Very nice docu on Notch, Minecraft and Mojage. They seem like the nicest people possible.

Beta 1.3 is out...main new feature does seem to be the bed, along with a new lighting system.

[Rocky]

That's quite a good little documentary. I really want to know what you'd use a nether chest for though.

Just opened up minecraft and it has a whole new layout for the start screen.. Multiple worlds!!

Loaded up a trial world and my spawn point was facing this...

I don't know whether I should stay or run

Fuck aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall that. Main new feature is being able to save more than five games and rename saves! Whoooooooooooooo!

The old bug for creating wood that burns forever no longer works, just so you know; the first thing I noticed upon loading Stately Sousa Manor (previously World 1! Previously!) is that my fireplaces were no longer working. Just slam down some Netherack. Pow. Solved.

New painting, too.

Beds look nice, but I have a feeling I won't use them. Best thing I can say is that they prevent your home from being surrounded by creepers when you wake up, so it's probably great for the early game. By later on you should have enough things to do that your nights are never unproductive, though.

Haha, that is a bit creepy.

Just started my first World with the new update, and a million thanks to the crew for putting in the better lighting and dynamic shadows. The game looks so much better, and even the default minecraft texture pack is now competing with my personal preference, which is very surprising. Love it so far!

Can't help but wonder if them adding beds means they'll eventually add an endurance meter. Something that forces you to sleep at some point.

The texture pack I was using caused minecraft to crash with the new update I'm back to using the original for now. Or I could hunt for another.

Has any one played the Four Towers Adventure? I'm lost after getting to the processing plant

NEW GAME!

1. Start a new world.

2. Use your original board name (no spaces) as the world generator's seed.

3. Take a screenshot and post the results.

"jpsousaisyourdaddy" (no quotes) dropped me here!

Squid!

I spawned on that monstrosity on the left. So yeah, "jpsousaisyourdaddy" puts you in an archipelago right by an awesome desert island.

EDIT: "U GON DIE" gave me a world terrifying similar to the last one in my diary. Surreal.

Scaevolus' McRegion? The hell?

New save format. Convert all your save files. Doesn't take too long unless they're enormous like Shifting Sands Land is.

[Katsuya]

It's like it's purposefully fucking me off after my previous failings at trying to find cacti

[Lint]

Do the updates happen automatically at startup o do they need to be manually downloaded

[Sousa]

For those of you interested in seeing what others have already found, the forum already has a great thread for seeds. "2 girls 1 cup" (no quotes) is legitimately amazing.

[Katsuya]

404 is awesome for the gravel by your spawn point

[King Ellis]

Yeah, we want a 404 diary from Sousa.

[Rocky]

I tried the 404 and searched for the gravel... Definitely diary material...

"Hrm, let's see what's under this gravel that's so amazing..."

[King Ellis]

KingEllis:

Upon spawning I could see about 5 cows and 2 pigs in the distance frolicking on an uninteresting patch of land. Behind me however...

so i started another world and put in creeper. found alot of clay but didn't see a creeper till i set up base. came out, ran straight, turned back and 6 of the fuckers were having a dace party on my roof.
