Changelog: Since the release of the Pretty Scary Update we’ve been super-busy trying to fix as many reported issues as possible. We’ve now reached the point where we’ve fixed so many that we spend more and more time wondering “haven’t we fixed that already?” and “I wonder if this will break anything else…” In other words, it’s time to look forward to a new official update! The changes since 1.4.2 is: Over 100 issues fixed, full list here: 1.4.3 issue list Noteable: The missing song “where are we now” is now available, but called “wait” Noteable: Random falling damage due to lag fixed Noteable: Falling damage when riding minecarts fixed Noteable: Enchanted book exploit fixed Noteable: Slimes have correct collision box Noteable: Signs no longer lose their text client-side If nothing serious happens, we intend to release 1.4.3 next Wednesday.

Who is this mysterious artist?   Not much is known about junkboy, and especially not his face. It is understandable though why he chose to keep his identity secret, with Mojangs recent succes and everything. I did manage to find this video of an interview with the mojangsters, where junkboy is featured:

Changelog: A day -1 patch! Lovely! No but seriously, there was a big issue causing mobs to suffocate and fall through wooden floors that we really needed to fix.

Changelog: Releasing an early snapshot this week because we need to crunch out the pre-release as soon as possible. This snapshot has the following changes: Anvil block has been tweaked (it’s cheaper to create, minor visual changes, and you can repair tools using wood/ingots/diamonds) Bats no longer trample crops or trigger pressure plates Redstone repeaters can be “locked” (fixed output) by having a powered repeater connected to its left or right side Updated language files More bugfixes & tweaks!

Here is this weeks changelog: Added a new Anvil block for repairing, merging & naming items Added an option for cape-owners to hide their capes ingame Effects given by the Beacon will be less intrusive on the screen Level-up sound now only plays every 5 levels More bugfixes & tweaks!

Today a guy posted this screenshot on reddit: Titled: " I'm getting very tired of this. I'm sure my rep is terrible because of it. " And the same day mojang releases a fix for his problem...

Dinnerbone just tweeted: " Sneak preview of what I started to work on last Friday: http://t.co/5mNsw6AF Level costs are subject to tweaking, but I want them to be high " As you can see on the images below you can combine two different tools, which will merge their enchantments into one, aswell as their damage value. It seems that you can also rename the tool since there is a field called "Diamond Pickaxe" under "Repair & Name" It is most likely going to be able to do this since they implemented the NBT tags in the last snapshot.

Changelog: Minor terrain additions for the witch Flatworld configuration now allows you to generate trees, strongholds etc A number of new NBT tags for items (intended for custom map makers) The pick block action now works on items Pressing the 1-9 hotkeys while hovering over an item will put that item into the inventory bar The left-click action will no longer open doors, pull levers, push buttons or open trapdoors. Use the right mouse button! Firespread has been slightly nerfed again to prevent infinitely spreading fires More bugfixes & tweaks!

Here's the changelog: Lighting system overhauled. Lots of blocks interact correctly with lighting now (stairs, slabs) Few sound tweaks Fixed witch being white for some More bugfixes & slight tweaks! Furnaces now only project light from the front After the fixed lighting Before the fixed lighting Directional lighting projected through a half-slab There is a torch inside Even pistons can be used to create, delicate ambience lighting Some of dinnerbones tweets conserning the recent snapshot Nathan Adams @Dinnerbone " So farmland is broken. Okay, that's a start! Yay mass testing. Also stairs are darker than you'd expect but that's three characters to fix." " Okay so turns out the fancy lighting is much harder than I thought, so that's still going to look wonky on stairs/etc for a while :(" "Remember that silly lighting bug where world would generate with big black patches? Well you m...

Changelog: Updated and added new sounds by C418 Added a neutral mob Added a hostile mob (doesn’t spawn yet) Command block target parameters have been upgraded, check here for details: https://gist.github.com/3736487 Beacon artwork has changed Wood trunk blocks are now rotated differently. Instead of using the player’s position, it will rotate based on the face it is placed upon. This is mainly a test, so feedback is welcomed, but for me personally this way is a bit easier. The new mobs are: The Witch: Throws splash potions, which cause "Poison" and "Weakness" The Witch often hits itself too. Does not make any sounds. Does not drop anything The Bat: Can hang upside down on celings! Does not drop anything yet. Does not make any sounds. Flees when you get too close. They spawn in caves. Beacon The New sounds are: Placing dirt, makes a much "wetter" and "heavier" sound. Placing stone, makes a very low almost ...
