I heard a rumor on Etho's latest single player lets play video that they are changing redstone in 1.5 anyone care to elaborate on where this rumor comes from / what exactly they are doing to redstone?
Nothing has been announced about 1.5 etho was talking about 1.3 and 1.4. Mojang changed piston speed in 1.3 and locked repeaters and bugs for redstone in 1.4
None of the servers on my list have updated to 1.4.2 yet… because they all run at least a few mods.
It would be nice if minecraft had a compatibility mode, though.
As much as I like seeing fixes and stuff, redstone is a science, and science generally doesn't have to reboot repeatedly because the laws of physics decide to stop working.
Imagine the collapse that would ensue if God showed up and decided to "patch" amperage...
1 : the state of knowing : knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding
2 a: a department of systematized knowledge as an object of study <the science of theology> b: something (as a sport or technique) that may be studied or learned like systematized knowledge <have it down to a science>
3 a: knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method
It might be a silly application of the term, but redstone knowledge is indeed systematized. It's hard to keep everyone on the same page and make consistent progress with stuff being overhauled. But who knows; maybe they update will only bork a few things.
Physics doesn't get "updates" because there is nobody there to make updates for it.
What on Earth are you talking about? Physics gets updated all the time. What do you think quantum physics was? Or the general (and special) relativity… or Newton's laws of motion…
They're like major patches of physics.
I agree, though. Such updates tend to keep things interesting.
These updates are churning out at us!! Mods barely update before a new update arrives!
You realize you don't have to update right?
You realize you can't play SMP on 99% of servers if you don't update, right?
