Minecraft Megathread; yeah its update 1.12 big whoop what about it

[Regulith]

ugh, I really want to use the snapshot features in my main world but I rely too heavily on a few mods that require modloader (mainly redstone/coal blocks and I was hoping to try matmos and optifine) and it isn't compatible with the snapshots

hoping I can find some middle ground that has some of the new features and still works with modloader

edit: I went back as far as 36a and it still doesn't work, looks like I'll be choosing between playing with new features and playing on my main world

What's with Reg and being a richard lately?

sorry I just tend to lash out at people I find absolutely insufferable

I want to make sure everyone understands now - they are planning to do major changes to redstone in 1.5 which will break a lot of contraptions, but will make redstone more reliable so you can make machines that don't break at random and such. That means a ton of old maps relying on redstone will probably get busted. You can't complain - because in the long run, better constructions will be made based of the changes.

We almost never interact, so making such an opinion doesn't seem fair or sensible.

Redstone breaks at random?

Redstone breaks at random?

I still to this day cannot fathom how pistons work in relation to redstone
I swear you can get a current to them from three blocks away from some directions, and from others they only respond to the current coming on but don't switch off until another block update happens

It's less that it breaks at random and more that it's broken pretty much entirely. There's probably no consistent API going on in the backend allowing for consistent behaviours between different blocks, so everything reimplements the redstone receiving functionality with different code and it's loving stupid

Check SethBling's redstone with Grumm (Mojang staff) videos for examples of buggy redstone behavior. It's weird.

I started playing the latest snapshot (12w42b) and... well, I thought I read that slab lighting was fixed?



Looks pretty fixed to me.

There's still some (very very minor) errors in the world gen lighting, too.



They're not nearly as bad as they used to be, though. New worlds all.

[GEN.Fire Bird]

eww...smooth lighting is disabled M, fix that.
