Does anyone notice this in the picture?

Yes, i saw that, it is a but, i think it is more to show "morning fog", like dusk like light.

The sand block in front is not placed. I can't really explain it, so take a look:


(picture taken from a reply to this thread.. forgot author) The corner of the sand block matches up with the corner of the chest.


The corner of the sand block does NOT match up with the corner of the chest.

Figure it out.

Also, there would NOT be a gap between of them if it were placed. Which leads you to believe that it is actually being held.

trha is because its open

i think think you can even see lines on the floor below it

then why is the block to the left of the chest so much larger than the rest of the sand?

X trox, I'm a guy, and thank you. Hopefully I'm right about this... idk though. But also, you need to give it some thought about what is going on. Just because a chest is seen guys, doesn't mean thats the secret. Did he feel like putting a chest there? Do they spawn randomly in worlds now? I dont know that, and nor' does anyone else commenting. While everyone has been focusing on the chest, there could very well be another secret hidden in this picture. The only thing I can really think of is that chests would appear randomly now, but still, that is a guess, not knowledge.

i mean on the sand below it to say that its off the ground

Is that sand in the left hand, or is just a wierd block?

AHA! I HAVE FOUND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LEFTHANDEDNESS!

While the sand to the left of the chest may not connect right up against it, I have strained my brain and found the truth!

A block's texture side is made of 16x16 (at least sand's texture). If you count the pixels across on the picture, you can see 18+ pixels! This means that there must be at least two blocks next to the chest!

Its amazing what you can see if you take the time to slow down and calmly look at things.

tumbleweeds?

It is another block that is on top of the rest of the sand around it. this has been discussed to death the F1 command to remove the HUD is active so you would not see the hand or block being held.

the secong thing is the weird object behind on of the cacti

OTHER ONE IN NO CHUNK UPDATES EVERYBOD READ THIS

I think the second thing is that the clouds are in much fancier shapes.

The first one is the chest, of course; and my best guess for the second one would have to be left hand usage. It would make sense; the second feature was supposed to be difficult to find, not obvious like the chest or sunset. Thus, notch cleverly held a sand block in his left hand to make it almost unnoticeable in the midst of the desert biome.

Also, if you haven't noticed, there isn't much use for the secondary mouse button in minecraft, apart from eating food. Say, if you were to have a pickaxe in your right hand and a sword in your left, you could mine and defend without hassle. This makes sense to me, anyway.

Just to clear things up

1) It is NOT the bigger biome or the better lighting. He's already revealed this.

2) It is NOT left hand block holding. When you take down the hud you also can't see the items you hold.


Things we can assume:

1) Quicksand. He did talk about how the adventure update (or at least 1.8) is going to reward exploration. Which tells us that the changes are more in terrain than others. Not a placed block considering that the block doesn't overlap the chest in anyway.

2) The U.P.O. (Unidentified Placed Object) behind the cactus. Doesn't look to be like a chest. Or at least not one that we've come to see. Treasure chest? Furniture (chairs, etc)? Maybe a new terrain item?

3) Could be something that isn't physically view able. Like maybe better fog (since he announced taking away the f keybind to change fog)? Higher clouds? Maybe more transparent clouds (mainly for Fancy setting)? Could be anything really.

did notch make the chest thinner to fit the open lid in the same square. the block to the left of the chest could be a sand half block.

ok, i have to insist on this one:

Notch never said in his tweet "two things in this picture", all he said is that he finished two things...

it could be... and think about this for a second... it means THAT HE FINISHED THE ONE BLOCK CHEST AND THE TWO BLOCK CHEST (no, my capslock did not get hit by mistake).
