I remember seeing that screenshot a while back, but didn't think that it could be the the secret he was referencing to. It makes sense now though, good find.
If you try to connect to deadmau5's server, you will be greeted with, 'The server is outdated'.
There has been no updates since the beta update, which means deadmau5 has not updated the server to the beta version, therefore this can not be the secret.
How does this make any sense? A special skin? Can I even edit this "special" skin?
If this turns out to be the uber rare thing... The rare thing is something that can be found from the beta update right? So how can the rare thing be a skin when this skin existed before the update??
Can one of you who say this is it explain how this can be it?

The pre-beta pic could've been either an early test of notch's or a photoshopped pic, from which Notch got the idea to impliment.
This makes the most sense to me of any theory I've read - when I first read Notch's blog post, I too had the impression that the secret was not something that would be accessible to the general public, since it is supposedly more rare than cloaks that are only given to Notch's few employees.
(I was originally thinking more along the lines of something for Notch himself - viewtopic.php?f=1020&t=111878 - but this works too).

Why would this be the secret though? It's just a skin. Or are you talking about being able to make skins like this? Specifications please.
By the way. Could someone post where I can find where notch gave a few hints about what the secret is? I've yet to see it. :/
Well, I tried to recompile ch.class by replacing "deadmau5" with my name... too bad that it alerts me with "modifier volatile not allowed here", and if I remove all instances of 'volatile', it just crashes.
I remember seeing this pic over 2 weeks ago.. which is the first clue that it wasn't "added" with the Beta update.
If deadmau5's server isn't working, then this pic isn't from there, which means it can't only be seen on his server. Therefore the conversation cited is inaccurate.
Secondly, why would Notch bother to mention one dood's special skin, and be so mysterious about it? Why not just say "Oh yeah, and you know deadmau5? he got his own kewl skin cuz we luv him."

First: Was beta not announced around 2 weeks or so ago? The snippet of code that was posted is fairly simple. Probably Notch testing out character mods.
If his server isn't working, then it might not be properly updated yet and its being held so we could piece things together.
And whats better then laying down the foundation to a great way to say "oh ya, you can modify your characters, and it'll probably be alot cooler in the future too"
For those that may not know: jeb_ works for Mojang & deadmau5 is a popular house music producer that plays Minecraft.
Here's the Source.

What's rarer than 3-6 people with special skins?
One person with a special skin.

I don't know about that:

Notch, what are you up to?

I really think this is it.
We can see the ears but they seems flat, I think we got the secret ( :sad.gif: ).

That's what happens on normal server with deadmau5 on it.
