and something that made me lol. Pistons Now take 0.2 seconds to expand 0.2 seconds in a tick based game must be singleplayer if anything
Nobody knows for certain what will be in 1.3, until it's released. Things can - and will - change, before release. Just sayin'. I'll be happy if buckets stack (which they do in the recent snapshots). And PT, have you seen that you can place red on upside-down steps? That'll be nice. However, the more significant changes are emeralds/villager-trading, and ender-chests - both those aspects will make a huge difference to EMC (if they're implemented).
I think empty buckets will stack too, up to 16. Or I could be mistaken and remembering a future update as I read ahead on those update lists. Edit: ha beat me
The new hardcore Mode for multiplayer could be used for the PVP project- Once you die, you are banned from the server. When it is time for a new round; the blacklist could possibly just be reset. This is my idea.
That's been used for a lot of servers, like hunger games and some other pvp servers I dont remember xD
