That's just sweet, what's the glowing blue?

Water it looks like

1.7 is no where near ready. They are talking about releasing a patch with just pistons this week and then the adventure patch later.

 

[Rub'Rum]

Frankly, I'd rather they just wait than release another micropatch. Yay for running minecraft servers and headaches.

 

[Maniacal]

I'm still waiting for more shapes.

 

[croxis]

Such as this?

 

[Maniacal]

Yes but as part of the game, not a mod/plugin.

 

[croxis]

1.7 comes out tomorrow. It will only add pistons and a couple of bug fixes. If you play on an MP server please remember to not update until the Mp server updates.

 

[civ_king]

How do you prevent it?

 

[Skwink]

You press "Don't update". If you don't have that, you're Minecraft launcher is WAY outdated like mine was for a few months.

One thing I want to see is slippery terrain when it rains, or when water(flow) has been over it (and for a time afterwards). Slippery tiles would show a shade darker as thought they're wet. Water should hurt, too, if you jump from say say, 30-50 feet.

 

[Maniacal]

Water NOT hurting is a GOOD thing since its used for lots of quick drops and stuff. Also I don;t know about you, but wet grass isn't THAT slipper. Same with rough stone

Although unless lightning causing fires can be turned off easily weather will remain off on the server I play on anyway (a couple of mansions burned down).

Wow.... O_O

Nice, though creative servers have it easy. They don't have to dig up 5000+ blocks of sand to make a Biodome.

I had hoped to make a tower on my original house near it for a good view but someone built a castle in the way.

That's ridiculously beautiful

I do make it more easy on my server to be nearly creative by making it easy to make money

From the twitters:

1.7 Thursday (my bad)

1.7 will include pistons, shears, redstone->repeater fix and fences on fences. It will not include the new lighting

Oh yeah, I forgot. 1.7 includes new cobblestone and clay brick textures

For your information, we have confirmed that the clay bug is fixed in 1.7. #embarrasmentevaded


From Notch's blog on 1.8

The update is pretty big, and will change a lot of how Minecraft is played, focusing on making exploration and combat much more rewarding, and bringing in a bigger sense of adventure to the game.

Already implemented are new complex terrain features, at least one new mob, some interesting new combat mechanics, a new lighting engine, and some experimental new gameplay ideas. To come is more interesting farming, bigger incentives to explore, and npc villages.

 

[Skwink]

Very interesting.

 

[Civ'ed]

hmmm, looking better.
