I am sorry but 2 ores in a game called "mine"craft is not "sufficient ." If you want to count the two gems (1 of which is pretty much decorative (Lapis) and the other represents the ONLY end game tool option that have been available forever then you have 4. redstone and coal to the mix and you have 6. But really that is a stretch.

Of course I want to count all of the ores -- all of these items in their block form you find in the ground are "ores". Since the point of mining is to find resources underground, then these all count as stuff you find mining. And there's already enough.

Iron: The mainstay crafting ore, common and used for a ton of useful things.
Coal: Extremely common, but used for an extremely common need.
Diamond: Used exclusively for powerful tools and armor.
Gold: Formerly the 'decorative' ore, now the rarer ore used for making a few very useful things (like powered rails and gold apples)
Lapis Lazuli: The new decorative ore, since gold no longer is exclusively decorative. Having a block that's pretty, and isn't costing you making other things by using it for decoration, is great in a game that's also about building cool things.
Redstone: Amazing little ore, this, enabling one of Minecraft's best examples of complexity-from-simplicity -- whole computers made from wires and NOR gates.

So, what exactly do we need more ores for? We've covered all the bases from crafting to computing to simply making **** look awesome, to letting you dig up new stuff as efficiently as possible.

What is copper going to add to the game? What is it going to be for, and why can't that use iron or gold instead? How is it fundamentally different? You've implied you want it to be even more common than iron, so, nothing as good as what iron is used for? Awesome!

What is another end-game option for tools going to add? "Oh it's diamond but stronger." Wow, that really added a lot to the game! Or maybe it's a little more durable, but mines less quickly. So... diamond only slightly different. Yeah now my mining experience is really enriched.

We already have 4 levels of tools that are identical except for their speed and durability stats. More of the same is not actually more.

More variety will keep this game growing and interesting.

"More of the same because more is inherently better even if it adds nothing to the game but 'more'" is not a philosophy the makers of Minecraft share with you, and thank God for that. There are some mod makers that agree with you though, so you should check those out.

WHAT THE HELL, ever since 12w07a my singleplayer survival games are LAGGING so much its unplayable. I can play in crative mode with not much lag at all. "a smoother game experience" they say yea right. Mincraft 1.1 was and is working fine, fast and smooth for me. I HOPE they will fix this LAGGING problem soon its so fustrating. I shouldent have to tweek my computer to make it work when Mincraft 1.1 runs great. its bs. Please fix that.

After trying this snapshot and going back to 1.1 now my minecraft is laggy. I bought a new computer to stop lag, and now my minecraft is screwed up. I HATE snapshots now. Any tips? My laptop is so laggy now :sad.gif:

I went back to 1.1 and it is still screwed up.

Is it just me or is the skin for the Iron Golem not showing up?

Fix your computer or recorder or whatever. Oh and don't use "aight" ever again. EVER.

AIGHT!

Trololol. Iron Man strikes to defend the poor innocent people

Keep the snapshots rolling! More focus on cats + original game mechs., plz!
Also, are they EVER gonna release the ACTUAL 1.2 update? At this rate, 1.2 is gonna be bigger than 1.0, and that was the official release!!!!

Still, this is good stuff. I would like more mechanical blocks like pistons, but whatevs. Doesn't change the fact that this is gonna be amazing!!

Guys, I doubt half of you will get this, but in the url, there is 413

o_o


Also, looks great.
You have awed us once again jeb

EDIT: I thought I got it, but I was thinking of something else.

Great update again! I'm just hoping in the future there will be a way to deactivate/ activate golems via redstone. I can just imagine having adventure maps where the player walks down a long hall of supposedly broken down golems and suddenly they come to life. I can see having automated factories build them, but for pure aesthetic purposes an on/off mechanism would be great

One day in a snapshot i'm going to see the item i know we all want.. 9 redstone ore = 1 Redstone Block; like lapis, true or noooo?

Upside down half slabs??? Really? Just make it where you can place half slabs anywhere Top of the block or the bottom. This will open the door to something I want.

Stack 2 different half slabs or anything else that takes half a block on top each other w/o the gap. THis would include red stone and repeaters. Would be nice to be able to hide red stone in a half block high gap in the floor.

all additions so far look amazing but take a break and fix ALL of the many bugs and finally release 1.2, it seems like the start with a new project every week and never finish smoothing out the old. Don't get me wrong i love all the new stuff but polish it off now and officially release it. :smile.gif:

I am now going to rebuild the crazy stairs scene from Labyrinth. Changing my character to David Bowie as we speak...

I agree. Take the stuff that isn't entirely bugged, and patch it in. Call it 1.1.2 if you have to. :tongue.gif:

We now demand upside-down half-slabs.

I remember when Notch said he'd add golems years ago. Seeing that iron knock the crap out of the zombie put a smile on my face.

And of course, upside-down stairs are awesome! Hah, now I can finally smoothen the undersides of my ships!

there should be a world option for these higher worlds, taller mountains (terrain gens mountains through the new 128 blocks) and deeper ground (more caves etc, down the extra 128 mountains would stay like they are now)

PRESS N + M TO MAKE YOUR VIEW TILT
VIDEO:

It was the same in the 1.9 pre-releases it you hold O it i will zoom out really far nearly infinitely. it will be removed in the full release like it was in the 1.9 if not the next snapshot. pay attention. you look like a fool when ever you flip **** about some new awesome thing that's already happened before. its like being in the suggestions forum.

only complant: The y and h button mess the game up badly. I tryed a diff. world but it didnt change and my character is now in a glitchy fase
