Of course this render's moot the half dozen or so armor stand mods that have already been created, but what can you do. I wouldn't go hating on them for putting something in the game that already exists in mods. If there is something which they think would fit well and be a good addition to the gam...

Interestingly, this update came with the ability to summon lightning bolts with commands, as well. I can only imagine that the thought process was something like - after making it so that charged creepers caused head drops, they realized that charged creepers are way too unlikely to spawn for them t...

Confirmed in version 4.99999A0C Marsupial?!
Specific behavior:

• When the output slot of the furnace is empty, 8 cookies will be produced
• When the output slot of the furnace has anywhere from 1 to 15 cookies, 1 cookie will be produced
• If the output slot is full, it will not try to cook any cookies

The thing that confuses me most about this update is why they decided to make bunnies tameable. Wolves, horses, and even cats have at least some functionality when tamed, but at this point it seems like they are just making every mob tameable because they can.

Thanks a lot, that worked perfectly!

Until now I have been playing BTW with the default textures, but today I was struck with the inspiration to try a texture pack. I am not sure what mods are necessary to use a custom texture pack, though. I know that I need a mod to use HD textures, and have also heard mentioned a "connected tex...

Sounds like you had that one coming to you ;)

I wouldn't trust that anyway, as the wiki is not always correct about things like this. Anyway, that sentence was added here: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Villager&diff=650837&oldid=650748 on June 2, which means a couple things: a) it is quite possible that whoever added it...

...And fuck. Can't even jump a full block. I may be wrong, but I assume what you were referring to here was your inability to jump and place a dirt block under you. Just so you know, this is not due to not being able to jump a full block, but because of hardcore bouncing - a mechanic that makes it ...

One of the best things about this change was how it resulted from what was before just a glitch. Before, floating sand was just an oddity of the world generation that didn't really have a purpose. Since this change, I've begun seeing it as just a natural configuration of sand - one which no doubt wa...

I recently managed to get a level 5 priest, and my thoughts were that he was somehow related to endermen and their powers. Taking ender pearls and being able to turn them into eyes of ender... and his final form made me think of endermen (I think he released some enderman-like particles when he tran...

Does anyone know if attacking/killing villagers has any negative effect? They still release the "bad" particles when you attack them, but from what I've seen it doesn't seem to do anything.

Wow new release already, this looks exciting. I wonder what Hardcore Sinkholes could be? I haven't the faintest idea. Oh well, guess I shouldn't worry about it ;), can't wait to try this update out.

I thought you fixed that issue a while, ago though (although you were not specific about it, I always assumed that what Duru described was what you meant). Fixed vanilla exploit where players could place doors in such a way that zombies couldn't break them down. Regardless, it doesn't seem like some...

Is anyone else having deja vu about the first two posts of this thread, or is it just me?

It feels odd that crafting tables and furnaces don't give me the item back when I break them, even if I use the correct tool. I know that you did this to enforce the idea that they are permanent workstations and make us put thought into where we put them, but it seems very inconsistent with other ma...

Uh... what exactly is that about? I can't tell anything from the video...

Why is everyone suggesting deserts? Is it just because it's a flat, open area or is there something about deserts and endermen I don't know about?

They're is a very small chance that they will drop what they wear, but the fact that they drop it all the time is FC's. The issue was whether or not mobs drop items at all when killed by non-player sources. That hasn't changed at all since experience and rare items were introduced. Mobs still drop ...

Kilns just need brick blocks on four sides I'm pretty sure; it doesn't matter which four.

Speaking of barriers, what are your thoughts on the new barrier blocks? I can see a few uses for them, but I think that for the most part they are going to be abused - in general, having walls that you can't see tends to be just obnoxious and annoying. That being said, in my opinion acceptable uses ...

I believe that that the way it works is that if you use a skin that is in the new format, then the extra features (different right+left arms, armor layers on body/arms/legs) will be visible only on versions 1.8+; otherwise the skin will still work, but it won't have any of the new features. That bei...

Was anyone even making pigman farms anyway? As far as I know there isn't really a good way to build one in vMC and anyway, gold is useless enough that there is no reason to want one.

I agree fully with the above sentiments. What things ingame are you planning on making major changes to? I don't mean to ask for everything you are doing, but I'd just like to know if there is anything changing (like villagers, obviously) since otherwise I feel like I have to start a new world to ge...

Clearly, FC needs to add that. (It should cost 20 diamonds and need the new super-crucible to make it though, that way it isn't OP)
