So, I was playing in the snapshot, heading to get some Sand, and this happened.

Yeah, apparently, zombies can now be angered by Skeletons.
Edit: Also confiming that one of the first shaders are bugged, and is making the screen black.

What's this red bump, doc?



(Use CTRL + mouse wheel for a closer look)

Grats, you found grumm!

@Robo
Do that in 1.6, it's been implemented since nametags were added

I believe Diamonds for you wasn't said in this thread. That's probably the last thing new added not stated here.

for some reason my starting screen is super small and i can't fix it! Well i guess with all the bug comments Mojang can fix them. After all without us they wouldn't know what the bugs are!

If you mean the screen with singleplayer and those, then not sure. I know the Mojang screen does stay small, often. Also about the bugfixes, I believe they made snapshots so people could find bugs, while the team can have more time adding content and fixing bugs.

I'd be way happier about the shaders if they were controllable, instead of cycling through 15 or 20 options half of which are unplayable.

I think the super secret will turn into a menu, if anything.

Quote from BaccarWozat

Definitely not useless content, but I don't know to what extent I will be using it. It looks a lot like some of the video tricks in Turok 2 on N64 (and therefore also South Park which used the same engine and had some of the same cheats).

But really Dinnerbone? Upside down mode? TV mode?

The stretch maps were much-needed though. Thanks for that!

The upsidedown was expected, considering Dinnerbone's upsidedown-ness.

So I was playing survival in this snapshot, got to the DIAMONDS! achievement. And I seen something that shown diamond boots. I don't know the name, but when you get to the eye of ender achievement, it's above that.
Edit: Another new achievement I seen has a wither skeleton skull, which is after the achievement for defeating the enderdragon.

I have been playing it and it doesn't seem very smooth to me. If I can look off into the distance and see a mineshaft from above ground then it is not done. If I have to stop my boat because I don't really know what's in front of me and I don't want to crash into blocks that haven't loaded yet, then it's not done. What other released games have these problems? None that I can think of. It's more of a beta thing.

I appreciate that they're adding new content, but it's not a substitute for fixing major bugs. And they're adding way too much content. I don't want to have to spend hours researching changes made to the game if I stop playing for a month and then return. I'd rather return to see that the engine was improved, and I'd love it if they made it easier to install and (de)activate mods.

By the way, last I heard they had planned on releasing the mod API back in January. Was that ever done?

They do work on bugfixes. They tried to fix the lighting error, which sorta worked. The only thing is it only works on maximum smooth lighting. Also, they did work on making chunk loading better. The thing is, as new things get added, there are new bugs. That's probably one reason they made snapshots. So people could report bugs, and the people working on minecraft can have more time bugfixing. But if something like the Mesa biome bug from 12w36a wasn't found by the creators when they did a quick test, and they said it was working correctly, how well do you think the community will react? Also, if you think it's easy to do that, you try fixing the lighting engine by yourself, with the basic minecraft lighting engine, in a week. It's not easy to fix a bug like that. They do have bugfixes in each snapshot, and at least some tweaking to get rid of the major bugs. A few of the bugs they got from the snapshots alone that were considered 'huge' were fixed asap. Don't think it's unfair, it's that bugs are easier to get rid of the shorter they exist. That's why the major bugs are major.

Also. I'm the only one that got a LOT of FPS on this snapshot ?

1.6.2 = +- 90 FPS
12w36 = 279 FPS

Felt like it to me... except in amplified

Quote from elgatuno

i have a bug.. when i eat raw chicken makes me hungry and the super secret settings doesn't work

The super secret button's useless right now. Also, raw chicken has had a 10% chance of giving you the effect WAY before this.
In semi-related news to the snapshot, I made a enderdragon make a cave in a AMPLIFIED world.

They added in a summon command. The way it works is /summon <entityName> [x] [y] [z] [dataTag]
WARNING! You must caps the name of the entity. Aka, if you wanted to spawn the wither, you'd need to put Wither. Also, don't know what the datatag does.

As for all you people complaining about Mojang "stealing" peoples content from mods 1) You are using MOJANG's code it implement your (or others) ideas into their game. 2) I very much doubt Mojang is going into these mods and taking their code which means Mojang is coding these ideas in with their coders by hand so there is no stealing involved. Just because someone has an idea it doesn't mean that nobody else has ever or will ever have that same idea or does it mean that you own that idea unless you get a patent on it. So please stop complaining about how this idea or that has been "Stolen" by Mojang and just enjoy the game.

3) Also until Mojang releases the Modding API all mods are technically illegal, so that means that you cant fully claim it.
4) I'm pretty sure noone who mods Minecraft came up with Skyrim, My Little Pony, Midevil weapons, guns, cats, castles, or anything that you say is a "original idea." In other words Mojang can use things from the mods (that aren't based on another game, a show, etc.) without having to give any credit to the modders.
5) The only mod that HAS original ideas(from all the ones I've seen or even heard about) is Mo Creeps and Weirdos,

Quote from holydragonknight

Every update always brings out about how Minecraft changed too much or is too X. If Minecraft just stayed the same, people would tire the game and move on to play something else. I wish more games followed Minecraft in terms up adding new things.

And not the Valve way for TF2, two years between updates that are terrible.

Trolls:
Snapshot 1: Hate this
Snapshot 2: Hate this
Snapshot 3: Hate this
Snapshot 4-week before next update: I HATE YOU MOJANG YOU FRICKING IDIOTS GO FRIG YOURSELVES
Update: I love all these new features.

Cant wait to play. But what was people talking about being careful of chests?

Quote from DemonCrusher36

Meh, more fluff.. I mean carrots and potatoes? Really.. And flower pots.
Item frames: Good.
Potion of night: Good
Potion of invisibility: Great
But I mean flower pots and these lame new crops? Not good.. Add more features like animals going in the nether, not annoying fluff. + Major bugs from 1.3

Btw, Mojang, we still dont have our promised red dragon and still no use for the enderdragon egg, zombie flesh.. etc..
I have a double chest of ****ing useless zombie flesh, hoping one day that it'll get a use.
At least make it so it can go into leather.

So you don't want to eat the rotten flesh if you need hunger, also, the part for enderdragon egg, it would be cool for that to have a use other than showing you beat the enderdragon.

Quote from Kelemvore

Nice , I completely did not expect new food...my villages will have more crops to farm now!
The corner stair thingy is a nice little touch as well , finally those spots in roofs wont look wonky anymore...

Now , we just need to be able to collect and place cobwebs in survival mode , sponges should be added back into the game world in ocean biomes , a netherbrick fence gate to go with our nether brick fences...

Awesome work so far , keep it up!

Cobwebs can be picked up with shears, right?

Quote from CK20XX

With the addition of these new crops, I'm thinking that wheat should also yield 1-4 wheat drops just like carrots and potatoes, otherwise it may find itself becoming obsolete.

Yeah, because nobody will use wheat as opposed to food that's hardr to get (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay harder)

Quote from iSphere

I found zombie villagers in a jungle biome and there are no NPC villages around. I guess that's a bug.

It's been a bug in 12w32a that villager zombies randomly spawn due to the fact that it's STILL a zombie (can turn zombies to villagers the same way as zombie villagers)

Quote from iSphere

Just like the old days

Man, that's one big picture.

Quote from Revenger111

If you place stone brick next to a cobblestone wall and break it, a silverfish will spawn. I found that out when I was messing about in creative.

EDIT: If you just place a stone brick and break it, a silverfish will spawn. Is this a bug?

Yeah, it was stone brick mob spawner

Quote from warchicken

Minecraft really should stop changing

Play on your old versions then.

Quote from iSmile

Who else found the Wither? (The hidden Boss Mob)

Narually, no.

Quote from baldian4ever

HELP!?! When ever I replace my minecraft folder (in-side the bin) and put the new snapshot (it is called minecraft) and when I launch minecraft it goes onto the Done Loading screen someone HELP ME please!

Stop spamming and if it doesn't work don't use it.

Quote from ninja20006157

REALLY BAD BUG IN 1.3.2!!! When ever i make a new 1.3.2 world, save and quit, then reload it, it eaither does a big rollback or erases the world completely! And its just sun and clouds! Please fix this, also im running minecraft on a Windows XP

What does it have to do with the weekly snapshot?

Quote from dittofire1

Jeb, you are a game GOD. Ever since he became in charge of Minecraft, only the best of the best updates have been rolling in. I love the idea of hanging items as decor, flower pots have FINALLY come, and a new boss?! Not to mention freaking invisibility AND night vision...I look back at the time when I played Alpha for the first time, and looking to 1.4, Minecraft has come a LONG way. This game will become legendary.

Even though Jeb was the creator since 1.0.0 (at the latest) yes, he does make better snapshots, but Dinnerbone (new Nether portal feature, new mob, dye-able armour.) and Marc_IRL help.
