WOW WOW WOW...1.9 release is going to be great.

so this is coming in 1.9 and not 1.10 yessss :tongue.gif:

Ho-ly ****.

Oh my god, random enchantment ?? I hope he doesn't really go down that road...

I would only like that if it was more a system like in Nethack, not random but unknown as long as you don't use it in the correct way... It was a pretty tough system but was infinite fun :laugh.gif:

Looks fantastic. :smile.gif:

Also, Blaze Rod in the Potion Holder? :ohmy.gif:

looks like gold to me.

Am I the only one who isn't thrilled with the magical direction Minecraft is taking?

Jeb has been discussing potions quite a bit lately - it seemed in the early stages of planning that potions would be brewed using a cauldron. However, recent comments strongly suggest that the cauldron is being replaced with a brewing stand (seen above).

In addition - Notch strongly hinted at an upcoming enchantment system, complete with an enchanting table or similar object (seen below). While he did confirm that it would cost Experience Points, have a 3-tier system and be "totally random", any other information on the topic has been somewhat cryptic.

With all the recent monster, item and biome additions to the game, one thing is for certain - 1.9 will be a feature-packed release!

First off, I may have to see how the potion stand works myself, but I'm much more in favor of the cauldron. Still, I like the aesthetic of the rack, and the idea itself might work, maybe as a first level alchemy station.

Next, the enchanting. The only problem I really have is that it cost EXP. I would like to hope that rather then in being ^&%$-all random, that it's only random when you're trying to LEARN spells. As you figure out enchantments, you can then use them again as needed.

OMG cool

this is the closest i`ll ever get to first post

Look on the bright side.ITS A FRIGGING BOOK COOL

Can we write in books now? I want a journal!

wow, cool

I saw a snow biome

Damn, I saw the open book and thought they were adding books you could write in. Oh well, 1.9 final still looks awesome.

I'm pretty sure that's a Blaze Rod. I doubt Notch would make a gold rod/ beam or whatever just for that. Then again.. Anyhow, I'm glad we can have a use for the blaze rod itself. (maybe) I was little peeved it was only being used for blaze powder or whatever. Bones are bonemeal, but they can also be used for wolves (thanks to a later update). The point is even if the item you use to get bonemeal has a use. I still think Blaze Rods should be a means to better weapons. Honestly, I see a diamond sword with a blaze rod hilt being far more potent and long lasting than a crummy wooden hilt. Hopefully, someone makes a mod for that if it doesn't get implemented like that. Sure, it would basically be an one hit kill most mobs, but the real use would be for boss mobs.

Ah, dang. Now we have to worry about enchantments too? I bet soon Minecraft will have Mana.

Looks like a Blaze Rod in the middle of the potion holder, so that means we'll have to explore the Nether a bit to have access to this awesome stuff

Imma gonna pass out man

Potion making? An altar of enchantment? Stop giving Zenimax more reasons to sue, guys!

Anyone else feel like this is getting more Terraria than minecraft now.....

All this talk about potions and enchantments reminds me of the Elderly Scrolls. I wouldn't be surprised if this came out half backed or late.
