And custom sounds,
Better maps, that's kinda good, I guess.
BUT now witches spawn naturally in night? Ohhh, and I hate witches already. Dang, now I have to fight them constantly during the night.

But at least I can get rare witch drops more easily now. That's bettah.

Oh, hey, we travelled back in time 70 days...this isn't as bad as when TU2 came after TU11 for the Xbox, though....

EDIT: Now it's fixed.
I was hoping they would "clear" the glass some. Those look much better~

They're not as common as other mobs, I think.

When I looked at the picture quickly, I thought Mojang added rainbows.

Hmm... I hope jeb is not an active member of these furums.

None of the Mojang members are active members.

The sound change didn't fix the error I've had since 1.6. https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MCL-169

I'm liking the improved stained glass though.

Interesting sound updates. I'll have to play around with these. Also bravo and good job with the new stained glass.

Are there not going to be any more biome updates though? Cause really, oceans seem to have become worse. They're just deep gravel pits now; you can't even go diving for clay in them anymore. Oceans may be smaller, but they're more boring than ever now!

Theres a big problem I'm having, and it is probably dealing with the sound update cuz when i try to change the volume in the "Music & Sounds" tab I get a crash report
