Zombie Pigmen now rarely drop gold ingots and gold tools, gold armor?
Skeletons will occasionally drop their bows.
I've heard that certain mobs drop iron tools/armor as well but I haven't yet gotten any myself

It seems that with Jeb in charge, everything's updating faster :o


My older bro was talking to me about the whole "villager spawning in village houses" thing, and misinterpreted it thinking that you would be able to create villages.

That would actually be cool, though. Creating villages, having villagers in it and even having certain villagers give you items (butchers give you meat, farmers give you wheat, seed and tools, blacksmith gives you armor, weapons and ingots and so on)

Zombies drop iron ingots and tools, too.

Also "On hard and hardcore difficulty, Zombies will break down wooden doors."
YES

Same here. I never go underground. I mostly get iron from the sides of mountains, and most of my torches are made from torches.

They're expensive torches in the first place

It takes like four torches to make a torch

Zombie Pigmen drop golden tools.

This game is more and more about killing in ever update.

i made it slightly less lonely by kidnapping adopting a cat

i don't think there's much more to add to the sandbox part, other than more redstone contraptions.

also on my regular world I encountered seven or eight skeletons and some creepers/zombies in a single part of a cave
there was no skeleton dungeon

Villager breeding.

Jon said he made it so Villagers look at each other in a implied meaningful way, like talking. AKA maybe they'll have dialog in the future? Or Zelda-esque noises implied speech?

At least in the last snapshot, they went into any structure. That means you could sort of make villages. Just without the specialized villagers.

The hell? I thought I saw a quarry in the Jungle, headed over. Really strange smooth stone pillar type thing. Looked like some kind of Jungle Ruin.

Is that God's Thumb?
Holes reference.

It was another weird structure I found, but I assumed it was some weirdness with combinations of hills with falling sand.
