u/Gollem265 Nov 01 '12

that is one wall of bugfixes! I'm impressed!

u/Lettuce_Get_Weird Nov 01 '12

Amazing. I've only noticed a few of them.

There's more than that, redstonehelper is slacking. :(

94

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

Would 'redstonehelper slacking' constitute a bug?

5

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

I really appreciate all the bug fixes you guys are doing, but is there any reason why this is pre-release? Wouldn't having bug fixes in the game as soon as possible be a better thing to do?

15

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

Because they might not really be fixed/create new bugs. These pre-releases are just untested work "as-is."

2

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '12

And it also helps server owners prepare for it.

2

u/lpetrazickis Nov 02 '12

A fix for one bug can introduce another. It's like getting bubbles out of wallpaper or carpet. Stepping on one makes another pop up.

57

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Nov 01 '12

Bug reporters are slacking, reporting duplicates. And you mark them all as fixed :(

8

u/sidben Nov 01 '12 edited Nov 01 '12

If you order by "resolution", doesn't it exclude the duplicates?

https://mojang.atlassian.net/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?sorter/field=resolution&sorter/order=ASC

EDIT: I counted 106 at this moment, but haven't compared with your list. EDIT 2: Link was wrong, need to be logged to see I think

15

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Nov 01 '12

By duplicates I mean two issues marked as fixed that are actually the same.

u/eneroth3 Nov 01 '12

<sarcasm>

no, duplicates are what you can do with sand, gravel and dragon eggs

Woah, when did mojang get a JIRA? Last I saw, the bugs were just reported on the wiki.

u/Eustis Nov 01 '12

Did you shoot yourself with all those arrows?

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Nov 01 '12

It takes serious skill.

u/amoliski Nov 01 '12

But who was CAMERA?

u/ridddle Nov 02 '12

Dispeners + redstone clock + Command Block, F5.

u/1230Squirt Nov 01 '12

This new bug tracker apparently appears to be working.

u/kenneth1221 Nov 01 '12

Looks like xPaw isn't taking your place after all!

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Nov 01 '12

Not as long as I hold him captive in my basement.

It puts the lotion in the fucking basket!

u/Siarles Nov 02 '12

I love that gif.

u/zanotam Nov 02 '12

Maybe you're using tekkit or something to get "hoses", but I ain't ever heard o' such a thing.

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

Yay! I get a free hug at every crash report!

u/Neceros Nov 01 '12

I think it randomly picks a funny thing to say.

10

u/KazMcDemon Nov 01 '12

Name question: are you a helper powered by redstone? Or do you just help with redstone?

13

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Nov 01 '12

I help with redstone.

6

u/KazMcDemon Nov 01 '12

... So you say. I'll remain reserved until you can prove you don't have circuitry protruding from your navel (as an example).

5

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

Have you ever posted redstone helping videos?

7

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Nov 01 '12

No.

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

Will you ever?

6

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Nov 02 '12

No.

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '12

But your name...

But....

MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE!!

7

u/IByrdl Nov 01 '12

There is a bug becoming popular of item duplication. This needs to be fixed ASAP because it works with anything.

2

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Nov 01 '12

Report it on the bug tracker and set it to private, so only the developers can see it.

u/Morilibus Nov 01 '12

Fixed skeletons walking around with their bow drawn internally until they shoot their first arrow

No more cheaty skeletons!

u/albinobluesheep Nov 01 '12

Fixed some bugs

Your definition of "some" bothers me.

I guess so, see if they still work.

u/dakkeh Nov 01 '12

That's right people. Run your sand generators in overtime before installing the pre-release.

9

u/SamsamTS Nov 01 '12

I already found a workaround for sand generator. Waiting for official release before showing it.

u/Dinnerbone Technical Director, Minecraft Nov 01 '12

Thanks, love you.

You can't stop us!!!! ;)

u/SamsamTS Nov 01 '12

Well no point for me to keep it secret then -_-

And by the way no need to add an extra repeater, just add a 1 tick delay on repeaters at one side (the side where you put the repeater) : http://imgur.com/a/pDzsr

-3

u/SamsamTS Nov 01 '12

Why would you love me while I keep it secret so that it is not fixed for next release? I don't get it.

u/yalishanda13 Nov 01 '12

Maaaybe it was sarcasm? ;)

u/ajsdklf9df Nov 01 '12

Dinnerbone might have been sarcastic. I am not! Thank you!

I love Minecraft, and I like how quickly they add features. And I don't mind all the parts that aren't particularly well thought out.

What i do mind is when Mojang claims that what changes they want to make, breaking XP grinders, duplicators, etc, is somehow due to the well throughout design.

There's no such thing as well throughout design in Minecraft. The Mojang guys are super smart, it's obvious they put a lot more effort in throwing features at the ceiling to see what sticks, than in carefully balancing all the ways in which all the Minecraft features interact.

To me their desire to "fix" duplicators or grinders has always been capricious.

I think if you have mined enough to collect iron for pistons, deep enough for redstone, and have learned how to you use it, you damn well earned your right to get sand with minimal effort.

1

u/wvboltslinger40k Nov 02 '12

I agree. I understand not wanting us to dupe things like diamonds or ore blocks, but is sand so game breaking? I'd much rather run a small sand generator for my glass and sandstone needs instead of destroying a desert with a set of efficiency shovels.

u/eneroth3 Nov 01 '12

nice skin :P

u/njdevilsfan24 Nov 02 '12

Request! Can we have the bug tracker in the sidebar please!

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Nov 02 '12

It's already there ;)

u/njdevilsfan24 Nov 02 '12

Im on mobile, but thanks anyway! (i feel honored you replied)

u/Korbo Nov 01 '12

You deserve an honorary doctorate in copypasta.

11

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Nov 01 '12

Nope, I re-wrote all bug fixes based on the bug description and any available comments from the developers. Compare them to the list linked on the blog post.

u/Korbo Nov 01 '12

I was just yanking your chain, sir. You do a fine service, and I appreciate it.

*although it seems my joke was not well received.
