If it doesn't, you can force the update to patch correctly by clicking the Options button on the Minecraft launcher, and pressing the "Force Update" button - easy!

We will be posting any updates that may have been included with the official 1.3 update; however, it is expected that the pre-release contained all the features present in the live version, to ease the transition for mod makers and texture pack artists into the new version.

See you in 1.3 soon!

I figured I would hit the 'force update' button mentioned to see if maybe it was already released *laughs*...
Then I realized something... I don't have a 'force update' button.
o.0
Is that going to be in 1.3 ? So I need 1.3 to force the 1.3 update? *laughs*
I just want to update so badly...

Oh yes! Important question,

Will the MineTV server be up for 1.3 by tomorrows show?

No it will not be updated to 1.3 when the show goes live.

Quote from bioha7ard

Umm, when will MineTV be up somewhere like youtube or something to watch? I have class every Wednesday from 10am-10pm and miss it every time =(

You can watch it on Youtube after it airs on twitch. Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/mcspotlights

This update is exciting because of the multiplayer aspect. We can now show our friends our single player creations. However, just having an update for the first time since what feels like forever is exciting, too. Even if it doesn't add a whole load of new features.

Stormandreas,

1.3 is supposed to come out on August 1st. Not at midnight your timezone though. It will be updated when Jens wants it to be updated sometime on August 1st his timezone.

It says there it will be updated tomorrow, and that was this morning for me, so in this post they are saying it comes out on the 2nd, not the 1st

It will come out on the 1st.
Do you not understand timezones? Sacheverall might live in the USA where its not the 1st yet. Whereas you ~~might live someplace~~ live in Singapore (according to your profile) where it is already the 1st, and where Jens lives in Swedan where its very early morning on the first.
So Jens (I'm guessing) will release it sometime in the morning for him (which might be afternoon for you). So whenever he updates it for everyone, it could be 3 AM for me, and 2 PM for you, we'll be able to update

Can you try not to be that rude about it. Yes I do understand Timezones, and I did not know that Secheveral was in America, whever his timezone is almost a full 12 hours different from where I am.

I am sorry if I appeared rude to you. It wasnt ment to be. I was just trying to help you understand that 1.3 might not be released straight away on August 1st. ^v^

I am unsure of where Sacheverall actually lives, I was just guessing.

I have counted over 250 new things (minor and major) added in 1.3!
And I would like to announce to everyone that if I were you I would back up your minecraft.jar right now, while we wait. This is for if you ever need or want to go back to 1.2.5 for something (Maybe you want to place water in the Nether) All you have to do is locate it (for Windows you type %AppData% in your Start search bar, enter it, open your .minecraft, locate the folder called bin and open it, then find the zip that says 'minecraft'. Drag that into a folder (prefferably empty one, called something like 'PreviousVersionsMC' or whatever you want). Then if you still want to play Minecraft before the release, just force an update to get another .jar back to play it.) After that you should be set for the 1.3 release. I hope I was of some help here, I am going to do that for every release now, just in case.

It's from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Look it up. 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

You said you didn't know how you got that rank. Now you say you know it was from that book. Which is it? And yeah, the waiting game does suck lol. Oh well. I'm sure it will be worth it. If not, here's an epic seed that will make it worth it:
-6313918071622485861
It puts you right in the middle of a village!
Also, there are two more villages somewhat nearby, as well as plenty of cave systems and ravines to explore.
Shoutout and huge thank-you to z3bbster for finding this seed. See the original thread here:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1139230-spawn-in-a-town-124-screen-shots-seed/
Before you ask, it still works great on 1.3. I checked with the pre-release. Trading time!

Oops. Almost forgot. Everyone should definitely check out Minecraft Land Generator, Minecraft Overviewer, and Minecraft Xray. Those programs are for terrain pregeneration, world mapping, and easy location of whatever blocks you'd like to locate, respectively. I'm getting tired though so I'm not going to bother posting links. Seriously, that's what Google is for. Plus they're going to update anyway, so why bother? They're not all extremely easy to work with, but they are very well-made, and they have plenty of options, functions, and benefits. Try them. You'll like them. Why wouldn't you? As always, remember to give credit where credit is due. And, as always, keep on Minecraftin'! Bye for now guys.

The sentence is from Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, but the rank is given from the forums. I don't know how you actually GET that rank.

You might not want to try them because you want to keep the game as natural and fun as possible. Personally, i don't see why you would want to have world mapping, or X-ray, as it takes the fun out of mining and whatnot. But whatever floats your boat i guess
