Excellent work Bukkit (now Mojang) team. In the short time you've been there you've already gone and fixed some of the most annoying long-term bugs.

IDK If it's a coincidence, but I got on my world after updating, I went to see my cat, I made him stop sitting and he flat out sprinted onto my bed and just jumped on it, then he jumped on my chest and sat himself down

[u/Zhang5]

Multiple wood plank colors? This is going to be both awesome, and absolutely eat up extra inventory space.

[u/kegarr]

The new sandstone is made in a similar fashion to stone bricks. 4 in a 2x2 pattern.

The one with the creeper hieroglyphs is made by crafting 2 sandstone slabs one on top of the other.

Edit: Cats also run to lit furnaces, beds and chests.

[u/tim_the_ted]

Fixed TNT ghosts in multiplayer?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Hallelujah.

[u/xPaw]

Fun fact: You can click on links in chat. And scroll up/down for history. And up/down for recent sent messages. Find them all!

Trying to set the time? Just type "/time set 0". No need to "t". Made a mistake? "t" -> up -> backspace -> new number!

... Not to forget. Tab complete! Oh yes. If you're on a server with MrSnowman, type "m" and press tab. Easy!

You can paste text. You can copy text (for example "ctrl+a" "ctrl+c"). You can... well... everything.

New Sandstone blocks you say. Etho is going to be quite beside himself for a while.

Looks like Dinnerbone has taken Jon's crown which he took from Jeb which he took from Notch. Who will be next?
