Doors stacking is the best part of this snapshot.

Let´s check it out

Edit: SlimeBlocks are awesome they need to add Magmacream Blocks too The Textures from the new stones look awefull D:

new stone types! awesome

Nice and all, but...

a -recipe- for mossy stone? Ugh...

At best it could have simply gathered moss (bringing possible use for a sponge tool crafted from sponge blocks/sponges to clean off), but to simply craft it just seems kinda silly.

Hate to be that guy that finds something about the update to complain about, but I had to say it.

*EDIT* Is biome generation changed? I have temperate, well-watered grassy plains right next to desert. Not quite as well as the previous update.

Curious to see how trading has been changed.

I think that's referring to using mossy stone *in* recipes. So we can have mossy slabs and steps.

I'm looking forward to the adventure mode updates. I want to put players into a world that limits their activities so I can tell a story.

Oh, good.

OMG. Much awesome. So change. Little bug. Wow.

I hope they improve the new stones textures. They look like colored static.

Good job..... i guess >.<

Now iron farms are easyer to build with Stackable doors

And i very like that you need Lapis Lazuli to enchante and not gold <3

You can't possibly expect texture packs to update that fast

Amazing! Stackable doors

Slime blocks are crafted using 9 slimeballs in the crafting grid. They are a "bouncy" block, but they seem to have a scaling-down feature (i.e. if I fall on to one from 5 blocks up, I'll bounce about 3 blocks into the air). They remove all fall damage if the player lands on them. Though slime blocks appear to be transparent, they transmit redstone power like opaque blocks, and mobs can spawn on them.

Villagers now unlock two trades at once, and give experience for trading (around 1 level if you have no experience beforehand).

Villagers now have "names" which correspond to their class at the top of the trading screen. It seems that even villagers which were formerly of the same type have different names (e.g. some blacksmiths are now "Armorers", some are "Weapon Smiths", and some are "Tool Smiths". This also seems to affect the items they trade; Armorers sell armor, Weapon Smiths sell swords and axes, and Tool Smiths sell shovels and picks. All of the varients sell emeralds for coal, iron, and diamonds.

Priests will now sell emeralds for rotten flesh (I had to give 37 flesh to one, and 40 flesh to another, but it probably varies more than that.) They also will sell emeralds for ender pearls (4 ender pearls for one emerald) and will sell lapis at a rate of 1-2 lapis:1 emerald. (Finally renewable!)


Farmers will now sell emeralds for string (I had to give 19, but again, it probably varies.) A farmer sold me an unenchanted bow for 2 emeralds. A farmer bought 12 pumpkins for an emerald, and sold 2 pumpkin pie for an emerald. He also bought 9 melon blocks for an emerald.
The Gravel-to-flint trade actually became somewhat useful; for the price of one emerald, the farmer will convert 10 gravel to 10 flint.

The librarian's book-for-emerald trade has gotten slightly cheaper; it only charged me 9 books for an emerald, rather than 11-12. The written-book-for-emerald trade has gotten more expensive, requiring 2 written books for an emerald.

It seems that librarians can now sell more than one enchanted book at a time. This is probably a bug (see more at mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-44351).

The iron-for-emeralds trade has become slightly cheaper on blacksmiths; I got a blacksmith trading 7 iron for 1 emerald (in contrast to the 8-9 emerald trade from before.)

The trading menu will now update on-screen (i.e. the red X will appear over a trade without having to reopen the trading interface).

The new bouncy block is awesome! And on my birthday, too! I need to know what block ID it is to make a superflat world made out of them!

It's ID 165.

What are the new stone types?

Quote from Blanzer

Sorry to complain, but I really don't like the idea of other stone types.
It feels like they're ripping off mods like TerraFirmaCraft.

Otherwise, stackable doors are awesome.

I understand Diorite as a sort of white granite, but I don't understand the reasoning for a vague stone like Andesite, which, in Minecraft looks like normal limestone.

Maybe if they went with something more recognizable like basalt.

Here's what I found out so far:

- Slime blocks give no fall damage, are broken in a millisecond, and are BOUNCY.

- There are 3 blocks: Diorite, Andesite, and Granite, and their polished forms.

- Enchantments are represented by a number superimposed over an 'enchantment blob' and tell you the name of one enchant and imply more. The number of all possible enchantments is given by this number. With only the item and your experience, you can only get 1 enchantment. To get more enchantments, there is a slot for lapis in which you unlock enchantments with each nugget.

- I see no difference with repair.

- Villagers have two products to initially show instead of one, and are much faster to display all wares.

Will edit more as I find stuff out.

Hey what about for once, you actually say what's new instead of "major changes"?
PS: this annoys me so much that i logged in just to post this. The last time i logged in was over a year ago.

They deliberately do that so that you download the snapshot to see for yourself.

Tried it, crashed repeatedly once I walked about 1 km. Is this supposed to work with 32-bit java or are the 32-bit users screwed now?
