A code freeze for Minecraft is now in effect! In software jargon, a code freeze is essentially a tight set of restrictions placed on what can be added to game code, with a focus on polishing, bug-fixing and streamlining the game instead of adding more features. This assures that Minecraft will be released as a smooth, mostly (or entirely!) bug-free game.
Minecraft has gone through some amazing changes since its humble beginnings, adding tons of features and content. What have been some of your favorite additions to the game?
A favourite feature of Minecraft for me would probably be the new potions! Seeing as I just started Minecraft in 1.8, I wouldn't have much else to choose from. :wink.gif:
Guys, notch is still going to updae and add stuff. But they are going to be more polished updates, with more stuff, and better things. This is at the point where you can call minecraft released. It's like a work in progress mod. Except now, it is released.
My favorite addition would be Beds. Sure, they take away the night element, but if you're gathering Wood or building something outdoors it would be such a shame to have to wait 10 minutes every time it gets dark as well as possible having a Creeper blowing up you/your constructs.
dragons. definetely dragons. ive only been here from 1.7.2, but im proud of minecraft's progress. nice job notch, jeb, all of you people at mojang. let minecraft rule the world!
The game is just all around epic! The updates have all been so much fun (with the exception of enderman stealing blocks, which I turned off :smile.gif: ). It's been a lot of fun seeing how things have progressed. Hopefully diring the freeze they will make the game less resource-intensive.
Good work guys! I'll be seeing you for years to come!
I have to say, I think that everything in the adventure update is my favorite. It gave me a reason to go out and explore the world, and keep a real survival world for more than a week. I've only played this game since 1.3, and I wish I'd played it long before that, but I think this is easily the best game I have ever come across.
Yes Notch, the fact that the boss fight sucks can totally be a bug. Then the freeze doesn't stop work on it from happening
I just hope the seeds don't really get ****ed around with once the game itself is released, that the biomes are all nice and done, but a month of getting it to play nicely? Less lag and the game not crashing on me all the time? Awesome
Minecraft has changed so much in the past few months... When I compare 1.7.3 and 1.9pre4, it's like I'm looking at something wholly different! I love each and every update lately, from the sprinting to the potions. I've gotta say, I'm most excited about the dragons right now.
Java sucks.
