1.5 Snapshots Thread

This "Hopper", it sounds like one more step towards auto-factories!

do you think they are going to reset all nether servers, or just a few(only smp4,smp5 and smp6 for example)

If they ever reset the nether, they would reset them all, not just a few.

Aikar could reset different chunks. He could check them for no(or minor) player interference and then reload them.

Considering two new ores have been added, maybe there will be a wild and nether reset... Just maybe

Two?
What's the second? Unless I missed one. Which is entirely possible.

I think it's just one…
I went and googled for a second one, and there hasn't been any reports of a second ore…

I meant emeralds... Plus, the wild could use a restart because... Well, it looks like bombs went off.

Walk out for more than 5 minutes.

Nether portals also help.

The last time I went into unfounded wilderness... Twenty to thirty minutes. Smp2's wild is huuuuugely found.

20-30 minutes is not that long. Some people travel through the wild for hours.

Snapshot post coming soon.

Snapshot 13w03a

Dropper Blocks

Will place items into containers in front of them.

They will also drop items without shooting them, such as arrows and potions.

Minecart with Hopper

Simple enough, has all the feature of the hopper.

But in a Minecart

Command Blocks

If used with a comparator, they will output a signal depending if the command failed or not.

Also, a new command, /testfor was added to test for the amount of players on a server.

The command block will output a signal strength equal to the number of players.

Detector Rails

Will now also give off a signal strength equal to the amount of items in the container paced on them.

Pillar Quartz Blocks

Are now placed directionally, in the same way as logs.

Texture Packs

Button to change moved to options menu.

This now means that they can be changed in game.

You mean the button to change texture packs?

Yes

Snapshot 13w04a

Bone Meal

Has now been nerfed. It no longer gives instant growth to plants.

Instead, one bit of bonemeal is needed for each stage of growth.

Also now gives a green particle effect when used.

Renamed Mobs

Will now show their name above their heads within a certain range and looking directly at them.

(Only previously possible with external map editors)

Dispensers

Many features added.

They can now;

-Equip players with armour next to them.

-Activate TNT.

-Use bonemeal and flint and steel.

-Be placed in all directions, as well as droppers.

Nerfing bonemeal. Worst. Idea. Ever. This is so stupid. Why is it necessary to make it so a regular bone can't even make a wheat plant grow.

They've also added /scoreboard, which is basically like adding a bit of text to you screen that can track stuff.

Hmm.. I wonder if Aikar could use it to do epic stuff...

Or ruin the economy in some way... Joking
