Snapshot 13w07a Ready for Testing!

It's time for another round of mini-golf! Wait, no...it's Snapshot Day! What lies in store for us this go-around? Not a revised lighting engine, unfortunately; Dinnerbone has said that the lighting engine is still being worked on, but isn't quite ready for public consumption just yet. Fear not, though! While it might be taking a little bit of extra time to optimize the lighting, it is certainly better to take a little extra time and get it right, than rush something that might not work correctly.

In the meantime, let's see what bugfixes await!

[snapshot]13w07a[/snapshot]

Bug Fixes:

Slight optimizations to lighting
Map item placed in item frame experiences Z-fighting
Nametag of certain mobs too low / too high
Team colors/prefixes/suffixes are not displayed with "@a, @p\, @r"

I still think it's worth waiting for the full release
But still one more step until the new version

You are obviously a very experienced programmer.

My thoughts precisely when I read his comment (including the sarcasm, obviously!).

Not sure if anyone else noted on the ai of the mobs but it seems that they are certainly a lot smarter. Similar feel to 'zombie awareness' mod right out of the gates. I really like this snapshot.

Hi guys. I live in Russia near city Cheliabinsk. Today, at 9 20 a meteorite came here and all windows blew up. It may be the beginning of the End of the world. So maybe it's our last snapshoot

... that's it?? It probably took longer to type that post than it took them to fix those bugs. 4 tiny bug fixes in like 10 days, and "still working on the lighting engine" which has been "worked on" forever and I doubt will ever happen.

it's ready when it's ready, this is not aneasy part to code it seems. and we porbably only found four bugs.

1.5 is kind of an awful update to bear the monicker "redstone update"

Where are piston optimisations so we can build auto vehicles and robots?

Once again Vanilla completely fails to keep up with the modding community.

I think it might have been just easier to use the Beta lightning engine (wich RARELY had those bugs) and release 1.5 and take their time after the update to fix it, it would probably be easier.

Beta lighting looked like utter crap.

I hope this is a joke.

I think it was...or a bad attempt at trolling. Still looking forward to the next update. The new lighting engine is going to be a big thing, so less haste and more good work is what I say.

really they had one week and this is all the bugs that they felt needed fixing?

while they get payed 50 dollars an hour

I bet they weren't even working alot of the time unless they were just working pointlessly on the lighting.

Hmm~

If he is going to present a re-written, brand new lighting engine in the next stable version, why should he do "Slight optimizations to lighting" in existing engine? O_o

This is what I'm getting from the new snapshot: Now you can make a spawner minecart that spawns spawners that spawn spawner minecarts that spawn spawners?!

You could already do that with a little MCEDIT.
