• The max distance has been increased to 40 blocks.

Could someone elaborate/explain this?

I find it comical that, even though you can get end portal frames in creative inventory, creating an end portal doesn't make one if you fill it with the eyes. You have to use /give username 119 1 to get the portal. You would think that since they were adding the portal block that they would make it able to make a end portal if you filled up the eyes but... no.

The portal frame has a data value that determines which way it is pointing. When placed, the frame will "point" towards you. In order for a portal block to be created, you need to have them all facing inwards, toward where the portal will appear.

Cant wait for 1.3!!!!

I saw a bug where the redstone torch does no work with boosters rails and other red stone materials automatically turns on and or off.

Edit: never mind it was just me then. XD

I'm not sure if this is new, but just noticed that you can see through stair blocks without an ugly outline and also shoot arrows through stair-windows

I just want them to fix the terrain generation. Tired of all my worlds being Far Lands copies.

Its coming out the end of the month. Either the 21st or the 29th i believe. But could be even later.
They still have to do the client/server merge.


Thats cuz its not coming out untill 1.4. Mojang said they wanted to get the community the new features quicker, so 1.4 will be basicly only the mod api.

thanks bro!

This has been answered at least 6 times so far. I'll leave finding the answer as an exercise for you.

Thanks.

I honestly like to press F to reload chunks Dx

There's another new bug, It seems chunks load very slowly/poorly lots of holes in the world. I never use to have this issue in single-player or multi-player. Please fix before 1.3 !

Is it just me, or do boats seem especially laggy now? I don't see ANY improvement in boats, it's just bad in a different way. It almost looks like connection lag you'd find on a server, but it's clearly a single player world...

I'm not haveing any issues with boats whatsoever. Been riding one around for a while now. Also its definitely faster and easier to control .

I noticed a few other things in the snapshot that are not listed.
1) Double tap spacebar on a boat to go faster
2) A few new splashes on main menu
3)End portals wont work if not natrually spawned. (I might be doing it wrong but that is what I belive.)

i don't know if you got an fix to number 3 but end portals only work if you are placing them on the inside like where the portal would activate at but if you mess up on one by placing it on the side of another end block it wont work

I agree, boats are much improved and I don't see how people don't notice the difference.

um... what going on with the modding api? I haven't heard a word from it?

i believe they already said Modding API will be released on 1.4 and not 1.3

Hell yeah! We can finally see other's cracks in SMP!

Idk know if anybody else tested this but I noticed that mobs aren't glitchy anymore I tested this out several times on an smp server and a single player world and havn't seen any glitchy mobs.

The only thing is I havn't seen any mention of this anywhere can anyone confirm this for me?

oh my....i love the way you put that.

so we can see cracks in smp but what about the breaking particles?

These are some pretty interesting features. I'm glad that they finally fixed the boats, they were a pain.

YAY! SLABS ON WALLS!
Now rooms can be bigger with the exterior looking the same!

You do know that it means it can be placed either normally, or on top. Nothing different.

Yes, have you actually tried "unzipping" the zipped file? By any chance?

How ????? (I feel like such a noob)
