Building on last week's Snapshot, Mojang continues the drive to give mapmakers even more awesome tools (and fix some bugs too)! What's on this week's Snaphot?
FEATURE LIST (MAP-MAKER EDITION!):
- /tp now supports rotation arguments
- Player selectors (@p, @e, etc) now support cubic areas. For example: @e[x=0,y=0,z=0,dx=10,dy=10,dz=10] gets all entities between 0,0,0 and 10,10,10
- Added /clone command to copy large areas to other areas
- Added a /fill command to fill a large area with a block

EDIT:
Skins have undergonie some changes as well! You can now set different textures for different body parts (instead of one "arm" texture, etc), as well as apply a "hat" layer to any body part, not just the head! Not enough awesome? What if you could toggle any layer parts on your body? You can do that too! Customizing your skin has never been easier, or more cool. Give it a try!
Be right back, I'm going to go server-hopping without my mask.
It's just a layer around the entire skin, that sticks out a bit farther. It's good for adding slight 3D effects to the skin. Like when you see people adding the extra bit of hair sticking off the head, or a when they actually add hats with part coming off. Cept now, you can do that for the entire skin. Obviously some people are going to find it more useful than others. Personally, I enjoy the addition.
You don't need a converter though. Old skins will still work for new versions of Minecraft. Both new skins and old skins work just fine. No need to convert anything. The only 'converting' you would have to do, is if you wanted to add extra stuff to your skin, using the new hat layer, or changing the 2nd arm/leg. And that, you'd have to do yourself, since it's actual skin editing.
I'm sorry what is /clone and /fill?
The commands added into the game with this snapshot?
I am wondering that too.
Now can someone fix the villagers in the Savannah and Desert biomes to not act like it's raining 24/7? They all cram into one house and are REALLY hard to trade with when they're sprinting everywhere, constantly slamming doors.
/fill: fills a cube region with a certain block. Either solid or hollow.
/clone: clones a cube area into another cube area. Either copying air or not.
but...
will skin viewer be updated to view the skin changes?
AND
How long before Nova Skin is able to update their skin editor so that you can edit your skin AND have it work Offline?
