1.5 Pre-Release (Finally) Ready For Testing!

[snapshot]1_5[/snapshot]

After weeks of hard testing, fixing, re-testing, and fixing even more, the 1.5 Pre-Release is now ready for testing! We are in the final stretch for 1.5, and while it has taken a little longer than many expected, there is a silver lining! Tons of features were added for the Redstone Update, and a landslide of bugs were swept away, to make sure the final release was as smooth and easy as possible.

Ready to see a feature list this time, instead of just bug fixes? Here you go!

1.5 Pre-Release Features:

Added Redstone Comparator (used in Redstone logic)
Added Hopper (collects items and moves them to containers)
Added Dropper (similar to Dispensers, but always drops the item)
Added Activator Rail (activates TNT Minecarts)
Added Daylight Sensor
Added Trapped Chest
Added Weighed Pressure Plate
Added Block of Redstone
Added Nether Brick (item)
Added Nether Quartz and ore
Added Block of Quartz, with half blocks and chiseled variants
New command: /scoreboard
New command: /effect
Containers and mobs can have custom names
Inventory management has been changed, for example you can drag-place items over slots
Texture packs now have separate images for each block and item, and can have animations
Nether Quartz Ore now spawns in the Nether
Smooth lighting now has three settings (none, minimal, maximum)
More detailed death messages
Some hostile mobs now are harder in Hard difficulty
Many, many, bug fixes
Removed Herobrine

Try out 1.5 early today, and enjoy!

Hey, would you look at that! There is no mention of bone meal being nerfed. Well, let us hope that this is NOT a mistake and than Mojang ACTUALLY LISTENED to their customers.

Hmm..am I the only one noticing more lag that previous versions?

Even compared to 13w09a..i was just playing that snapshot the other day with an HD texture pack and no lag. Now trying 1.5, even with a 16x texture pack, I'm lagging a bit. And compared to 1.4.7, it's lagging a lot more for me.

Oh, you're not the only one, believe me.
It's hard to develop a 128x texture pack when your framerate's suddenly been dropped to below 20 FPS...

Am I the only one who STILL has all the white lines around the edges of the textures? It looks horrible, but maybe I'm the only one.

Nope I get that here too, also some of the stack amounts are glitching (they go flickery in chests. especially around the upper left hand corner slot)

When using this command in a command block:

/effect @p[r=7] 1 1000000 2

it's giving me Speed 3 instead of speed 2. I think this may be a bug in the pre-release.

Edit: Also, when I replace two with any other number, the effect is always one higher except with 4 and up, in which case it just says Speed.

2nd Edit: Now it's doing it for what seems like all effects.

That's the way command blocks are coded. Level 1 potion effects are coded in as 0, Lvl 2 = 1 ect.
As for Lvl 5 potion effects. It has always only displayed the effect name, and never the level.

I'm sure they'll stop when people stop believing it. Stupidly enough, plenty of people still think Herobrine exists..

Probably when Herobrine in 0x10c gets removed. See here: Herobrine, or here if you don't know what 0x10c is: http://0x10c.com/

Herobrine was removed because... well, someone saidHerobrine wasn't in any version below
1.0.0, Herobrine was a "Zombie"But the pictures were showing a Zombie but A Texture
Pack was on that made Zombies look like Herobrine But!!!!! Version's below 1.0.0 and 1.0.0
doesn't count Herobrine was in Version's that were lower than 1.0.0

IMPORTANT MESSAGE BELOW!!!!!!!!

"So, if u want HEROBRINE back in the game u should
make a MOD that has a NPC that looks, does, and
build's traps Like Herobrine. AND DON'T FORGET!!!!!!!
make the NPC [Herobrine] ~Strong~ (as much hearts as Herobrine had)
