Creative mode is really really awesome. I hope someone makes a mod that allows a world to be switched back and forth between creative and survival.

As much as I like 1.8, (I think it's the best update in a very long time) the crashing is just a bit much. Between random "saving chunk" crashes and furnace crashes I'm going end up waiting until the official release to play. Odd that it doesn't crash at all when I'm in creative.

Switching to the newer launcher fixed it for me.

Yeah, that solved my problem as well.

Edit: A charged creeper just blew up my warehouse.

Notch has removed the snow biomes permanently because they don't fit his "vision" for the game.

If that's the case then what's this?

The grass that grew where I filled in the edges of the ocean is now gray.



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

Quick (and quite possibly stupid) question. I'm building a chicken coop, and before my hard won starter chickens run away - can chickens climb ladders?

Bloody hell, any idea why I can't seem to get this 1.9 update? I've attempted forced updates, it remains at 1.8.

You have to download and manually replace your minecraft.jar file.

My PC's cooling fans are adequate so I'm not overheating or anything, but my processor is running as hot as it would be if I were playing Crysis or ARMA 2.
Anyone else running a little hot with 1.9 Prerelease?

Those gray areas are also all over the oceans. If you fill in an area of ocean and plant stuff, your trees and crops will also be colored gray.

You haven't seen when two bodies of water meet, have you? Here's some examples:

I really don't mind the effect on the water. It's the fact that it colors the land as well that I don't like. Overall, I love the update and the water/land coloration is the only thing that I don't care for.

Any word on the next pre-release of 1.9 or anything?

edit: woah, did the armor changes go through? how do they work?
I just made a full set of iron and it has 7.5/10 durability.

Yeah, I'm getting this too. The durability bar seems to be stuck there regardless of the wear on the armor.

So.... Uh... Is there any reason Minecraft is trying to melt my video card? I just had Speccy tell me that it pushed it up to 70C.

It's happening to a lot of us. There's no consensus about why.

This tunnel was pitch dark when I found them. It's maybe 30 blocks underground, and there's nowhere anywhere remotely nearby that leads to the surface. How did these pigs get here? Mystery pigs

Take the pork and shut your mouth. We don't talk about mystery pigs.

I've been finding a lot more animals underground than above ground with 1.8/1.9. Some of it is reasonable, like pigs falling down holes, but other times it's a chicken two miles into an abandoned mine.

Anyone finding diamond much more rare in the last updates? I used to be able to find 20 diamonds in a mine by using the traditional "Dig to Y:12, make tunnel" method, but I've only found seven in the newest world I've made.

Last night I broke through the roof of a lava chamber which was almost at bedrock level. There were two chickens standing on gravel that promptly died squawking in the lava lake. Maybe Notch believes in spontaneous generation.

I know that I'm getting burned out when something that is objectively awesome, underground ravines, have become a tiresome pain in the rear end.

Snapshot 12w27a blanks all of my signs. The data is still there, so if I roll it back to 12w26a there's no problem. Weird.
