Sounds like every YouTube/Facebook update ever.

I noted the ladder update. It seems like a good idea, but everyone will forget up and it'll get reverted. Can't untrain both clicks doing the same thing in a mind.

[Kingdaro]

the ladders were much more of a problem though. many more people hop on top of ladders than they do left-click doors.

[MegaScientifical]

It is one of those controls where you only notice how annoying it is to not have it when it's gone. Think about your game interaction when left click does nothing. Of course it won't always be a problem, but you'll find yourself trying to click and getting nothing.

On another note, Simon doesn't know 1.3 fixed Skeletons fighting each other, and I think he still doesn't know this. It's sad because he tried to get a group of Skeletons to fight each other so he could escape, which since they only fight for a moment didn't work, so he died.

[BlockoCrafter]

then again, you could argue that right-click is only for placing blocks.

>Makes using stuff separate with the E key
>Changes opening inventory R

I dunno, some ideas I thought of.  This can let you place furnaces against each other with right-click, or E if you wanna open it.

[Kingdaro]

i just realized how you could basically mine infinitely down to bedrock using turtles, but without any fuel.

just have two turtles and a startup program for both of them. place one on top of one another. in both turtles, the startup program would dig the turtle above it, dig the block below, then replace it below it, and turn it on.

when the turtle gets turned on, its startup program runs, then that turtle digs the one that it just got placed by, digs below it, turns it on again and the cycle repeats.

[Kalphiter]

when the turtle gets turned on

I didn't know you were into that stuff.

[Kingdaro]

so fune

• Minor terrain additions for the witch
• Flatworld configuration now allows you to generate trees, strongholds etc
• A number of new NBT tags for items (intended for custom map makers)
• The pick block action now works on items
• Pressing the 1-9 hotkeys while hovering over an item will put that item into the inventory bar
• The left-click action will no longer open doors, pull levers, push buttons or open trapdoors. Use the right mouse button!
• Firespread has been slightly nerfed again to prevent infinitely spreading fires
• More bugfixes & tweaks!

Also, facepalm:

The redstone changes we did yesterday will not be in 1.4. We fixed incorrect behaviours, but those behaviours are used in many contraptions

So he's telling us he fixed a bunch of problems, but we won't get them until 1.5 because stuff depends on the broken system? Dude, we have the forewarning. It's not going to change much if you wait that long to apply it. If you're so much into redstone as to make stuff like this, you'll be able to fix it in a timely manner for 1.4.

[Paradon]

Minecraft updates are always really loving boring nowdays.
Everything will get spoiled whenever you want it or not.
There's no hype nor speculation because everyone can just use the loving snapshots.
I don't give a forget if there's some game breaking bug after release as long as they fix it in a couple of hours.

[MegaScientifical]

Paradon, at this point, having multiple full public releases would hurt the game since so many people depend on mods which need updates every time that happens. There have been so many bugs in these snapshots, and making it into the full release, we'd have 1.4.12 on our hands. I listed a bug that has existed since the first 1.4 snapshot, and they just fixed it for this snapshot. Snapshots help. In fact, Minecraft updates are more exciting, because instead of months of nothingness where you're playing the average game, you get to try out the new features, point out stupid problems so they don't end up in the public release loving you over, etc. You don't live with as many major bugs since they can be make it into a snapshot instead of only at public release points.


Edit: "Hmm, lets test naming and loring items in the snapshot... Getting the NBT right could be a pain... What to put, though...?"



Edit2: This one isn't as bad.




Edit3: This is sorta fun:

[Electrk]

Those are painfully unfunny

[Mega-Bear]

Broken record made me laugh.
