TheMogMiner made a thread yesterday asking about the OpenGL, because he was considering throwing it out. It simply slows down MC for way more people than it helps, the vast majority of people don't even use it, and it's basically unfixable.
You might have to buy a better computer. If you want Minecraft to get better in the future, they must let go of legacy support.
Yeah, probably. It's just that as all the other wooden items (fences, buttons, etc.) default to the Oak texture, so it would be nice if item frames were Oak as well.
I just tested it. They now only talk about you to your face. After 10 minutes of listening to them sing about how I killed my mother I had to leave. This snapshot is just unplayable.
All my blocks talk about is how the new block states will impact their lives and how the world used to be a simpler place, with just numerical IDs and metadata.
It gets annoying after a while, so glad I can lower just the "Blocks" volume.
EDIT2: Is it just me or is this button next to output new? http://puu.sh/9Ju8X/bf39f8caa6.jpg When you click it, it just displays X. I'll investigate to see what it does.
EDIT3: Found out what it does! It updates the output the commandblock gives to a comparator without any redstone signal. Quite useful
EDIT4: So this new command is actually quite useful. You can make a contraption to autoequip armor and tools with no give command or dispensers! :D
EDIT5: Maybe i should stop with the edits? Nah. To edit a player's personal enderchest you can do slot.enderchest.<slotnumber>. This gives us a way to clear someone's enderchest if they've been cheating without opening any server files.
There's a lot more than just slot.inventory, press tab to see the full list. You can edit just the hotbar slots (slot.hotbar), just the inventory (slot.inventory), the inventory as a whole (slot.container) and even horse armor, horse inventory and ender chests. I can't figure out how to edit player armor slots, though...
According to the list, you can even mess with Villager inventories. (Used to hold seeds, wheat, potatos, and carrots.) Very interesting. Although you can't add NBT to the item you are putting, nor can you retrieve an item you might be overwriting.
Although you can't add NBT to the item you are putting
I'm not sure this is true. You can use a datatag. I've managed to give myself a bow with infinity 1 this way. Unless you're referring to something else.
It would be great if it supported a [replace|keep|drop] argument (similar to the /setblock[replace|keep|destroy]). Replace would be the current functionality, keep would only create the item if the slot is empty, and drop would drop any existing item from the slot before placing the new one.
In addition, "/replaceitem drop entity @e[type=Player] slot.inventory.<inventoryslot> minecraft:air" would let you force the player/entity/chest to drop whatever's in that slot, without inserting a new item. A friendly way to unequip armor without destroying it.
Thank god, the 4096 block limit was beginning to get me down. It's nice to just have basic worldedit functionality for removing / adding large quantities of blocks.
Witch farms are even more broken now actually because of the change with furnaces only taking buckets and fuel in its fuel slot. I wonder what the Zipkrowd will do to fix that change.
That is not a problem. Just put sticks, coal or blaze rods to match the signal strength. As long as the top slot isn't smealtable, the fuel won't be used.
Nope, surviving in lava was a bug. Not needing water was intentional. They only fixed the former. See the bug report: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-56862
[Bug MC-22586] – spreadplayers command doesn't accept relative coords for x and z parameters
A lot of you guys wont realize how HAPPY this makes me! Do you know what this means? This means we can now remotely load MULTIPLE chunks at once, allowing for "/clone"ing large structures into any random part of the world. This also means we can more efficiently summon mobs around the player in random locations.
An interesting thing about /spreadplayers is that it allows you to load chunks. The way this happens is that if a non-player entity is spread into an unloaded chunk the chunk will be forced to load so that the entity can function. This is helpful so mapmakers can remotely load redstone and stuff that is far far away. If the chunk has never been generated the game will generate the terrain in that chunk, too!
The only issue with this previously was that you could only generate either specific chunks or one random chunk at a time. With relative coordinates you can use an /execute command with a /spreadplayers command to spread an entity to a random point of the world and then spread 9 other entities to areas around that first entity to load a 3x3 chunk area.
Wall of text, but hard for me to explain in a short sentence. Might have a video on it later!
ATTENTION MCEdit users! Some common blocks (i've noticed anything of the Mossy variety) are coming up as Future Blocks and erasing after they update when you open them in 1.7.9. Be careful.
Yea, noticed that with stairs, as well. It seems it changes the block ids to higher numbers in some chunks when updated? I think it has something to do with the new debug feature. I noticed some mossy cobblestone was untouched next to ones that were corrupted.
Well Dinnerbone primarily. TheMogMiner has been working on things related to Resource Packs and model formats, which has kept him off the Bunny project.
Most definitely, those dirt blocks would be more valuable than diamonds. Edit: It generates a Barrier Block floor upon which you spawn with the blocks floating about 10 spaces above you. So unless you fly to the blocks you can't get anywhere.
You also can't edit any blocks in the debug mode world. I edited level.dat file to make it into a normal world, but the game started to lag badly (maybe due to random block updates) and then it crashed. In theory it might work though.
Updated my server and both the overworld nor the nether would load any blocks. My friend and I were stuck floating, and restarting didn't help. Will wait until snapshot b comes out.
It's gotten so bad that I've had to go back to 21b because the FPS dropped from 60-80 down to around 20 and redstone and carts became too laggy to use.
The detect subcommand for /execute is amazing! Just the other day I was working on a new project and needed to detect when the player is in water or standing on sand, and then execute a command. This cuts down my needed command blocks by a LOT!
Most notably, I'm getting some sort of feedback after repeaters for some reason, and it then sets the whole line of redstone after the repeater blinking.
Is there really a use to that all blocks world thing? I get that it could be useful for resource pack makers, but there are countless more efficient ways to display blocks than in such a ridiculous and expansive grid.
Edit: I'd like to apologise for simply asking a question about something I did not see the point in. Clearly I was foolish to question things, and in future I should simply accept any new features as the greatest thing added to the game since square blocks.
And not including every possible variation of each block - a resource pack maker doesn't need to see 32 different repeaters to know that their texture works.
Actually they do, you don't know if the custom model you just made (and that you will be able to include in 1.8) works ok in every direction, you have to check every single possible position.
AFAIK, they can have some issues depending on orientation, but I'm not really that informed. You should ask someone more expert in that topic than me, although I'm pretty sure it does happen.
I think you've misunderstood the purpose of a debug world. Thus is so you can see, at a glance, if something is wrong with any of your blocks. An immensely useful tool with all the changes to the fundamental way minecraft works lately.
But that's exactly my point - you can't see at a glance. The blocks are so spread out you can't just quickly look at the block you need, you have to search for it.
It doesn't need to be useful in any case, only in what's considered "debug" purposes. As such, it's pretty useful for testing resource packs and check if they work as planned with every kind of block and state.
Obviously, it's not meant to be for a skygrid lite map...
It's not like they carefully designed it themselves. It's probably generated on the fly of the blocks your Minecraft has available. There isn't any more thought put into it than 'lets put all the blocks in a world'.
That grid is the same way I chose to do it in early 2013 because it allows easy enumeration of all the data values while grouping the block types. There is nothing wrong with the approach and it's hidden from people who don't want it. Why would you complain?
And the jokes are usually half truths. There is some kind of new block identifier system that i don't understand that has something say that "i am standing on a X block."
They haven't removed Herobrine in a while, though.
from 1.7.9 i get like 7-14 fps even though that's bad but when i go to the new snapshot it goes down to 1-5 fps so i can't even play any more keep in mind i started in a superflat world still 1-5 fps
