I see some of you haven't noticed that the ghasts aren't the ones making those screeching sounds. Ghasts are really low pitched mumblegrumble sounds. Pigmen are screeching and stuff.

Other way around, look in resources/newsounds/mob/ghast  All of the ghast sounds are high pitched, their moans are high pitched, their screams are high pitched, etc.  The /mob/zombiepig is full of low pitched sounds.

I redid the biome-tones so the trees are blood-red in the nether now :D  Same with grass, but you have to hack it in.

These should make the grass/leaf tones much more realistic.  Place these in the "misc" folder inside the minecraft.jar (on a mac, just put the misc folder in the same directory as the minecraft.app).

In cold areas, the grass will look dry and cold, in rainforests, the grass will be rich and dark, in deserts it will be dry and dead, and temperate grass is average colored.  The leaves get dark and deadish looking in cold areas, in rainforests they are a dark and rich, in deserts they are dead and dry.  I cannot make the edges follow the color, they do not change with the biome.

Anyone found out how to get the final 3 new blocks of the 6?  The wiki only has three of them.  They are supposedly all form the nether.  We know of the mud, the bloodstone and the brittle gold.  What are the others?

So what do Ghasts drop?

They obviously drop powered minecarts.

If you dig out a small space, 3x3 works best, you can go into it and place a roof 3 blocks from the floor of the one block deep hole (so you have 2 meters of standing space), giving you a space to hit the feet of enemies while they can't do anything to you.  Zombie pigmen drop cooked pork.  This also works in avoiding ghasts if you stand in the middle.

why not make it out of the glowing rocks?

Because fire is cooler.  And it fits the theme a lot better, and it is semi-unlimited, it is easier for me to find one iron ingot per 255 (or whatever) fires than one glowing block per light.

Also, how can you place water in the nether?  No matter what block I place it on, it just evaporates.

I built a house in the nether.  I have windows and ghasts keep flying into them trying to pathfind their way to kill me. :D

I just use the natural ever-burning stone in the walls to make lights.  They double as incinerators.

How do you find pumpkins?

They will randomly spawn in new chunks.  I have only found 3.

....
why cant i update minecraft?

Because too many people are trying to update at the same time.  I updated as soon as Notch said on twitter that the update was out, took me around 2 seconds.

Fishing is now finished.  Auto-correcting the facing of stairs, chests, furnaces, etc is GONE.  Tracks are better in SMP now.   Am I late?

Notice how big actual biomes are, notice how the new biomes are roughly 100m².  

quote from the facts thread:

Fish MAY NOT be added in the update. Notch is behind schedule and fishing is going to be a last moment addition.

Notch said on twitter that he was going to code them tomorrow.  I quoted it a few pages back.  Last minute cramming =/= not going to be in the update.  Notch so far has been pretty good with last minute cramming.

I saw him, he was wearing the Notch clothes, and offline people wear normal clothes.

http://www.minecraft.net/skin/skin.jsp?user=Notch  He was using that skin?

By the way, Notch has left coding the fishing part of the update until tomorrow.  He told "jambo jarboni (ChocolateySyrup)" that he would put that off until Saturday on twitter 10 hours ago.

I watched this exact video the day it was posted, back when I was obsessed over what they said spore would be.  I was somewhat disappointed when the "creature creator demo" thing came out, and was nothing like the one in the video, then I got the real game, hoping that it was only because that was only a demo.  The real game sucked even worse, and they seemed to have gotten rid of some of the features from the demo.  I played through the whole game, got bored and played it every so often so I wouldn't disappoint my parents having begged them for Spore for my birthday.  I now never play it, and having taken year 7-10 biology, the game frustrates me on how unrealistic it is, such as cells having eyes, or the same cell simply growing in size, then walking onto land and being around a foot in length.

Also, the less effort it takes to kill my prey and survive, the smarter I become, and have the need to create tools to aid me in my survival... :l  In a single generation, every single one of my species undertook the same transformations that I did, but we could have easily survived without the new parts/color-change.

or a water-fall

True miners use lavafalls for vertical transport.


Also, what happened to Notch tweaking biomes today?  He never updated on that, and it is 9:00 pm in Stockholm - Sweden...
