The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here - the 1.5 Redstone Update is now live! Now, I know you want to jump into this massively awesome update head-first, so let's see what was added!
1.5 Features:
- Added Redstone Comparator (used in Redstone logic)
- Added Hopper (collects items and moves them to containers)
- Added Dropper (similar to Dispensers, but always drops the item)
- Added Activator Rail (activates TNT Minecarts)
- Added Daylight Sensor
- Added Trapped Chest
- Added Weighed Pressure Plate
- Added Block of Redstone
- Added Nether Brick (item)
- Added Nether Quartz and ore
- Added Block of Quartz, with half blocks and chiseled variants
- New command: /scoreboard
- New command: /effect
- Containers and mobs can have custom names
- Inventory management has been changed, for example you can drag-place items over slots
- Texture packs now have separate images for each block and item, and can have animations
- Nether Quartz Ore now spawns in the Nether
- Smooth lighting now has three settings (none, minimal, maximum)
- More detailed death messages
- Some hostile mobs now are harder in Hard difficulty
- Many, many, bug fixes - more than you can shake a stick at
- Removed Herobrine
Please note: There is a scheduled 1.5.1 update in the very near future, to iron out some of the few remaining issues with 1.5, and it will be coming soon. Tomorrow's Snapshot will reveal more of what is to come, so keep an eye out!
You might be wondering where to start, or what sort of indescribably cool thing to create first. With so many new items, commands, and blocks, it's almost impossible to know where to start first! I don't have any good advice for that, except to show you something SethBling made with the 1.5 assets in the pre-release:
Rocket golem, or gassy golem - you decide!
The 1.5 release is a big one, and there is so much to do! What is your favorite part of the update? Tell us about it!
Lovely version, i love red stone but, in the 1.4.7 my perfomance was 200 FPS to 250 FPS, but my perfomance in 1.5 was 100 FPS with slumps to 40 FPS.
Why? I would like to know mojang lords ... I need to play for those reasons i bought the game.
I want NOW a 1.5.1 or 1.5.100 with a perfect performance...
Look in "Options"
Lol, just started that is why, but I just saw them all, yeah, kinda annoying, going back to FTB -.-
Considering they're releasing 1.6 snapshots next week...I think your friend was wrong.
if someone canh elp me out that would be great hopefully 1.5.1 is comeing out soon to fix the bugd im having.

this thing is cool
its got
1.Hoppers
2.Daylight Sensor
3.Block of Redstone
4.new pressure plates
5.Smooth Lightning

It's OK buddy, he'll sneak back in and they'll remove him again in 1.6.
What I dont like, though, is that bone meal is slightly nerfed, and that they took out the awesome bug of being able to make a rapid-fire dispenser using a powered dispenser and constant block updates.
Do you just run your server off of your PC? If so, the server doesn't update automatically with the game, you have to update it manually.
That would only be a problem if the mobs need a new, pre-generated structure to spawn (ie witch).
No, the Xbox version is several updates behind PC. It will take time for the 360 version to catch up.
You have to wait for the mod creators to update the mods to 1.5 before you can use the game with mods.
They talked about "TONS of Features", and they added what? OOH I see it on my hand...not much...
There anyway allot of Redstone Bugs left, and the eintire Update wont add 1/8 of Redpower. I mean these Updates are ok, but not more. The only good thing for this is that ur able to build an Sorting System or something like that Vanilla (when you have TONS of damn Iron anywhere). Cuz this i think its more an try to update to Buildcraft (with half features, cause the Pipes are 100 times cheaper and better).
So the 1.5 Update brings not enought features for an extra update, and when you need an sorting system you will need Buildcraft anyway...well done -.-
And no im not an hater or something, but I thought about an awesome Redstone Update as Redstone Builder :/
