1.5 Snapshots Thread

Yeah, it's great being ninja'd.... -_-

No problem

I hate it that redstone blocks don't give off any light.
I hope that that will be fixed in the next update.

Some news for the latest snapshot.
Starting from 12w02a, there will be a big changes in texture packs.
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Texture_Packs#Future

These new items will be awesome for my interactive shooting roller coaster thing. And now inverters are small.

Don't you just wish that red stone was simpler... By the way, sorry for typos, I'm on an ipad.

I was watching you like most of the posts in my alerts lol
And there is plenty more to come, there should be another snapshot tomorrow.

That would involve removing features unfortunately.
Although it's only really complicated if you really get into it

Maybe... Maybe I should learn redstone. Probably will eventually.

Snapshot 13w02a

Texture Packs

Textures now use one file per block/item.

These are then put together at the game start.

When using texture packs, vanilla textures will be used if any textures are missing.

More detailed information can be found here.

Skeletons

Now have improved firing distance from 10 blocks to 15.

You will either love or hate this one.

Additions to Renaming

Monsters spawned from renamed Spawn Eggs will have that name on spawn in.

The name will also appear in death messages when killed by any renamed hostile mob.

Also renamed Villager Spawn Eggs will show the name of the egg in the top of the GUI.

Renamed Containers will also show names in this way.

Death Messages

Are now much more specific in their details

Player fell off a ladder

Player fell off some vines

Player fell out of the water

Player fell from a high place

Player fell into a patch of fire

Player fell into a patch of cacti

Player got finished off by Player/Mob using Weapon

Player walked into a fire whilst fighting Player/Mob

Player was burnt to a crisp whilst fighting Player/Mob

Player tried to swim in lava while trying to escape Player/Mob

Player walked into a cactus while trying to escape Player/Mob

Player was slain by Player/Mob using Weapon

Player was killed trying to hurt Player/Mob

Quartz Blocks

Added, including slabs and stairs.

Activator Rail

Must be powered by redstone, these are used to power TNT minecarts.

TNT Minecart

Send a explosion rolling down the tracks to your enemy!

Explodes instantly if derailed or punched in creative whilst moving.

But I was just about to finished my project made from of over 600 stacks of smooth stone

What just hit the roof? Oh! It was fortune Pickaxe prices cause there gonna be going up (I know that was a horrible joke, forgive me)

The quartz blocks look epic... Especially the columns

Will the quartz only be spawned in 1.5 areas?

Will you be able to use fortune or silk touch on it?

IDK about the fortune or silk touch, but I assume it will only spawn in 1.5 areas just like emerald ore has in the past.

Yes to both I think.

Snapshot 13w02b

Better late then never, here is the bugfix for this week.

Plenty more fixed, including;

-Trapped Chests now transmitting redstone signal through one block

-Hopper Item now looks correct when dropped on the ground.

-TNT minecarts are now able to be dispensed onto tracks.

- Also will not disappear on reload.

Full list here

is the quartz going to be in EMC or not?

Of course!

well i'm terrified of the nether, so i won't be getting some anytime soon xD
