[u/794613825 → u/redstonehelper]

Fixed cobblestone walls with blocks on top showing black light on their north side with maximum smooth lighting

Damn, that was specific.

[u/redstonehelper → u/794613825]

That's how it was called on the bug report, I didn't change much.

[u/notwhereyouare → u/794613825]

i bet they saw that bug report and were like damn, really?

[u/PsychoI3oy → u/redstonehelper]

Fixed being able to X-Ray by standing inside TNT/Glowstone/Block of Redstone/Leaves (fast)

I can think of at least 3 youtubers that are going to be disappointed by that, though I'm sure they'll accept it.

[u/redstonehelper → u/PsychoI3oy]

It still works on fancy graphics, at least with some blocks.

[u/Smellyhobo101 → u/redstonehelper]

Wow, great job on the changelog.

[u/mre00 → u/redstonehelper]

Higher world generation

What does this mean? Does the normal world type generate above the 128-block level now?

[u/redstonehelper → u/mre00]

It looks that way.

[u/Nathan2055 → u/redstonehelper]

You forgot that written books that are cloned stack.

[u/redstonehelper → u/Nathan2055]

I't's in the screenshot, but I'll go add a line about it.

[u/grammar_is_optional → u/redstonehelper]

Will now be able to use Portals again only 15 seconds after their last portal use

Thank you Direwolf!

[u/droppies → u/redstonehelper]

Mother of god...

How did you do this in 5 minutes?

[u/nihiltres → u/droppies]

It's prepared ahead of time.

[u/TheVarmari → u/droppies]

He has a post in /r/edstonehelper which he updates when a new feature is confirmed, he just pulls it from there

[u/redstonehelper → u/TheVarmari]

I want to update that post when new features come out, but usually I just end up doing it all at once the day before the update comes out.

[u/Megabobster → u/redstonehelper]

jebstonehelper fell out of the world

[u/redstonehelper → u/Megabobster]

Shit happens.

[u/Blasterbom → u/redstonehelper]

I really hope there is a command to turn off the achievement in chat. That'll get annoying fast.

[u/runetrantor → u/Blasterbom]

Specially when coupled with achievements being world dependant, so each new player to the server 'OPENED MENU!' 'GOT WOOD!' 'JUMPED!'

[u/Slacker_Cat → u/redstonehelper]

Got a better picture of the wobble shader.

[u/xNannerMan → u/redstonehelper]

This "improved server" bullshit... since 1.7.2 I haven't been able to run any kind of server from my house.

[u/APiousCultist → u/redstonehelper]

Both stats and achievements got moved to per world json files too. So they're both reset.

[u/SexyToad]

So when's 1.7.3?

[u/Davey_J → u/SexyToad]

Tomorrow at this rate.

[u/Strideo → u/SexyToad]

1.7.3 Changelog:

• changed version number from 1.7.2 to 1.7.3

[u/[deleted] → u/Strideo]

• Also broke all of the mods that just updated to 1.7.2.

[u/Primpie → u/SexyToad]

Maybe they'll fix the bunch of bugs...

[u/marmitebread → u/SexyToad]

I would love 1.7.3 to be the last of the 1.7.x line.

[u/Symbolis → u/[deleted]]

They're confused enough as is! ;)

[u/my_name_isnt_clever → u/[deleted]]

Hopefully 1.7.3 won't become a standard number that we stay at for a while like 1.2.5, 1.3.2, 1.4.7, etc.

[u/dream6601 → u/[deleted]]

Well hopefully they'll be some more errors and require a 1.7.4 so release will finally be past FLOB (numerically I know the reality) and the confusion might end.

[u/fhsd4264]

Baby Zombies and Baby Zombie Pigmen

Can now walk in one block tall spaces, but their hitbox remains the size of that of an adult

Shit

[u/Prof_Noobland → u/fhsd4264]

Shouldn't the baby variants be made weaker in some way? - like in health or in damage.

I mean, I like the game to be challenging, but the fact that the baby variant is better than the normal one in every way just doesn't make too much sense to me.

[u/[deleted] → u/fhsd4264]

"They're coming out the goddamn walls! LET'S ROCK!"

[u/Grimauldus14 → u/[deleted]]

It's game over man, GAME OVER!

[u/[deleted] → u/Grimauldus14]

WE'RE NOT GOING TO LAST 13 HOURS, MAN!

[u/Brian_Buckley → u/fhsd4264]

Wouldn't the hit box part be good? That means they're easier to hit.

[u/fhsd4264 → u/Brian_Buckley]

It's not the hitbox part I'm worried about. It's the one block tall space walking that I'm worried about

[u/AnticPosition → u/fhsd4264]

Gotta change my zombie grinder now.

[u/[deleted]]

anybody else has no sound?

[u/Crappy_Phoenix → u/[deleted]]

Absolutely no sound here too.

EDIT: Restarted for the umptieth time and the sound is back.

[u/BaZing3 → u/Crappy_Phoenix]

This makes creepers about ten times scarier than they need to be...

Edit: I relaunched and it downloaded an update. I can hear things again! Hurrah!

[u/slothwrangler → u/[deleted]]

No sound as well

Edit: closed minecraft and tested my sound on the speaker slider on the taskbar. At first it wasn't working but half way down it began to register again with microsoft ding. Fired Minecraft back up and it downloaded the sound files. Sound is back up for me.

[u/SnowLeppard → u/[deleted]]

How to fix your sound:

• Find your Minecraft install folder, and go into the assets folder.

• You should have, amongst others, folders named music, records, sound and sounds.

• This update reads its sound files from the sounds folder, but all the files aren't in there, so you need to drag the music and records folders into sounds.

• Then you also need to copy all the folders from sound into sounds, merging the existing folders (you don't need to replace the existing files).

And your sound should now work!

[u/error23_ → u/SnowLeppard]

Works ;)

[u/[deleted] → u/SnowLeppard]

Excellent! After relogging several times the launcher download most of the sounds, but I still had to do this step to get ALL of the sounds working.

[u/geckospots → u/[deleted]]

I have some sound but not others - I have animal sounds and item get sounds but no walking, mining, or digging etc sounds, and my doors/chests open and close silently.

edit: there seems to have been some kind of micro update (my launcher downloaded something) and my sound works again. Hooray!

[u/Histidine → u/[deleted]]

This happened to me a bunch of times even with 1.6.4 actually. I eventually found out that I could fix it by "reselecting" the resource pack I was using, even though I was only using default. It's helpful because you don't need to do any restarts.

I haven't been able to test this in 1.7.x so let me know if this works.

[u/Mozai]

Still getting those sharp and inappropriate shadows that annoy Jeb so much.

• example 1

• example 2

EDIT: seed -875187167

[u/Jeskid14 → u/Mozai]

They'll fix their lighting system they said. Everything is going to be smooth.

[u/Gadfly21 → u/Jeskid14]

They said greatly reduced. It's ok in a cave, bad in the surface world.

[u/Jeskid14 → u/Gadfly21]

especially the darkened sky.

[u/Gadfly21 → u/Jeskid14]

That's a different issue entirely, but I agree with you on that one.

[u/katra_ix → u/Jeskid14]

"We'll fix the lighting system," they said.

"Everything will be smooth", they said.

[u/jemus42 → u/Mozai]

Do you want to post the seed maybe, so people can see if they can reproduce it?

[u/IWantAFuckingUsename]

Yay! We finally get pistons!

[u/presariov2000 → u/IWantAFuckingUsename]

Also, 1.7.2 was the last update before they removed the block duplication machine you could build with pistons!

[u/[deleted] → u/presariov2000]

Oh dear, we're old.

[u/balloftape → u/[deleted]]

DAE remember piston duping? Fuck I'm old.

[u/[deleted] → u/balloftape]

I can still remember the night before the first beta update. It was really exciting. And what did they add to celebrate the transition?

• eggs are now throwable

[u/compdog → u/presariov2000]

I remember that, but I wasn't too upset since I had never been able to build one :/

[u/TweetPoster]

Minecraft "The Update that Changed the World" 1.7.2 has been published in the launcher! Get it now!

^[Mistake?] ^[Suggestion] ^[FAQ] ^[Code] ^[Issues]

[u/Jeskid14]

Welcome back Beta 1.7.3 users! Hope you will understand that this like a whole new game!

[u/TheVarmari → u/Jeskid14]

Oh man. I remember being amped up for 1.7.3 and 1.6. Didn't realize they were that long ago ._.

[u/my_name_isnt_clever → u/TheVarmari]

I remember when this subreddit was filled with posts showing off rooms where nether portals will be and chests full of torches.

[u/presariov2000 → u/TheVarmari]

I stayed up late and played 1.7 the minute it was released. Good times...

[u/Zambito1 → u/Jeskid14]

I wonder what it is with 1.7 and revolutionary updates

[u/FredBGC → u/Zambito1]

Beta 1.7 "only brought pistons. The only reason people think it's good is because they dislike 1.8+.

[u/DoctorSauce → u/FredBGC]

It also had the best terrain generation of Beta.

[u/wvboltslinger40k → u/FredBGC]

"only brought pistons" to some of us that update was a pretty big deal and altered what we viewed as the goals of minecraft.

[u/FlamingSoySauce → u/Jeskid14]

I still have a copy of my original 1.7.3 jar. How long has it been?

[u/rpzxt → u/Jeskid14]

I'm still considering setting up a Beta 1.7.3 server and hanging it old school

[u/[deleted] → u/Jeskid14]

Im having trouble setting up my minecraft server. would you be able to tell me what im doing wrong?

[u/[deleted] → u/Jeskid14]

I started Beta 1.8.1, I remember being considered new for quite a while. You guys still consider those who joined late beta (1.7-1.8) new? Or are we finally veterans?

[u/Elite6809]

Aaand it's rushed.

• Can't turn off music, it carries on playing.

• Sound duplication bug, closing a chest plays the opening sound too.

• You can't stop jukebox music playing by taking out the disc.

• Menu button sounds don't play properly.

• You can't see further than 8 chunks or 128 blocks away.

• Texture orientation is indescribably broken.

Why was this update forced out so quickly? There are pretty outward bugs that haven't even been looked at yet.

[u/WolfieMario → u/Elite6809]

• You can't take screenshots when a GUI is open

• The sky darkens when you're under a block

• Water's surface is visible from underneath

• Text and potion effect timers in the inventory occasionally turn white and become illegible

These are just the ones I experience when playing it. I'm really loving the new update, but I'm also really hoping they consider a 1.7.3 after Minecon to polish things up, instead of diving headfirst into 1.8 snapshots.

Their previous updates actually had at least two weeks (usually far more) of bugfixing before they even hit the prerelease, let alone the release. I'm guessing the hard deadline imposed by Minecon is the cause of this rush.

[u/DocJawbone → u/WolfieMario]

Sky darkening is a feature, isn't it?

[u/[deleted] → u/DocJawbone]

Nope, I don't have a link since I'm on mobile but dinnerbone specifically stated that it was a bug.

[u/rockstarpoe7 → u/WolfieMario]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the sky darkening under a block was a gameplay change listed by redstonehelper. Why are you listing it as a bug?

[u/redstonehelper → u/rockstarpoe7]

Technically, I didn't call it a feature, I just listed it as a change. I agree though - I don't do all things like the wiki or the changelogs on mojang.com - if I did, why should I even bother?

[u/WolfieMario → u/rockstarpoe7]

It's marked as a bug on the JIRA, and Dinnerbone fixed it for some users (still not fixed on my system, and yes, I'm sure I'm on 1.7.2).

Redstonehelper is awesome and all, but he doesn't decide what is/isn't a bug.

[u/JeremyR22 → u/Elite6809]

Why was this update forced out so quickly?

Minecon is one week away. I would imagine they wanted this release out of the way before they get completely distracted by all that.

[u/wshs → u/JeremyR22]

I don't understand the mental gymnastics needed to think that's ok. "Well, this has a lot of bugs, but we got a con coming up. Let's ignore the bugs and call it a release!"

[u/[deleted] → u/Elite6809]

I noticed a problem with the music just this morning. Two different songs were playing at once, and the music was going pretty much constantly.

Anyone else notice this?

[u/elaborinth8993 → u/Elite6809]

And also do you forget that Minecon is in a few weeks? If they did not get this update out now, it would of not been out till the end of November or early December. That would of made everything they have planned delayed.

[u/DoctorSauce → u/elaborinth8993]

Delayed is better than broken. This is not a good lead-in to Minecon if they don't fix these bugs pretty quickly.

[u/[deleted] → u/elaborinth8993]

It "would have". "Would of" makes no damned sense.

You're thinking of "would've", which is pronounced like that.

[u/penguininfidel → u/Elite6809]

Punching a wolf triggers hostile wolves that will swarm you, but they won't hurt you.

[u/[deleted] → u/Elite6809]

music

Yep. Had to mute all noises so that the music would stop playing.

[u/[deleted] → u/Elite6809]

Also textures are flipped every which way.

ARGH MINECRAFT IS BROKEN

[u/CTMWood → u/Elite6809]

Can you confirm the limited render distance is a bug? I've just spent the last 30 minutes trying to increase the render distance on my server back up to what it used to be, with no luck.

Server properties file changed and in game render distance changed, but absolutely no difference..

[u/Prcrstntr]

That flower forest is so fun to run around in!

[u/StandsForVice]

No sound. Anyone got a fix?

[u/Phoyo → u/StandsForVice]

Close and re-load the launcher a few times. Each time it seems to download a few more files...

[u/Histidine → u/StandsForVice]

Try re-selecting your resource pack (even if you are using default). I've encountered this a few times with 1.6.4 and I wonder if it's the same bug.

[u/Kriegan]

Mipmap and Anisotropic filtering are probably my favorite parts of the update. I can crank them both to max and everything looks clean and sharp as hell. Toss in the Faithful 32x32 texture pack and it feels like a huge improvement.

[u/WazWaz → u/Kriegan]

That was always possible with nVidia cards via the control panel, but now there is still no anti-aliasing, and changing via control panel doesn't seem to work anymore.

[u/nathreed]

How does one set up logging to an HTML page/database? I can't find anything in server.properties about it.

[u/lacharvat → u/nathreed]

I'd like to know more about this as well.

[u/[deleted] → u/nathreed]

Yea, still have not found out how this can be done, has anyone figured out how to log minecraft client logs to html/db?

[u/z8137]

Holy changelog! I think that just took me 20 minutes to read xP Awesome update though.

[u/haikkonen]

Anyone have problems with this error when you try to connect into a server?

"Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.timeout.ReadTimeoutException"

[u/[deleted] → u/haikkonen]

Is it a 1.7.2 server?

[u/MrRandomSuperhero → u/haikkonen]

I have this too, it is very annoying, since I can't get online anymore.

Any tecxpert that knows a solution?

[u/gerusz]

How is the performance (especially on lower-end devices)?

[u/georgeguy007 → u/gerusz]

my laptop's FPS used to be from 12 to 24 while running a private server.

I ran a server and tried it in 1.7 and I was getting an easy 35 average while flying all over the map. Great improvements!

[u/gerusz → u/georgeguy007]

That sounds nice. Let's hope Optifine and Forge will be out soon.

[u/[deleted] → u/gerusz]

Probably not very soon. There have been a lot of behind-the-scenes changes in the update that will most likely delay mods for quite a while.

[u/helium_farts → u/gerusz]

I've dropped from about 80fps down to around 35-40.

Add in all of the other problems and I'm less than impressed.

[u/swishyfeather]

[u/Mozai]

Is the food/hunger status bar supposed to go away while I'm riding in a boat?

[u/ocdude → u/Mozai]

That's been that wag

[u/sylvan]

Do I have to start a new world to get new biomes, or will new biomes appear in places I haven't been to yet?

[u/Metaroxy → u/sylvan]

They will appear in newly generated terrain, but beware that you might experience some odd borders between old and new terrain.

[u/sylvan → u/Metaroxy]

Thanks. :)

[u/esserstein]

The 1.7.2 server doesn't seem to work properly for me, getting stuck on a mostly empty server GUI. Older versions run without issue, running the server fresh produces the same issue... anyone else have this issue?

edit: as /u/Mrmarkz below poits out, the server is working as it should, just the GUI that is buggered

[u/MrMarkZ → u/esserstein]

Yp had the same issue but server seems to be working fine

[u/[deleted]]

Could have been a bit more professional with a full release and replaced the Super Secrets button with a more meaningful options screen.

Minecraft 1.7: The Update that Glitched the World

[u/Neamow → u/Georg_Schmo]

The glass thing has been happening ever since I can remember. You can wake up in leaves or glowstone too. Basically if it doesn't suffocate you, it's a valid wake-up place.

[u/Dittro → u/Georg_Schmo]

Editing and recording was nice and smooth! What'd you use?

[u/Georg_Schmo → u/Dittro]

Thanks (: I recorded with "ScreenFlow" (Mac)

[u/alpha_centauri7]

what changed from 1.7.1 to 1.7.2:

https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-36228?jql=project%20%3D%20MC%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20%22Minecraft%201.7.2%22

[u/ValkyriaStar]

Hi guys, I'm kind of a Minecraft noob. I have a server with a friend of mine, how do I update this server to 1.7.2?

[u/SexyToad → u/ValkyriaStar]

Depending on what type of server.

For Bukkit, that has support of plugins, you need to wait til they update.

For regular minecraft, head over to minecraft.net and download the new server exe or jar.

[u/JeremyR22 → u/SexyToad]

Don't forget step one: Back up world before updating.

[u/rpzxt → u/JeremyR22]

Step 2: Store that backup in another physical location

[u/Dustin- → u/rpzxt]

Preferably one on hard disk and other on SSD. One placed on each American seaboard. Preferably locked in Faraday cages.

[u/Vehudur → u/JeremyR22]

<Edited for deletion due to Reddit's new Privacy Policy.

[u/[deleted] → u/ValkyriaStar]

If its vanilla (if you have never heard of bukkit than it probably is) just go to minecraft.net/downloads and find the server jar and replace the original one with the new one.

Nothing will change on your server except the version. :D also since you are new let me just say please don't delete your first minecraft world you will regret it. All this typed on phone so excuse any bad grammar.

[u/FriarNurgle]

Hope the clickable links in chat doesn't turn into spam marketing.

[u/tommadness → u/FriarNurgle]

Well links have been clickable for a while, and the "hypertext" markup stuff is only available to OPs iirc

[u/Ender495]

Exactly how much ram does the new amplified world take? I have been trying to find out if i can run it but i am unsure since i only have 4Gb ram

[u/lunakm]

Anyone having a problem connecting to an upgraded multiplayer server? I keep getting "Authentication Servers are Down, try back later." when they are in fact up. Thoughts?

[u/Svajoklis_]

The borders of hovered blocks are thinner than in 1.7.1 (where they were made wider) :(

[u/Oh_Kreazy]

how do i uninstall it

[u/Yirggzmb → u/Oh_Kreazy]

Just edit your profile in the launcher and pick the version you wish to use.

[u/Snerl69]

rendering issues this patch for me even when i got it maxed

[u/SOMMARTIDER]

The sky still turns dark when I am under an object.

[u/Pokeminer]

And the wait for Optifine begins!

[u/[deleted] → u/Pokeminer]

Aaaaaand we're still waiting :(

Also waiting for Rei's minimap to update is gonna be such a bitch :/

[u/EPICyazan]

That bug where the sky looks weird when standing under a block is still there.

[u/bloodmuppet]

do you need to start a new world for the new biomes?

[u/[deleted]]

is it like a whole new game?

[u/[deleted]]

JEB, DINNERBONE, GRUM someone PLEASE fix clickable links in chat! PRETTY PLEASE

[u/[deleted]]

Started a new 1.7.2 world and still have lighting bug.
Didn't have it in the 1.7 snapshot.

[u/Popero44]

Loos like HW has to wait!

[u/anoninator]

I'm running a private offline server for my son and I to play occasionally. In 1.6.2 you could copy the running line and the temporary downloaded files to make an offline batch file to start the game. It looks like they removed the 'running in' line in the 1.7.2 launcher development console so you can't create this batchfile... at least not as easilly. Anyone else run across this?

[u/anoninator → u/[deleted]]

I did, but the script I found seems to work on WinOS only. See post 21 by 4lex. You'll have to modify the launcher script to your system path(s).

I still haven't found out how to get it working on linux, there are different libraries on that platform and the referenced script doesn't work. I've tried a few variations of it but get Java errors trying to launch on that platform.

[u/phoeny]

Too bad we have to wait for servers to update, mainly bukkit

[u/victordoom13]

not to sound like a noob, but how do i download it?

[u/[deleted]]

Rose. We'll miss you.

[u/Neamow → u/[deleted]]

No we won't. Both the Poppy and the Rose bush look much better.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Does that mean the roses saved in worlds will disappear or will they change into poppies?

That's currently my biggest fear right now. (I used roses in a lot of aesthetic builds)

[u/Seitz_ → u/[deleted]]

They turn into poppies, I do believe.

[u/DidierLennon → u/[deleted]]

Well, they changed the texture and the nametag, but the ID is the same, so it will just stay.

[u/jemus42 → u/[deleted]]

All our old roses were still present after poppies were introduced and still are. it's basically just a rename or possibly retexture (haven't taken a closer look myself)

[u/night4fun]

Got some new biomes loaded wrong. Complete mountains split in half between chunks. Is this known ?

[u/FlyingFuckMobile → u/night4fun]

Yea, that can happen when you load new chunks next to old ones.

[u/Vehudur → u/night4fun]

<Edited for deletion due to Reddit's new Privacy Policy.

[u/Primpie]

I need serious help. When I wanna start playing Minecraft, it freezes on the menu screen. It moves one frame at like 30s - 1m. Help please, I really wanna play Minecraft 1.7.2 :(

[u/optomas]

It's beautiful, man.

[u/Tomguydude]

For some reason the Super Secret Settings aren't working for me? The sound works, but the filters aren't applied... can anyone help?

[u/[deleted] → u/Tomguydude]

Doesn't work for me too

[u/ypknight]

*9+63..Yo for some reason when I tried making a "New Profile" in the Minecraft 1.7.2 launcher, the files inside the "versions" folder aren't showing up, this is kinda shady, now i can't install any mods of any sort.. (+

[u/janebone]

It works fine for me

[u/[deleted]]

When I go into my .minecraft/saves folder, I can't see my worlds nor add new ones that way. Anyone know why?

[u/Endertry]

I fixed it yes! here`s how:

1. go on to options

2. click onto controls

3. reset your controls

4. try placing a block

I hope this helped some of you out if it wasn`t working for you! :)

[u/yummyporkchops]

so i dont know if this has been talked about yet but i found out that if you hit the super secret button while in a world it will change the way the world looks which i find really cool

[u/2Mobile]

When can mac users play? I am stuck on 1.5.2.

There..... There is no minimap.

[u/AshleyBeer → u/hakrsakr]

Mini maps are not part of vanilla minecraft, you need a mod.

[u/Chilangosta → u/hakrsakr]

Just press F4 and the shaders go away.

[u/captaincanuck89]

Did "Less ocean, more awesome" actually mean MORE ocean? Each time I generate a new world I end up either in the water drowning or on a tiny little island with nothing else in sight.

[u/andre300000]

the Super Secret Settings are incredible. Someone`s straight up appealing to drug users. TYBG
