One of the major bugs with this snapshot makes every entity freeze, making the game unplable... I'm disappointed.... There has to be a b version

Same thing is happening for me. My comp isn't the greatest, but it has always played the game fine before. I think the RAM update is helping with chunk rendering, but it does seem that there is a consistent lag of a second or two every 8-10 seconds. For now, I just learned to swing my sword like crazy when the zombies would suddenly stop moving for a bit. I hope they get this worked out for 1.3 or at least offer updated video settings for those who are experiencing this (i.e. java XMS RAM, fast graphics, OpenGL, etc) because the current methods aren't cutting it.

On a side note, I think I have fallen in love with extreme hills on Large Biomes. There was a large thread earlier about how biomes were lacking. Now, I feel Large Biomes has in a way fixed it. Now that a biome fills half a map, there is so much room to put content in each type of biome. Extreme Hills have some scattered trees, Tiaga has large mountains, not to mention you can find ruins in both desert and jungle now. Though, if they are going to make sandstone villages in desert, I wish they would do something like cobblestone villages in snow. Seems like villages are only limited to plains and desert. At least put them in swamp! ... or are they already?

Found a pyramid and went to loot it but I landed on the pressure plate and blew up!

Reloaded the map again and was able to loot it. I got 33 bones, 17 rotten flesh, 12 gold bars, and 4 iron bars. There is a single pressure plate in the center of the pit and under it is 9 tnt blocks.

For those having the server jar issue:

1. Download the minecraft_server.jar (The Server link in the OP.)
2. People usually don't do this: Make a folder called server in the .minecraft directory. DO NOT Put the server jar in the bin folder or make the server folder in the bin folder.
3. Put the minecraft_server.jar in ./minecraft/server
4. DO NOT PUT THE SERVER JAR IN BIN or MAKE A FOLDER CALLED SERVER IN BIN.

To have Commands, you need to put on commands in world options when creating a world. It's been like this for a few snapshots.

It cannot be stated much more clear than this. I was getting the "it's dead jim" error too and following these steps will fix it.

"Wooden half slabs in four colors (and they act as wood instead of stone)"

I guess I wasn't familiar with this problem. What was it? Did wooden slabs make a stone sound when you walked on them? Or did it require a pick to break them?

i agree, this is just cheating

I agree, I'll never touch it.

BUT... thankfully it's optional. I assume these will be turned off by default. If it shuts up the lazy whiners, I'll happily embrace this update.

If this means we will soon be able to install mods without editing jar files, I will be one happy miner! For the record, I haven't installed a single mod because of all the work involved.

Am I the only one sick and tired of major terrain changes?

I hope these new changes don't totally change the seed like we saw between 1.7 -> 1.8 -> 1.9PR -> 1.0.

While the changes we used to see from the introduction of survival to 1.7.2 were fine, you can't expect us admins to keep up with all these full-on biome/seed changes. This is getting stupid.

If these new changes only change/tweak the existing terrain, fine. If they *totally* change seeds again like we saw between 1.7 -> 1.8 and even 1.8 -> 1.9PR where nothing major changed but the whole map was different, I will be furious.

You. Need. To. Stop. F**king. With. The. Terrain. PLEASE Add more terrain options, but stop screwing with the defaults. I have no problem with adding some flowers, or minor tweaks, like tall grass and pumpkins. But us server admins seriously need some stability.

Add all the other generators you want (IE Flatmap) but PLEASE finalize the default generator and STOP touching it.. or at the very least, leave the old generators intact so we don't have funky borders on old seeds.

The game is still in development dumbass. If you don't like major game changes, stop playing until the full release happens, then it will mostly be minor tweaks and additions.

That'll be cool if they provide a slider option for how high or low you want the terrain to be. It seems there were plenty of people on both sides that wanted mountains to stay the same, have more trees, or be crazy looking. I am bummed that this means I may have to create a whole new map again =( but hopefully I can keep my current world and just not explore anymore until the update is released.

It's not like Notch won't have any say in anything, he just won't be typing the code personally. Think of it like Steve Job's transition. Maybe in this way, the game will get converted from Java to C a whole lot quicker.

I have a feeling sprint is going to cause many deaths for me when I see a large pit or pool of lava and think... you know, I think I can make that!

endermen

Although they have no correlation, I am partial to anything that reminds me of Ender's Game. =P

If we can make "critical hits", does that also mean mobs will be able to "critical hit" us?

Not disagreeing with it, but that would be handy information to have before I take on that skeleton. =P

Shears and leaves will be handy for folks doing treehouses! Now you don't have to bonemeal trees all over your house and hope they grow properly. You can just plant a forest, chop it down, and then place the leaves however you want! ... assuming they are attached to other leaves or logs :smile.gif:
