Minecraft 1.3

[Maxloader]

The server is running bukkit again! i had to sacrifice the Nolagg plugin though.
If Nolagg gets updated we can have it back.

You all should know the drill by know but just to confirm it and as info to new players.

Minecraft 1.3 comes out tomorrow and bukkit +plugins will probably not update anytime soon etc etc...
So if that is the case i will close down whitelisting tomorrow and put the server on vanilla mode.

Don't be too shocked when this happens because the normal mode is on standby.

Edit:

I updated the server and there is no bukkit available yet.
So for now we are running on vanilla and i will check multiple times a day to see if there is a bukkit release.
Whitelisting is also closed due to this.

Just a heads up

There will be no protection on certain areas when this happens, so please stay away from the Redstone School etc!

Because of the pre-release, the mods should update a bit faster. In theory. Can't wait

[Maxloader]

So does anyone know some of the major changes in this update?

[scope_ion]

The game now runs an internal server in single-player mode
The single-player server can be shared on LAN, with LAN server detection
Made it possible to use client-side commands by enabling cheats (this is defaulted as disabled for old worlds)
Added an optional “bonus chest” to get started quicker
It’s now possible to trade with villagers. Added emeralds as a currency
You gain enchantment orbs from other tasks than just destroying monsters. Max enchantment level has been decreased to 30
Servers can automatically suggest and distribute texture packs
Added new world map elements (does not need a new map, but they’ll only appear in new areas)
Added cocoa beans
Added an Ender chest
Added tripwire
Stairs and levers can be placed up-side-down
Wooden logs can be placed sideways

Plus a bunch of bug fixes.

Added cocoa beans.

I swear I've got some of those already, from a mob-spawner-area chest down in the deep dark mines. Regardless of that though... 1.3 looks like a ruddy good update.

You've only been able to find them in dungeons before

Making a Cookie the rarest of scared treats!


Now they grow on the sides of Jungle trees

Not really, you know now though

[GeeDave]

I'm pretty sure if I jammed a screwdriver into my electric toothbrush, I could use it as a drill.

... Not a very good one mind, would have been better off with just the screwdriver.

Huzzah. Good to see the Worldmap back, that's for sure. Now I can get back to spying on people during work.
