M!C's News Compilation

[M!C]

The title says it all. In this topic I'm going to list what news about minecraft (no scrolls, no cobalt, no minecon) can be found on Notch's and Mojang's blog as well as Jeb's and the "new guy's" (aka Mojang's new AI specialist, aka jonkagstrom) twitter.

Please keep in mind that my personal opinion on what is important and what isn't may not always match your's. If you feel that I left something out / missed something feel free to remind me (include link please).

Since Katalliaan kindly reminded me: All of this is in UTC+1.

If you find something in these brackets [], it's a comment from me ...

I think you guys should change either what makes them want to breed, or what heals them. I have too many wolves now. ;~;

als Antwort an @ReddCarran ↑
jonkagstrom
Yeah right now they get heal and breed power at the same time - next snap they will only breed after fully healed.

The changes will affect their behaviors, so yes it may break some mob traps. I try to keep stuff as similar as possible.

For the record: Currently Sheep eat both grass from grass blocks and from tallgrass. They will eat grass regardless if they have been sheared or not, but baby sheep will eat more often than old sheep.

Och med dom orden så passar jag micken.

As of yesterday, Jens Bergensten is the new lead developer on Minecraft. He will have the final say in all design decisions, so he will kinda sorta become my boss, I guess. I’ve promised him to not pull rank. ;)

We’ve been working together on Minecraft for a year now, and I’m amazed at how much in synch we two are when it comes to how to design the game. And when we don’t agree, we discuss it and something much better comes out at a result. He’s truly a great person to work with, and I feel very confident handing over the leadership of Minecraft to him.

If you want to contact Jens, he’s on twitter as @jeb_, or you can email him at jeb@mojang.com

Personally, I will now rest for a while, then get back to work refreshed and eager. I’ll be helping out with Minecraft, of course, but also starting work on some new project.

11:42 AM
Ah! I think that's because you made it so that when an entity falls/jump on it, it revert back to dirt. (Is rain an entity?)

Soon.

(First of all, sorry about the masturbation joke in my last post. It’s currently my favorite joke. :D)

It’s 10 pm. In 10.5 hours, we will leave for Arlanda Airport. Soon thereafter, we will fly to Las Vegas!

The last few weeks have been incredibly stressful and emotional in many ways, and I feel so relieved to finally have a finished version of Minecraft to release to the world on Friday. But that doesn’t mean we’ll stop working on Minecraft! We’ll keep adding to the game just as we have so far, and we have many exciting plans for the next year.. some of these will be announced fairly soon.

One thing that kind of fell between chairs is the mod support.. Sorry about that, I take full responsibility for letting that get forgotten about. But when it comes to the new launcher, it got folded into a new exciting project I won’t talk about yet.

But back to Minecon! For me personally, it’s going to be three full days of chaos and fans, which will probably leave me extremely tired. Then there’s a big party with a huge celebrity act playing. And then I get to relax. I plan on playing a LOT of games this winter.. Battlefield 3, Saints Row The Third, Diablo 3, Skyward Sword, and biggest of all, Skyrim.

With all these bugfixes going on, are you still going to put up a pre-release to see if everything's fixed or go straight to release?

Pre releases and Adventure Updates

The adventure update is going great! We’re adding features and cramming in content, and then started feature creeping and content creeping. What we’ve got on our hands now is somewhere in between a finished Adventure Mode update and a version of the game we’d be proud to call just “Minecraft”. Not “Minecraft Beta” or “Minecraft Alpha”, but just plain and simple “Minecraft”.

And we’re going to release that version of the game live on stage in Vegas at MineCon! Woooo!

Up until then, instead of trying to squeeze in another real release, we’re going to do weekly (or so) pre releases, aimed at advanced players. We release these via twitter, so make sure to follow me (@notch) and Jens (@jeb_) if you’re interested in those.

Also, we’re finally adding a dragon.

Bottles, too. Def. looks like Alchemy is on the way

Is anyone else as curious as I am to know why they have the items in their inventory that they do when they post screenshots? makes me wonder what they're doing with them right before or planning to do with them after.

I would be very surprised, if they didn't put the things in their inventory on purpose ... just to show them to the community.

Haha, actually, I meant more why does he have a wooden sword and bones and cactus. Curious what sort of tomfoolery he was getting up to

These are probably there to make it less obvious he has something of interest in his inventory ... or just so it doesn't look so empty. :P

We play video games, he needs to try harder then that

Looks like they're adding repair of items as well.

Yep, and it looks quite promising so far (see Notch's last tweets).

I think this style of update and release is really working out for them. I'm getting excited to see what else will be coming now.

These last few notes. I...
I've never stooped to notch-bashing, but I want to now.


Thanks for posting the round-up.

Seriously man, thanks for putting together this summary thread. This will actually save me a lot of time in tracking down pertinent tweets, so I really do appreciate it :)

To prevent feeling like you're missing out by not repairing, it's ultra easy. Combine two damaged items to get a new item with less damage.

Oh no, not Fallout3-style repairs... I hate Fallout3-style repairs. :|

(This thread is awesome!)

Hehe...yeah, I've been playing a lot of New Vegas lately, and I agree with you on this one. One nice thing they included in Vegas though, that I don't think was in Fallout 3, was weapon repair kits that allow you to also repair weapons with various parts you find here and there (I think it takes duct tape, scrap electronics, scrap metal, a wrench, and wonderglue if I rember right).

IMO, this makes it a lot less annoying. You can still repair with parts off of other weapons (which does makes some sense), or you have the alternate route described above.

No idea why they didn't seem to do this for armor though (unless I just haven't found the crafting recipe yet).

Granted though, I think this makes a lot less sense for Minecraft items. Like, I could see you salvaging parts from one complex machine, like a gun, to improve the condition of another, but a pick axe? Not so much. Where I think this system really falls apart in Fallout is when you start doing it with simple items like baseball bats, and the stuff in Minecraft is almost entirely of this nature.

That's what I don't like. Well, that combined with the fact that so many of these features resemble Bethesda's stuff. Not just a little. A lot.

To me it's like somebody who gives you a gift for your birthday and it's actually like something they wanted but you're kinda interested in too? So they buy you the thing they wanted themselves?
