1.7 Sneak Peek: Sunflowers, Falling Particles
One of the curiosities of Minecraft has always been compass directions. The in-game compass has not ever pointed north, but rather at the player's spawn point. Most people generally assumed that east and west was easily determined by the sun and moon rising and setting, but other things - like cloud movement - always added to the confusion. So, who has the answer?
The humble sunflower!
While many of the upcoming developments of 1.7 have been kept under wraps, Jeb revealed this delightful addition to the game, which is confirmed to always face east! Very nice!
Dinnerbone also gave us a brief look into an upcoming feature which will help with immersion - impact particles! Basically, if you fall more than a certain distance, then you will generate particles from the impact of whatever block you land on. Sweet!
Keep an ear to the ground, because there is a lot more coming up, and you don't want to miss it!
from listening to your rant of pointlessness. Thank you!
modding will be even more awesome when they add that sexy api
For example,
On Cobblestone "the L shape on it's side" in the upper left corner, will "always" point West.
Texture pixels on most all "building blocks" will always be the same no matter where you place the block and as such will always face the same directions, compass or no compass. ~ /facepaw
Running low on ideas?
How about a Mirror Block or Polished Chrome Block?

ok if the addition of horses alone was enough to make people have thier fps drop by 20 frames, what do you think will happen once they add another hundred species of horses? AND ALSO MAKE IT REALISTIC!!!! That will be a massacre of frames. I have a feeling you WANT our computers' to die quickly in a painful way for the computer and the poor, poor user will have to go through lag disease (its been studied by the international institute of minecraftia).
actually its a 3x3 square, it's hard to tell that from the textures but if you look at the width of the stone blocks you'll see that it is a farther screenshot than you think and that the flower is centered on a block
what kind of an ignorant, meaningless pervert are you?! Horses are awesome! sunflowers are awesome! biomes are awesome! you suck.
I hope so!
i feel like its going to be garrysmod in a few years, im afraid of that... i watched this game grow up please don't be a garry's mod PLEASE
Acquire a better computer.

1.9 will have furniture and 2.0 will have guns,cars and current.
Um... How can I change my grey Steve face into a cooler picture
