It's Snapshot time! Builders in particular will be happy with this Snapshot, in addition to anyone who felt that the donkeys should've been useful for hauling around loot! Check it out:
ADDED FEATURES:
- Added new stained hardened clay
- Enabled access to the donkey & mule inventories by sneaking and interacting
- New textures for Charcoal, Coal Block, and Lapis Lazuli
- Made mobs spawn as groups again
BUG-FIXES:
- Minecarts with Furnace consume coal in creative mode
- After the last use of a bow you get a glitch bow that when dropped and picked up again duplicates
- Coal blocks do not burn away
- Blurred menu background textures
Be sure to get the new Minecraft launcher (if you haven't already), by clicking here, and selecting the launcher for your OS!
Remind me where Mojang promised to add coloured glass this week?
Gameplay convenience > realism. And good luck having to reupload the textures every single time there's an update.
My thoughts on other things.
New lapis texture > Not much different than the old one. It's just darker with a border. It does look better McGamer will be happy!
New charcoal texture > Nice to see the 2 types of coal having their own texture.
New Coal block > I really cannot decide The screenshot below shows old with new next to OB
Obcidian does need a new texture. It's ugly as #$%@#!! I'm currently using the basfalt coblestone texture from redpower!
Just make a texture pack out of it. I bet a lot of people would be interested in a "1.5 textures" pack.
Nice job mojang, but i do prefer the old lapis texture. no matter though, because i'm using my own custom texture pack for everything now.
for anyone wondering, it is a private texture pack.
