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!
EDIT:
Apperantly, I'm not the only one seeing Elmo.
I hope at least I'll find a jar for when 1.6 is out...
run minecraft on another computer and then copy paste the jar file... its how i do it
It's not impossible. It's just really, really hard.
YAY MINECRAFT IS 4!! *sniff* We've come a long way :')
I wonder if that guy is a hint at something to come, or if he's just there for the lulz
I hate it when people don't bother to have a look at ANY of the previous posts before spewing their ideas out. For the millionth time...
IT'S GRUM (one of the Mojang employees), NOT ELMO!!!!
On a side note, nice to see the coal block texture has changed. Used to look a bit much like a retextured Block of Redstone to me.
Seriously, charcoal should be removed, making wood smelt right to coal. I mean, we have apples dropping from oak trees, and paper and sugar from the same reed plant, as well as hay bales made from wheat. Two similar items doing exactly the same thing, thought not with the same texture anymore, just doesn't make that much sense compared to the rest of the game.
No, they're simply retextured and have the ability to have chests on them. I know how you can jump to that conclusion because of the ears, but they both use the same model. The difference between horses and donkeys/mules is the ability to put chests on the donkeys/mules. Horses still even have the chests in their texture. If you really wanted, you could add the donkey ears to horses also, because they use the same model.
Also maybe add colored wood to the next snapshot? I heard it was to be added, and now I NEED it.
