So what do you people think about the colored wood rumor? I do not know if it would be a good addition or not... if it is added of course
is it a rumour? I know I've seen Dinnerbone tweet about it, and post a picture. What is the rumour then? He stated he's probably not adding it, although he may have said that to cover himself in the event of it not being implemented.
I've done a few speculative searches, but not turned up anything further than the first tweet. I'd definitely like to know more. I think coloured wood could be a great addition to the wide range of materials already available. How would it be different from Wool though? Would like the idea even more if it came as part of some crazy new trees!!

I was mixed about it untill I thought, Hm, what would this house look like if I could paint the wood white. Then I thought..this game is from the mideval witchcraft times (it is also a fantasy game though...), Painting wood seems too Modern-ish..
also, with wood slabs.. the game uses two IDs for slabs, WOOD and STONE types,
it use to be only one type.. and the wood slab would be treated as stone..
all stone slabs are just retextured stone
stone:
0 Stone
1 sandstone
2 wood (no longer crafted this way)
3 cobblestone
4 brick
5 stone brick
6 netherbrick
7 quartz
THESE BELOW ARE MADE WITH THE TOP TEXTURE SINCE THEY HAVE DIFFERENT SIDE TEXTURES FOR SLABS
8 smooth stone double slab
9 smooth sandstone double slab
15 quartz double slab
if they added slabs for the 16 different colored wood they would add, all above 0x7 would not work. meaning they could only add 3 more types.
Also regarding this topic, The coal block's smelting time was changed from:
720 Seconds to 800 Seconds,
so it smelts another 10 Items making it equal to 10 pieces of coal..not 9
Perhaps it is a quirk for making the coal block and using it..
I don't get that though.. it was changed in 13w18calso dinnebone is teasing us saying there will be a snapshot today saying he will add (puts in black boxes)
The colored wood is not gonna happen with the Stained Clay move, and I don't know about you guys, but I like the stained clay better than colored wool or wood.

Pity, I liked the texture of the coloured wood. Does anyone else think coloured wool is largely redundant now? I don't think wool looks anywhere near as good as the stained clay; as far as I'm concerned it's needed for beds and carpets, nothing else. I know for those who like pixel art on creative servers and such coloured wool is still useful, and the new blocks will just allow a greater range of detailed shading and tone. Maybe they'll change the desert temple/pyramid symbols to have the stained clay instead of wool, as I always thought that was a bit daft anyway.

me too i mean why color wood?? it already has natural color variations
Tommorow is "Snapshot Thrudsay", however we might not get a snapshot this week due to the vacations but I understand.
I have added some of the texture changes and textures into the Compilation. Enjoy.
The things we still need are Horse sounds, a way to take armor/saddles off of mounts (SHEARS?), bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes, maybe uncraftable hay blocks, and bug fixes.
Do you have the new launcher from Mojang.com? If not go to http://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/MinecraftDev.exe assuming you're on Windows. The new snazzy launcher will sort it from there...
Clean up your .minecraft folder
the CURRENT version of the launcher is 0.7.1
If you get the "unknown source"
Copy and paste it into a new post in "pastebin.com"
Tweet dinnerbone the link.
Or make a bug report on the tracker.
ALSO!!
I see mines being alot cooler with the coal block.
Imagine miners making a pit of coal blocks so whenever you run out you mine the blocks
It would look like power plant with coal/ash fields
Make sure you download the LINUX/other file
http://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/MinecraftDev.jar
then make sure you run THE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED,
If you run the launcher you already have, it is NOT the new one and is there for people who don't play development versions.
This new one is the development laucnher, made so you don't mess up the current launcher.
Run this MinecraftDev.jar, and pick what version you want to play. (In this case you have 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 13w16b, 13w17a, 13w18b, and 13w18c)
Once again:
DO:
1 Download MinecraftDev.jar (which is the linux version)\
2 Run this file,
3 play
DO NOT:
1 Run the current laucnher. (that has 1.5.2 forced to it.)

Yeah don't you go on twitter Packjew
He probably feels bad now, and everyone who rep'd his post.
No hard feelings, at first this post was just features confirmed by picture leaks
Jeb just got married, Congrats to him.
