I'm liking the water seep addition, as it allows you to see where there might possibly be water underground.

After playing with the Millenaire mod (http://millenaire.org/) installed I have to say the NPCs in 1.9 are a disappointment. I'm getting into trading with my NPCs and the official ones seem a bit... :downs:

Gonna try installing the mod into 1.9 to see what happens.

Aw first time I've ever had trouble with a Minecraft update, prerelease or otherwise. When my prerelease of 1.9 goes to generate a new level, Java just straight out closes. No error or anything :(

I know exactly what you mean.

Millenaire kicks some rear end in that department.

I've liked almost every Minecraft bit of quirk before, but I find these NPC designs really bonkers and not good enough. It just doesn't work to evoke much other than "WTF is that I'd better kill it" :/

People were talking about texture packs earlier, specifically John Smith. It's, in my opinion, far, far better than any other texture pack out there, but like anything it has little problems. So I figure that's a good chance to post the edits I've been doing on it. Mostly I've just mix-matched textures from different versions he's released, but I finally got bothered enough with what he was doing to smoothstone and ores to actually do some real edits. Credit still remains with John Smith of course.

Ok, sorry for the image dump! Last relevant thing, terrain.png:




The .zip is here, includes some other stuff like extra mob skins and custom rain and a smoother font (which you can see in the corner of those pics)

And the puny structures are from here.

Hope whoever downloads it enjoys. :3:

So the 1.9 pre-release contains snow golems, really bad looking NPCs, Blazes (fire sprites) and their drops Blaze Rods, Magma Cubes, Moosrhooms, netherbrick and netherbrick fences, nether ruins, gold nuggets, ghast tears, nether warts, drip effects for when water/lava is directly above the square overhead, snow biomes are back and swamp biomes have been upgraded with lily pads and darker water?

Nothing to do with the experience system? That is a little lame as I've been running around with so much experience in 1.8 that the bar has disappeared.

Edit: Actually all vegetation in this area is gray, including the trees. The ocean is gray and everything growing in that area is affected.

I don't think you should look forward to changing your name unless it has an illegal character (only letters, numbers, and underscores, as I said) in it. The following is a screenshot of what I get when I log in at https://www.minecraft.net:

The stuff looks pretty nice. I won't update until there is an "official" release though. I stayed away from the pre-release 1.8 and I'll do the same with this "leak."

If you want snow to play with, use the seed "Thrall is a pussy" and you'll spawn on a small peninsula covered with a small snowy biome.

EDIT: However, it appears that snowballs are not dropping from snow on top of grass. Weird.

At first I felt sorry for the spider- it was bombarded nonstop from all directions by snowballs. It could barely move as it was constantly pelted.

But as time went on I realized it was the snowmen who were in a desperate battle for their lives. One they were doomed to lose. The spider would get an opportunistic hit in every so often, and one by one the snowmen slowly fell.

It was a sad battle... the many snowmen in a hopeless battle vs. the one spider.

Then a creeper showed up.

So many snowballs... so many.


As a side note, I will like how renewable the snowman resources are as soon as we actually get some way to acquire pumpkin seeds. As it stands, they're stupidly finite, as pumpkins are fairly rare, and you don't get your pumpkin back when the snowman dies. If we do get pumpkins seeds, however, we'll have a good reason to farm pumpkins. Each one will basically be a free summon-able shield to distract monsters. It would totally be possible to just throw one down in a cave as a distraction too.

What? No, what was added in 1.9 is good, I like the new mobs and they are pretty interesting. I just wish there was some hint of the level system in this. Not like I was throwing a fit, just would be nice to have a use for exp orbs since I end up with so many of them that when I die it lags the hell out of my game even with the fixes that 1.8.1 introduced and I really want to know what kind of skills they have in mind, that's all. :)

I'm guessing that the gold nugget will be for some kind of interaction with the user, and that the blaze rods and ghast tears may have to do with whatever Notch was talking about a few weeks ago with "upgrading" weapons in place of just adding another material tier.

Minecraft Wiki says that gold nuggets are craftable into ingots, which I guess is just to make it renewable. And here I thought gold nuggets were going to be an icon for gold ore so that you didn't just carry around blocks of stone with untouched ore in them.

They exist, but there's no way to get them in game as far as I know. You'd think they'd be dungeon drops like melons seeds, but it seems they aren't.


Complete list of new features according to the wiki (lazily copy-pasted so crap formatting):

# New mobs

* Villager
* Magma Cube
* Snow Golem
* Mooshroom [Note: I'm pretty sure this is bullshit and they're not in yet]
* Blaze

# New blocks

* Netherrack Bricks
* Netherrack Fence
* Lily Pad

# New items

* Blaze Rod
* Ghast Tear
* Nether Wart
* Gold Nugget

# New generated structures

* Nether Ruins


Besides all that there's swamp biome shading... which is pretty hosed up at the moment, and a liquid dripping graphical effect.
