Not to mention the fact that leopard mac support was unintentionally dropped (if you want, call me a whiny, ungrateful douchebag for repeatedly stating that - even making a new topic for it). I'm still fuming about that. Granted, like many people said, Macs aren't built for gaming, but besides having to turn my quality settings down, I've never had problems with Minecraft on my Leopard Mac. It runs at a fairly smooth 20-30 fps excluding new world/chunk generation (which is horrible to some of you - and I thought I was spoiled), glitches are minimal, slowdown is only apparent in multiplayer (which I can blame on my marginal internet connection anyway), and modding isn't difficult compared to Windows (stupid "aux.class" getting in my way). Combined with the technical problems many people have faced with this update, I'm not sure if updating is even necessary or beneficial. The lack of announcement either shows ignorance or cruelty, and I find it hard to believe it being the latter. At least they announced their future lack of Java 5 and PowerPC support, for comparison.

the new update, is crazy laggy, even on my 3 month old $1300 pc, which i can get 200fps on and it looks super laggy, but when i ue optifine, i get the same but it looks smooth. And it didnt even fix all the lighting errors

Why isn't there a texture packs button yet? Is that just a bug?

AWFUL PERFORMANCE....
Lovely version, i love red stone but, in the 1.4.7 my perfomance was 200 FPS to 250 FPS, but my perfomance in 1.5 was 100 FPS with slumps to 40 FPS.
Why? I would like to know mojang lords ... I need to play for those reasons i bought the game.
I want NOW a 1.5.1 or 1.5.100 with a perfect performance...

its ouwt in amerlica!

heheh, I see you've removed Herobrine... again.

Look in "Options"

Anyone else have the map bug I mentioned earlier yet?

Is 1.5.1 really the last MC development version? Is the game done? If not, Vechs will be punished when I beat Inferno Mines for lying. (Yes, I know if it isn't the last one he was using skeptical information, that could have not been true)

can you add the herobrine again

The new items are great! but i cant use my textures for crap... half the items are from default and the rest are my texture =( very happy for the update but it has problems... please fix

Quote from BlackJar72

Everyone I've heard from has seen bugs -- this is the first time I've ever found a significant bug (one that severely effected game play), never saw then in 1.4.x. Now its practically unplayable. The inventory bug that makes items get drop or simply disappear, or rarely turns give an extra (drop one while the original stays in the inventory) and the related crafting bug that pushing things off the crafting table, cause the orginal item to be crafted instead, or follows the wrong recipe (three planks making a button instead of a half-slab). They're constant, everywhere, and make me want to rage-quit, and everyone I know has them constantly screwing with everything (especially crafting) -- I can't believe you haven't seen them!

Lol, just started that is why, but I just saw them all, yeah, kinda annoying, going back to FTB -.-

Considering they're releasing 1.6 snapshots next week...I think your friend was wrong.

I'd want to know how the watch texture works now. since my 1.4.7 i've made the 'dial.png' for the watch texture in the items.png, but in 1.5 seems it just turns pink. What am i supposed to do?

i am having trouble with the new update. i cant use any mods even after i deleted the meta inf it sill goes black. the craftn table and chest are very screwed up for me. for instince if i take something from a chest and put it in my inventy it will not it goes back. im also dropping items randomly. the serevr connections are weakernow than ever before and i keep getting disconected.
if someone canh elp me out that would be great hopefully 1.5.1 is comeing out soon to fix the bugd im having.

The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here - the 1.5 Redstone Update is now live! Now, I know you want to jump into this massively awesome update head-first, so let's see what was added!

1.5 Features:

• Added Redstone Comparator (used in Redstone logic)
• Added Hopper (collects items and moves them to containers)
• Added Dropper (similar to Dispensers, but always drops the item)
• Added Activator Rail (activates TNT Minecarts)
• Added Daylight Sensor
• Added Trapped Chest
• Added Weighed Pressure Plate
• Added Block of Redstone
• Added Nether Brick (item)
• Added Nether Quartz and ore
• Added Block of Quartz, with half blocks and chiseled variants
• New command: /scoreboard
• New command: /effect
• Containers and mobs can have custom names
• Inventory management has been changed, for example you can drag-place items over slots
• Texture packs now have separate images for each block and item, and can have animations
• Nether Quartz Ore now spawns in the Nether
• Smooth lighting now has three settings (none, minimal, maximum)
• More detailed death messages
• Some hostile mobs now are harder in Hard difficulty
• Many, many, bug fixes - more than you can shake a stick at
• Removed Herobrine

Please note: There is a scheduled 1.5.1 update in the very near future, to iron out some of the few remaining issues with 1.5, and it will be coming soon. Tomorrow's Snapshot will reveal more of what is to come, so keep an eye out!

You might be wondering where to start, or what sort of indescribably cool thing to create first. With so many new items, commands, and blocks, it's almost impossible to know where to start first! I don't have any good advice for that, except to show you something SethBling made with the 1.5 assets in the pre-release:

Rocket golem, or gassy golem - you decide!

The 1.5 release is a big one, and there is so much to do! What is your favorite part of the update? Tell us about it!

Well I get to play minecraft almost everyday well it crashedwell i dont know how i got that

well i dont know how i got that

this thing is cool
its got
1.Hoppers
2.Daylight Sensor
3.Block of Redstone
4.new pressure plates
5.Smooth Lightning

REMOVED HEROBRINE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ;__;
we were best friends ;-;

For me, my favourite thing was definitely all of the redstone stuff, mainly the comparator and its uses.

What I dont like, though, is that bone meal is slightly nerfed, and that they took out the awesome bug of being able to make a rapid-fire dispenser using a powered dispenser and constant block updates.

I haven't experienced a lot of the bugs you guys are experiencing, but then again, I haven't played with it much yet either. I'll get back to you guys on that.

Quote from GhengisKhan

for some reason my server has not the same version as my pc (though both should be on 1.5) --> MC says the server is outdated. could there be some problem with the patched .jar for the server? anyone got that problem too?

Do you just run your server off of your PC? If so, the server doesn't update automatically with the game, you have to update it manually.

Quote from Lapis_Lupus

If a world chunk is previously loaded, it won't change when you update it.... You'll have to go past where the world has already loaded to get Nether Quartz Ore, it will never appear where you've already been. Me, I made a world months ago but waited until now to go to the Nether so that that wouldn't happen. I worry about that happening to me with the 1.6 update though, because supposedly new mobs are being added and I want them to appear near my house...

That would only be a problem if the mobs need a new, pre-generated structure to spawn (ie witch).

Quote from Minecraft_dragon_81299

Does the update apply to the Xbox 360 version

Is the update out for Xbox 360

No, the Xbox version is several updates behind PC. It will take time for the 360 version to catch up.

You have to wait for the mod creators to update the mods to 1.5 before you can use the game with mods.
