You can find that type of news across a lot of minecraft forums as well as tweets. Minecraft Forum: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1942430-17-sneak-peek-sunflowers-falling-particles/ Jeb Tweets: https://twitter.com/jeb_/status/368020870230728704
I just wanted to create a thread to keep track of the 1.7 features, including pictures and things, and now I found this... No need for it anymore, I think? Edit: Okay, I'll just try to make it.
First and fourth post, overview of pretty much all things revealed yet.http://empireminecraft.com/threads/1-7-update-overview.29233/#post-559849
Expect a revised and updated statistics and achievements system. Check Dinnerbone's post. (I was one of the ones who figured out Dinnerbone's puzzle.)
It may be a good idea to update to 1.6.3 before going to 1.7, i hope EMC has heard of that important biome structure bug/conversion fix >.>
i dont know how beefy the server is, but i know from much experiance that exploring faaaaaaaaaaar away form spawn eventually starts killing the server.... also i dont want to have to spend multiple in game days JUST to spawn new chunks to explore :/ ((many peeves from past experiences))
also... there has been a few pre-releases out for the update made available threw the launcher and YouTubes showcasing the content there in ;P
No, you can have heaps of pictures. My computer nearly melted when it had to make the Amplified world . Focus is on the Amplified world too.
EMC is now running on 1.6.4 Though you can connect just fine with 1.6.2, 1.6.3 and 1.6.4 clients (far as i can tell)
