I am SO GLAD they implemented the old unused Enderman sounds. I LOVE that Stare sound. It should cut off when you're not looking at them, though.

The textures were changed in the last snapshot.

I feel like an idiot now. I didn't play the last one. *headdesk*

call it a learning experience, the changelogs we get in these posts are not inclusive of previous changes so you aren't alone in seeing something new and thinking they must have just added it

Bats should seek shade within (insert number here) block radius when you spawn them in sunlight.

they actually do, but only when not being 'disturbed' by player presence or other non bat mobs

when will they do an update instead of an snapshot?

They just put out a release 6 weeks ago. The next one will be Halloween, since it's a Scary update.

I like the new walking sounds. So much quieter when walking on grass, and not the constant khskhskhs sounds. Actually, I like all the new sounds, and can't wait to see more work on the sound engine, good direction. Love the bats. Been waiting on those a long time, nice to see something flying around. Maybe if bats go well, we'll see some birds soon that nest in the trees. Overall, great snapshot, now to test all the features.

Can you please implement a way to select which mobs spawn normally in the world, so we can turn off things like endermen, witches, ect.

I bought minecraft as a survival game, not a fantasy game filled with magic, and I would like the play my game without having to deal with all these fantasy elements. I can choose to not enchant, I can choose to not make potions, I can choose to not go to the end, but I am FORCED to deal with these mobs like witches and the like. I like the difficulty of being zerged by spiders, creepers, zombies,and skeletons. I simply do not want to be forced to deal with some new game feature I cannot stop. (For instance, you don't like mine shafts and strongholds, you can turn them off in the generation options no problem. But you are forced to deal with mobs.)

Bottom line is, the implementation of First-Party mob control would allow one to enjoy their game and play it how they want (like turning off creepers for some, or spiders for others) without resorting to Third-Party mods.
Mobs can be toggled with difficulty, but that's an on/off switch. And peaceful can get very boring with nothing to kill besides cows.

TL;DR
Implement individual spawn toggles for mobs without needing mods to do so.


Also, please don't impliment trash mobs like zombies drop diamond items, it takes the little remaining challenge and hard work remaining (some call it the fun aspect) out of the endgame. Minecraft was a lot more difficult without the hunger bar regenerating health. So please don't remove ALL the challenge aside from fighting monsters from the game. Note this is a survival game, not a hack and slash dungeon crawler, if i wanted to play Diablo 3 I would do so. I don't want to just be using my fists and suddenly get a random diamond tier item and just like that be almost invincible. So please reconsider the diamond drops from mobs. (iron whatever, it's everywhere anyways, but diamonds by design are RARE and hard to get.)

When they have enough content to put it into an update. A update which was small (like this snapshot), would be very dissapointing. Also it would have a lot of bugs, if they didn't make it a snapshot first, so that people can report bugs.

Halloween exactly, or near Halloween?

I would love to have pet bats
y they could carry you around through the air after you tame
them and build them a batbox to live in during the day

I might tolerate the bats, but the witches??

This is going to be a pretty scary update..

The witch texture isnt working for me. Does anyone know why or how to fix it?

yay villages were added back to super flat worlds, also is it just me or do the lamp post spawn more? they look much nicer like that
also they should add in a option to go with the old sounds rather than the new ones

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw a little baaaaaaaaaat <3

I love this sound update !!!
I like bats and witch they're so cool!

But they should do Realistic Sounds:ON/OFF for some people who wants orginal sounds

witches appear to be pretty powerful and may be limited to Adventure or perhaps spawn in a new structure. (Towers anyone?)

YES, only Adventure Maps. Or towers. I really don't want them in my game of Minecraft.

actually the more I think of it, a witches tower structure would be pretty awesome, brew-stand and cauldron , possibly bookshelves, with plenty of nasty traps on the way up ... give the witch level a nice balcony from which to hurl potions at approaching players ... mwahahahaah

Sorry buddy, but you and everyone else bought the game as is and Mojang has the right to change the game to how they see fit. Don't like the new stuff? Just don't update your game or go find/make mods that suit your wants.

I mean a update with the command block and the beacon
