Now technic pack can have 9001 mods!!!!!

Hopefully there is a new official release soon?

This update is the best thing to happen to Minecraft since Survival Mode. Not only does it double the world's height, but it also adds new mobs and a new (and awesome) biome. Jeb said that it would slightly raise people's performance on their computers as well due to all the improvements to the biome generation.

Great! I just hope that the new building height wont decrease the FPS

Why not 65536 block ids?

So wht will be in the 1.3 update then what else is here to add to an all redy great game

Only time will tell how awesome this update will be. Now i can make things 2X taller. :laugh.gif:

Edit: Hopefully this is gonna set the stage for the modding API which i hope is coming next week!

Sweet!

Will this also mean deeper mines??

Terrain generation needs to get more advanced and this allows for it. We could now have large plains and such above and below sea level. Waterfalls are more aesthetically possible. I can not wait!!

I wonder if this snapshot will increase fps or decrease it

but overall it sounds like a cool update

Does anyone know how to use the converter they released? I can't figure it out. =/

Sounds awesome
Sounds like it'll be a lot less resource- and disk space intensive, and allow for even better mods by making them easier to make

OH GOOD MOTHER OF GOD.

LOVE IT!

I smell mod API...

This will be an Amazing update. Hopefully this signals the rest of the features they planned like being to read in books, adventure mode, and the Sky dimension

I hope 1.2 comes out soon so I can get updated mods with all this cool stuff.

Even though I really like Notch, I gotta say that replacing himself with Jeb and Jon was the best thing he did for Minecraft! Notch put amazing things into the game, but seemed like he was losing interest throughout 1.8 and 1.9, and just ignored the community. Jeb is listening to the community and the game is improving so much, or at least this is a good start. I'm glad Jeb has someone to help him out so he could could do this faster but staying at steady speed. You know the saying: "2 heads are better than 1!"

Can anyone confirm if the doubled map height will or will not cause FPS lag?

If it doesn't lessen lag significantly, then WOOOOOOOOOOT!

Fantastic. It is so nice to see some more content updates frequently now that MC has made its official 'release'. Either that or Jeb works more efficiently than Notch did. Either way, good work you crazy cats!
