Time for this week's Snapshot, 13w24a! Comprised mainly of bugfixes, there are a few goodies - or, in the case of textures, laying the foundation for goodies - in store, however!
FEATURES:
- Removed Texture Pack support, added Resource Packs
- Added new gamerule for day-night cycle
- Things and stuff
BUGFIXES:
- Mobs spawn and then quickly despawn in peaceful. Looks like the "ender-porting-out-of-water" effect.
- You can't get "The End?" achievement
- Persistence required tag freezes mobs
- Squids taking damage while in water
- Hard to spawn Squids
- Scoreboard "health" objective set to display "belowname" disconnecting player on multiplayer with end of stream
- Lava texture animation moves too fast / Animated textures ignoring text files
WAIT, MY TEXTURE PACKS LOOK ALL BROKEN AND WRONG AND...:
Nope, there is a new texture system now in place, in preparation for the future of the Mod API!
Quote fromWe’ve been working really hard on the new Resource Pack system, and we think it’s at the point where we can finally push it live. This is a huge step forward for the future mod API and will replace texture packs.
Unfortunately, texture packs will no longer be supported but you can use this fancy tool to automatically convert them! Please report all issues about resource packs, and the snapshot in general, to our bug tracker!
HOLY S**T
Vanilla HD textures?
I think it would be cool if Mojang added like 10 "blank disc" items that could have their audio edited in the resource pack. Then, you could have special music/messages in adventure maps.
For example, if you wanted background music or narration in your custom map, you would set the audio for one of these blank discs in the resource pack and then the narration/music would be played when the player put it in a jukebox.
The resource pack includes the textures, but makes it so that you can do more with them. Also, it allows the sounds to be edited.
How long do you think until someone makes a resource pack with the old fall damage, explosion, and bow noises?
Pretty quick. There are people out there who want the old sound. There is currently a mod for this. But the only old sound i like was the exp orb sound from beta 1.8
Maybe you didn't fully read the post, but the texture packs are not being removed. They're being replaced with resource packs that can change both texture AND sound.
Never mind that... After some more experimenting, it was a bug with resource packs and not the converter. Issue reported here if you're wondering.
Why is that on the list of bugfixes? It isnt fixed.
Nope not fixed! It's the same as the last snapshot.
Also, ftw this ss
sorry for sounding so stupid before, I heard resource was sound ONLY, not textures too!
Now i'm exited to see what people come up with!
I wonder what BDcraft will come up with sound wise
