And a whole bunch more that weren’t on the bug tracker! USE THE BUG TRACKER TO REPORT BUGS, PLEASE!

Please report any and all bugs you find in Minecraft to bugs.mojang.com. If nobody reports a bug, a penguin gets sad. Also, no bugfix!

To get snapshots, open your launcher and press the “New Profile” button. Call it “snapshots” and check the box saying “Enable experimental development snapshots”, and save. To switch to the normal version, you can select it in the drop-down at the bottom left corner of the launcher. Back up your world first, or run the game on in a different folder (See the “new profile” dialog).

Snapshots can corrupt your world, please backup and/or run them in a different folder from your main worlds.

Crippling bug in this snapshot, don't bother trying to load worlds that have item frames, as it will crash your game.

Indeed, what does sentience mean? Don't have the chance to snapshot right now, but I'll have to try it.

Yep agreed, same thing happening to me and pretty much everyone on my server. As soon as you try to render a item frame it crashes

How funny is it that the best feature of 1.8 wasn't even conceived or coded by Mojang.

Now if we could just get boat controls back...

From Wikipedia:
"Sentience is the ability to feel, perceive, or to experience subjectivity".
Tends to be used in science fiction in relation to AI- think Terminator! D:

I wonder the exact same thing..Every time someone doesn't get that Azog the Defiler was mentioned in The Lord of the Rings' appendices. Yes, I do read too much.

It crashed when I logged in and turned around. So I reverted to the previous snapshot and removed all the item frames from the walls. Went back to 14w18a and now it does not crash.

You act so smart and yet do not realize what people are really asking: People want to know this means in terms of the game.

Will the game actually do something if I type "I hate minecraft" into the chat, is this referring to the mod API, or is it simply a joke.
This is what I believe people are asking anyway, and it's what I'm asking. I know the meaning of the word; it takes somewhere less than an elementary reading level to comprehend it.

That's what I'm saying, man. I wish Eloraam hadn't abandoned the project
Only sad part is that they only push 12 blocks instead of the almost infinite amount redpower supported, and they don't have a form of covers to prevent them from affecting certain adjacent blocks.
