Minecraft 1.3

[Shonky]

Hey folks, there's a new update again, going to update the server, hopefully it all goes to plan, here's a list of changes. Hopefully it's not the usualy buggy crap that comes out of Mojang with a large update.

Minecraft Beta 1.3
* Implemented a new lighting engine with the help of MrMessiahs (can be turned off)
* Changed the options around, added a new “Graphics options” button
* Added beds. If all players in a map sleeps in a bed during night, the game immediately skips until morning
* Added three new half-size blocks
* Added Delay/Repeater redstone dust blocks
* Added whitelisting to the server. To use, enter “whitelist <cmd>” where cmd is “on”, “off”, “add <player>”, “remove <player>”, “list” or “reload”
* New save file format, old maps need to be converted (that might take a while..)
* It’s now possible to have more than five save slots, and to rename saves
* Scrollbars in both the texture pack list, and in the map selection screen
* Replaced the Mojang splash image to reflect the new logo colors
* .. and a bunch of bug fixes and tweaks!

Just a heads up, I've updated the server software but I am unable to confirm if it is running ok as mcmyadmin needs an update as well, let me know if it's not running ok and I'll see if there is anything I can do.

Gave it a run on the server this morning. Working great

[Takumi]

How is the new lighting? I'll have to wait until tonight to try it out..

[Crowella]

I like it. Most definitely noticable. It makes pits more apparent.

[Santaria]

Are the beds working in MP? Or was the spawn point thing a later date?

McMyAdmin has been updated and the server is up and running again. Although at some point today I'll be installing Windows 7 SP1 on the server, so it will be offline for a little while.

Server is currently updating to SP1, but I've also taken the downtime to update Java and the network drivers. Will post when it's back online.

Server has been updated and is now back online.

Guys any of you have crashing problems with B 1.3_01?
My client keeps crashing every once in a while.

[Shonky]

Sorry mate, it has been rock solid for me, I am using 64bit java if that makes any difference, you can get that by uninstalling your current java install, and then going to Sun using the 64bit version of Internet Explorer to get the download. It's the only way I know of to get it, you can't manually download the 64bit version as far as i know.

All my Minecraft issues were fixed by installing 64bit java. At one stage I was getting black screen every 1 minute.

thanks guys.
There seems to be a manual d/l linky here

I'll check it out later.

I found that page too mate, trouble is it links to the download page that is supposed to have the 64bit manual download on it, but it doesn't exist for Windows as far as I could see.
