Minecraft Update Topic

[Megar]

Oh uh, forgot about the topic.
Too busy playing 1.8

[ChaosYoshi]

So....

Now that 1.8 is out, should we talk about 1.9?

Or just keep rambling on the long-awwaited 1.8?

[Megar]

When some more 1.9 shiz comes about, we'll talk about it.
For now, ramble.

[ChaosYoshi]

Is it just me, or was creative mode put in only so people could spam TNT, 'cause that's what I do.

I blew up a whole island of pigs from the inside. They never knew what hit them.

Can MoY or Suyo, sticky this topic? Also, while your reading this, unsticky the 1.9 thread, and can I take control of the minecraft updates? preferably in a new thread? (since i'd give more info and proof and be more up-to-date :3)
BUMP

1.2
12w07a/b
Added new world file format called “Anvil” (256 max height and 4096 block IDs*)
Multi-player light calculations do no longer cause affected blocks to be transmitted to the clients, instead the clients will recalculate the light on their own
Villagers will repopulate villages based on how many houses there are available
Some nights in villages will be worse than others…
Added a redstone-controlled light source
Decreased chance for the rare mob drops
All animals use the new AI system now
* The game can’t use the full range of IDs yet because there are still some assumptions that IDs above 256 are items.

Update! New version number is 12w07b, fixing the following problems:

Crash bug corrupting levels when spawning mobs above the 255th block
Sheep animation is correct in SMP

Currently in: 12w06a
Many minor bug fixes and tweaks
Doors have been changed to properly detect if they are open or closed. Double doors in existing maps will need to be updated
Villagers will move indoors during night and rain, and socialize with each other
Zombies will break down wooden doors on hard difficulty
Added cat sounds
Better movement for mobs in water
Added rare mob item drops
(other previous snapshots)
12w05b
We decided to do an extra update of the snapshot this week. The reason was because of the shift-click bug when crafting items, which would consume all the items in the crafting table and only produce a single result item. This bug is troublesome because it’s such a fundamental feature, and we don’t want to penalize people if they forget that it’s broken.

We also fixed so that cats can be told to sit with an empty hand.
12w05a
Many mob-related bug fixes (and some new behaviors)
Ocelots are easier to tame, and cats can be told to sit
Many small bug fixes and tweaks
Villagers will try to detect village houses and live in them
Updated language files (now with 50% less profanities!)
12w04a
New jungle-specific mob that can be tamed
Skeletons have new AI and a few new behaviors
Various minor bug fixes and changes
Added an experience item to creative mode
Added a flame item…
Updated language files
12w03a
Ladders regained their collision box, and vines are climbable when they have a solid block behind them
Added jungle biome (requires a new world) with new tree and leaf types
Updated language files
Dispensers will place mobs instead of releasing the spawner egg
Zombies have new path-finding AI
Wolves have new AI and can be bred (when tame)

12w02a (unknown)

12w01a
