Minecraft version 1.1 is now officially out! Including the updates mentioned above, 1.1 has added the following features:
- Bow Enchantments
- Golden Apple recipe
- New language translations.
- Slightly smoothed color transitions between biomes
- Reduced brewing time to 20 seconds
- Added spawn eggs to creative (the colors of the eggs even look like the mobs)
- Added world type options (currently only super-flat and default)
- Removed collision box from ladders
- Sheep eat grass and regain their wool
Also included is a ton of various bugfixes and minor tweaks to the game engine, many of which were included in previous snapshot releases. To update, just run your Minecraft client normally, and you're good to go!
How about, if they actually care...
-add smp "safes" to help better balance item protection on servers
-fix the "hunger bar" into a more rational stamina bar, thus fixing many of the other problems, like combat etc. Instead of bandaiding the problem by tweaking mob toughness, tweaking mob HP, weapon damage, and all that stuff.
Or anything actually BIG.
Sure, I may be biased because those are my two suggestions. My point is, the current changes are not enough to justify months of waiting, and certainly not worth being called "1.1" This is more like "1.001"
Just don't update your minecraft yet or save the jar file so you can play it when you want to later.
But at least this update is AWESOME
YES! Its driving me nuts already cuz I use waterfalls to get around a lot, but the water keeps freezing... and I can't keep my crops alive...
