Upcoming Minecraft features

  1. Yeah this basically is the beta version. Snapshot is just another way to say it. You report errors and glitches to the Developers and they fix them, then they release a new snapshot (Update). Since it's not the fully developed version, yet they are still updating it, then it would be called or referred to it as a Beta test version.
  2. I would still personally call it snapshots because that's just what each one is, a "snapshot" of builds in progress.
    Minecraft left being a Beta when it updated to 1.0.0

  3. Using the term Beta when referring to Minecraft makes players think back to the days before Minecon in Las Vegas when Notch officially released 1.0.0 and soon after handed over the reigns to _Jeb who systematically destroyed the core of Minecraft and brought in additional coders to help him in his nefarious plans. /run-on-sentence

  4. Can you explain what changes in particular have destroyed a portion of old-school Minecraft after 1.0?

  7. beta = pre release minecraft was released and packaged. all these snapshots are version updates not betas also super necro much?
  8. I got really excited when I saw shaun post something, guess it was for nothing :(
  9. How were you not watching this thread before? :p I thought it was sticky?
  10. So, 2015... 1.8 coming...
    FARMER VILLAGERS OF COURSE. 3 or 4 per farm and done. All my upcoming farms and constructions are already being adapted to work with 1.8 features. It will me simply amazing. I'm having brainstorm every moment that i think about 1.8.
  11. Two things surprised me:
    1. Shaun posted again.
    2. So did ISMOOCH.
  12. ...
    That is definitely a bump :p

    1.8 is not my favorite as far as features go, but I can't wait for the new doors...
  13. All of 'em :p
  14. Um, huh? You do realise this post is from years ago, right?

  15. I actually didn't.
  16. A WEAPON UPDATE AWESOME PS I HEART TNT
  17. I know this is an old thread, but it's also pinned so I see no harm in reviving it a little bit. Also because we shouldn't ignore history: this thread got bumped from 2013 into 2014, from 14 into 15 (even though there were only a few months in between) and now it's time to pull it right into the 21st century! Errrr, 2016 :D

    Tomorrow afternoon (local Californian time) the new features will (probably) be presented at Minecon. The next update (1.11) is said to be a survival update.

    So what do you think could be added?

    The current snapshots already show a change with the hunger system (sprinting and doing stuff cause less hunger, which also means that you'll have less options to eat during a fight (and eating will also heal you a bit)). It is also said that hunger will show itself while riding a horse or sitting in a minecart.

    Not too sure I like those, but on the other hand shields will block more damage. When a burning zombie hits you while you're blocking with a shield then it can no longer set you on fire. Creeper explosions will be fully blocked too.

    I'm actually hoping for passengers on horses. It seems like a logical addition now that we can use a boat with two players.

  18. Nothing of much worth.

  19. I have lost much faith in what mc devs can do. I believe they are going to up the difficulty in skeletons having them sprint and when your in close range they will fire faster because why not? They have been doing it exclusively to that mob for the longest time since I started this game. Next, they are going to start adding more to the nether making it worth while to go out there since they added more blocks that are nether based in 1.10. Possibly creating a new monster or boss in the nether. A lot of people on Reddit asked for Corn to be added, we might be getting what we asked for. Other than that, nothing new to the biomes, mechanics of the game, tools, and how you play the game before.

  20. I can agree with that to some extend. It has always surprised me how they sometimes manage to break properly working mechanics in a snapshot, even though that feature was supposedly left alone.

    That is actually already the case (faster firing when you're closer). But because of that they also lowered the damage which a skeleton can do at close range.

    Maybe they'll add nether hounds, then Aikar can sue them for intellectual infringement which would be settled outside court and then EMC would suddenly become infamous and millions of players would join :D

    On the other hand...
