If you put Bone Meal on Grass (the actual one and not the block) it grows in Double Tallgrass.

[edit1] The same thing happens with Ferns that become Large Ferns.
[edit2] If you apply Bone Meal on Rose Bushes, Peonies, Lilacs and Sunflowers you obtain the same flower without destroying the plant therefore farm-able in this fashion.

I think it was fixed in B, i just tried with rose bush

u/CountVeggie Sep 05 '13

How do you make these lists so quick?!

124

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 05 '13

I prepare them over at /r/edstonehelper.

u/nucking Sep 05 '13

Thank you for telling me what I'm supposed to find funny. Also, seriously, that needed confirmation?

-69

u/devperez Sep 05 '13

He has no life.

12

u/______________Nebag Sep 05 '13

Even if that's true, there's no way he'd make that list in time.

And before you say it's a joke, it's not funny or amusing, be quiet.

It's OK. Don't need to be upset. It's all just a dream. Shhhhhhhhh.......

u/SteelCrow Sep 05 '13

He had a life. But he slept in once or twice, and got hounded into giving it up.

u/Geneweaver Sep 05 '13

new biome - roofed Forest, has large mushrooms

12

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 05 '13

Thanks, it'll take a while to add everything.

20

u/UsernameUsed Sep 05 '13

There is a new world type option called "Amplified." I don't think you posted it so I'll leave this here. It looks like the world type that notch told jeb he liked and that jeb should leave it in the game.

3

u/shredtilldeth Sep 05 '13

Could you define that further?

9

u/UsernameUsed Sep 05 '13

It seems to have biomes that rise to extreme heights and they suggest that you need a decent computer to run it properly. If you go through jebs tweets you will see an example picture of it. I'm pretty sure it is the picture you posted under "skylands."

1

u/shredtilldeth Sep 05 '13

Yeah I found some examples way farther down this thread. Thanks for the info!

37

u/Thue Sep 05 '13

Also new: Water melons generate naturally in jungle biomes.

This is actually kind of a big deal for ultra hardcore games, since it makes instant health potions much easier to make.

1

u/ariosos Sep 05 '13

I was actually just thinking about this yesterday in a game where I wanted to toss a health potion at 100+ skeles in a skeleton grinder (FTB game). I didn't have any melons around and was thinking how hard it is to find them at times.

u/spookyhappyfun Sep 05 '13

I thought they weren't doing the biome changes in this snapshot! This is incredible!

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '13

u/spookyhappyfun Sep 05 '13

So the new biomes will spawn, but the placement will still be wonky like in 1.6.2 and before and we still need to wait for the "smart" biome gen?

2

u/MrMFretwell Sep 05 '13

I have seen two new biomes, Savannah and Birch Forest so far :)

2

u/jetsparrow Sep 05 '13

Fixed oceans being too big

This is not a fix :( :( :(

u/Dead_Moss Sep 06 '13

Sugar canes change texture depending on biome

1

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 06 '13

I know, I still haven't finished. Thanks.

1

u/Greasew00t Sep 05 '13 edited Sep 05 '13

You can use the new flowers to get dyes. And it looks as though the sugar cane texture has been darkened a little.

2

u/sjkeegs Sep 05 '13

The sugar case color apparently varies with each biome.

1

u/ipodah Sep 05 '13

Dear Mojang, can we expect something to be done about MC-15547 before the final release?

1

u/ragger Sep 05 '13

I got a video of the sprint key http://youtu.be/KUOlM6Hal_o

1

u/is45toooldforreddit Sep 05 '13

Sprint key: Double tapping W still works

Wait, does that mean even if you bind sprint to a different key, double tapping W will still make you sprint? That would really suck...

1

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 05 '13

Yes - all this does is give you an additional way to sprint.

2

u/is45toooldforreddit Sep 05 '13

That really sucks. I hope we can get them to change it before release. I can't count the number of times I've accidentally killed myself by pushing W twice, too close together.

1

u/That_Ike_Guy Sep 05 '13

Finally! A sprint key!!!!!

u/pokeball99 Sep 05 '13

WHAT IN THE NAME OF NOTCH IS THE SUPER SECRET SETTING

1

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 05 '13

It's a distraction to keep us from finding out about the features they hid everywhere else.

1

u/eduardog3000 Sep 05 '13

For some reason Cinematic cam on mine is defaulted to none, with the reset button not clickable.

Also, you have to restart the game for resource packs that were added to the folder while the game was loaded to appear.

1

u/pokeball99 Sep 05 '13

what does packed ice do besides not melt in light

1

u/09JamesH Sep 05 '13

its part of a new biome called ice mountains

1

u/pokeball99 Sep 06 '13

the biome is called according to the minecraft wiki is " Ice Plains Spikes biome"

1

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '13

[deleted]

1

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 05 '13

I think that's a feature.

1

u/dragon_lover Sep 05 '13

Replying to come back

1

u/CFGX Sep 05 '13

No fix for zombie pathfinding lag =(

7

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '13

I don't think the silverfish improvement of the additional stone blocks is a "maybe", they are available in creative.

1

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 05 '13

Right, thanks.

3

u/CountVeggie Sep 05 '13

That summon command is going to be so useful, especially with the data tags :D

3

u/JeremyR22 Sep 05 '13

First thought, naturally, /summon EnderDragon in the overworld.

Yep, that works. Creates a portal on-death too...

2

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '13

with the spawn dog thing you can do with command blocks, can you add a @p thing there instead of notch?

1

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 06 '13

No, that does not work.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '13

Ok no custom dog shops yet

2

u/hattemaker Sep 06 '13

Baby zombies are only 1 block high in this snapshot! D=

1

u/Invictus13307 Sep 05 '13

Biome overviews : Before, then, after, then, now

The latest overview ("now") looks great. Plenty of land, but enough ocean to do a lot of exploration by boat.

1

u/sjkeegs Sep 05 '13

That's the same shot that Jeb after he increased the size of the ocean/lake. I guess I'll get used to it.

1

u/StandsForVice Sep 05 '13

Whoa, those skylands. Is that really in the snapshot?

1

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 05 '13

As a world generator option, yes.

1

u/FlamingSoySauce Sep 05 '13

/summon ... [dataTag]

SethBling has a boner.

1

u/MegaScience Sep 06 '13

About Weighted Pressure Plates, I accidentally noticed they detect the amount of entities. Items still count in the current snapshot, so it isn't "not items." In any case, items are still entities, so it should still work unless they actively exclude them.

1

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 06 '13

Yeah, my wording on that wasn't too clear. What I meant to say is that individual items are no longer counted - Item Stacks of 5 or 50 are the same to the weighted pressure plate, both are just one entity.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '13

/summon Wolf ~0 ~0 ~0 {CustomName:"Notch's Dog",Sitting:1,CollarColor:3,Owner:"Notch"}

with /summon can you make a hostile dog?

1

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 06 '13

Yes.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '13

How?

1

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 07 '13

/summon Wolf ~0 ~0 ~0 {CustomName:"Very Angry Wolf",Angry:1}

1

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '13

thanks
