- Despawning cured zombie
- Lava decay fails to schedule block update
- Blocks stop updating one minute after entering the Nether or the End

It would've been funny if the empty space happened to be a deep pit to bedrock.
Just sayin' to the efficiency freaks like me.
8 coal blocks = 9 stacks of whatever you want to cook/smelt
Is it A? B? UWMFVBSOP?
As for the armor, I would be happy if, by extension, the blacksmith villager -- or maybe a new horse wrangler / rancher villager, since the blacksmith has so many trades already -- was made to sell horse armor as well.
Then get a time machine. These things take time.
Totally forgot about that! This sorta changes everything. I now think it is on just the right level of difficulty to obtain. However, now horse armor will get exhausted quickly... I hope they do the same thing for armor as saddles are now.
Ok... So... I just tested this... that if flippin awesome. I didn't know that the butcher sold saddles... none of mine ever have! but Hey, I love it. Thank you VERY much for pointing this out.
Jebzay~ Um I'm pretty sure that they mean that carrots and potatoes always give you one when they break unless they are fully grown where they give you more than one, if they aren't giving you more than one when you grow them, you aren't benefiting from farming them. So no, it wouldn't be a feature.
This is boss! I'm testing coal blocks right now. I am glad you can craft hay now but the horse saddles were removed. D:
But I DID manage to craft my horse (did you see him? he's totally black! Ninja Horse! xD) some diamond horse armor before it was removed.
Me: 1
Jeb: 0
Coal blocks are pretty cool whether they are a good idea or not. Just a modified redstone block texture, I've seen. As furnace fuel, a stack of them is...epic.
I'm going to do some more stuff with coal blocks.
It doesn't happen to me.
Well with every update, it seems to be worse and they say nothing about it in the "bugfix" or "what's new" area on their forum. It should be the #1 issue
IDK for the rest of you guys, but I have pretty strong computer - GTX580, i72600K@4GHz, 64bit OS and JAVA... Maybe my computer is too overpowered for this D:

You say that you don't have issues with the world generating slow, just in front of you, while you run forward ? And no black areas ?
Have you tried changing the render from far (default) to a different one? I use tiny due to my hardware being outdate, but I can play the game. It also helps to update the video card drivers.
Are you also running the latest version of Java?
Patience friend. They can't add it immediately because they still need to add parts of the engine to the game, which they are doing in small amounts to ensure something doesn't break after they've completed the whole thing, which would mean searching through an entire code just to find the problem.
Mojang, I believe, stated that some of the features in the April fool's joke were going to be implemented into the actual game.
Ok, but from this new updates I maybe got the wrong feeling that they actually spend their time adding new features, instead solving bigger problems with the code itself. I tried every possible tweak out there (yes, new drivers, JAVAn voodoo magic, etc...) As far as I see things, they shouldn't put so much effort in adding puny things in MC like horses and stuff, they should build a sturdy engine first. Look at the mod community: I am not asking the impossible - if OPTIFINE can do it, why they can't find a way to make it better ? No, instead they add horsies to the sluggish engine... How adorable...
Maybe they should put mr.sp614x (optifine author) to their payroll, then we should have a decent game!
