Out of curiosity I constructed a tower in hell and dug upwards... top of the map is covered in bedrock/adminium, placed just like the bottom layer in regular world.

Ha! Confirmed you can "knock" the fireballs back that are shot by the Ghasts. Have only had success with bare hands, although the timing is critical so might have just not connected with anything else equipped.....being chased by a dozen ghasts is both fun and sucky at the same time lol!
nobody seemed to mention this, so i'll share 2 updates i've found.
1. There're now sunsets & sunrise, you can see the sky turning red-ish. It's quite beautiful, really.
2. You can now look at your character from the front, press F5 to go into 3rd person view, and then hold F1 and pan around.
Yes, sunrise/set is a nice addition indeed. However, the F5 thing was already included in previous versions
Edit: moved to relevant thread.
uhh, i wasn't talking about F5, I mentioned F5 just so you can get into 3rd person, but the main part i was talking about is F1, when you can use it to pan around. U obviously have to be in 3rd person (using F5), and then use F1 to pan around to the front of your character, and then you'll be able to take a screenshot of it. People have been wanting to do this before and now they can.
Update FACT: It's way, way slower. Used to play at normal @40-60fps, now I play at a short distance @15-20fps. If near my castle @8fps and have to revert to tiny :\. Fancy graphics is a no go now.

Whoops, didn't read that last part, silly me. I actually found that out by myself by testing random buttons. However, I noticed that the character always turns to look at the camera when you do that, so it's only slightly more helpful. What if I wanted to have the char looking somewhere else?

That must have something to do with the new grass/leaves coloring system: the game applies a different color to a base grayscale texture, depending on the biome. It must be heavy, considering how many grass and leave blocks there are. I also noticed the lag, but my fps were already higher than 80, so the only way to see the difference is by keeping F3 pressed.
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but it seems like there are WAY more monsters now than there ever were before. I checked the difficulty and it's still on normal... Before the update I would only encounter 2 or 3 monsters if I stayed close to my house, now there are 15 plus.
This is really weird, I just found a mob spawner in a cave that I KNOW didn't have one before. I also found two chests that I didn't make right next to it and one of them had a saddle in it. I thought you could only find saddles in a dungeon? (I'm playing single player survival)
yeah i just entered hell, and that "red mossy cobblestone" is just a plain purple rock in my minecraft, is that a problem? should i upload you guys a picture of it?
Don't know if this was posted yet but a small bug I noticed.
The leaves on trees don't disappear anymore. Also, when you break apart leaves, the animated chunks breaking off are grey.
Not a big problem though. That's what flint and steel is for.
Don't know if that's just me, but I found 3 strange facts after the update, and I don't know if they are supposed to be the way they are right now.
1st- As they said at the first post: we lose everything on our pockets when we die. Theydon't drop and wait for you to reclaim them anymore... Damn I just lost my golden watch to a Creeper! Dirty *******...
Is that supposed to happen? Are we supposed to be so damn afraid of death? - This one is fixed.
2nd- I did a portal underground, and close to a wall, because i didnt want to simply pass through it if i ran towards it. Ok. Then I died in the Nether, and when I got back that were a random portal in the normal word on the surface! I used it and I appeared in the same Nether portal. Then I died again, and ANOTHER random portal appeared! And using it I went to the same portal in the Nether!
3rd- I simply can't find any cave/dungeon/lava anymore! How am I supposed to get Obisidian now?
I dug to the "center" of the world, when I found the undestructible rocks I started to dig sideways. So I dug... and dug... and dug... and NEVER found any caves, like those HUGE cave systems we found underground. Never found lava either, and being so deep should lead me to lava easily but... no lava.
No dungeons, no caves, no lava. Just me digging around a solid world without holes in its ground.
P.S.: To try it make a new game, don't use the old ones because you will have the caves already generated.
The third one is really making me mad. Let me know if that happened to anyone else. I will try and start a new game just to see if I can find caves. Maybe this is biome related and we can only find caves in forest biomes?
@tiagoyoh: that thing about having no caves is quite odd. If I were you, I'd upload the level.dat somewhere and post it here, just to be sure.
Ok. Uploaded it to my 4Shared account. Here is the link: http://www.4shared.com/file/AjhDmtkT/Level_Dat.html
Hope anyone can give me a hand. I cam still digging around to see if I can find any cave.
Ill post here if I have any news.

Sorry but you need a better computer. Fancy graphics working just fine and my computer is 4 years old...custom build. My travels across the map is not as laggy as before....only in the Nether is where I experiencing loading time.
yeah, you can reflect ghast balls with anything, its fun to punch them back, untill you turn around to see that the ghast has knocked out your portal and it's floating a few blocks high -.-
The best way to do it is by shooting arrows, as they also reflect the bombball things.
I actually find that saplings are rare in my game. I scrounge them up whenever I can, because I only get about 2-3 from most trees.
Of course I haven't created a tree farm yet... WIP
That's to prevent ppl from walking on top of the world.
edit - It is veeery shallow down by the base of the lava. Goes to adminium and just ends.
edit 2 - The adminium seems more impassable than previous versions, less holes through which i can slip.
uhh, i wasn't talking about F5, I mentioned F5 just so you can get into 3rd person, but the main part i was talking about is F1, when you can use it to pan around.

I reiterate, my computer is not that good (can JUST get by in Oblivion)
Then again I don't know how complex the structures around your are are. That can affect things.

If it's a level generator bug, Notch would love to have the seed value (stored in that file) to see what's wrong.

Anybody run in to this ? Is it just a glitch with the texture pack stuff I'm running ?
