So clever, so sly.

Was playing PC earlier using the NoCubes Mod, and I thought, wouldn't it be a good idea to actually have alittle terrain in the world instaid of cubes? But not as much as the mod itself and not as steep. And while we're at it, how 'bout making Steve look better?

Wanna download the NoCubes Mod? Get it here! http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/2603891-no-cubes-minecraft-breaking-622-cave-update/

wrong topic, there's one for suggestions, but I don't like it. It looks horrible and would probably be horrible to maneuver caves. Torches would act weird too.

That mod would make better sense working with a sandbox based off polygons, not voxels and cubes.

Searge has been posting lots of pictures of FPS improvements, but honestly I'm not convinced they'll work for me considering the FPS improvement Jeb talked about in 14w29b never happened for me.

I saw the 2000+ fps and crapped myself.

The new update (14w29b) is think is kinda crappy to me. I mean even on the forums they say it's crappy. I mean delayed block breaking, blocks render invisible when placed, it's bad. Anyone else agree?

There is alot of bugs in this update:
Bug MC-71 – Mobs don't spawn next to water streams if the x and z coordinates are negative
Bug MC-267 – Potion effect status doesn't show If the inventory was open when it was cast upon the player.
Bug MC-393 – Starvation prevents sleeping in bed on peaceful.
Bug MC-404 – Viewing a map while invisible still shows both hands holding it
Bug MC-455 – Standing on exact X.0 Z.0 coordinates prevents breaking/placing block in North West

Official Quote from Mojang Industries: We can never be sure if bending space around time is the right approach until we get feedback from you on the 14w29b snapshot that bends time around space instead. We do that by using the newly implemented threaded render batch system. That’s a lot a fancy sounding words, so if you don’t know what that means, it should improve performance even more. Or crash horribly. But without your feedback, we’ll never know which one is true.

The snapshot is out and holy ♥♥♥♥ is it a good snapshot.
First of all, 14w29 bugginess is basically gone for me at least.
Not really noticeable framerate improvement but maybe it'll be different when I'm actually playing. I still get 400-500 normally.


AND ♥♥♥♥ BANNERS
Here's a banner I made for my guild from GoR as an example:

I definitely noticed an improvement. I went from around 40-50 FPS normally to 150-200+. Holy balls man.

Also, anyone else notice the new F3 information? Shows your processor, game resolution, and other things, I think it's really neat.
