Minecraft 1.7 Upcoming Features
here is what Is known about 1.7 so far.
Adventurer Update
What this entails isnt known, Notch and Jeb have banterd over Twitter saying that they are keeping it tight lipped until it gets released. Im hoping for some big RPG elements, but i doubt they will go there. Quests im sure will be in it.
Shearers
Obviously shear wool off sheep, jeb mentioned that killing sheep will result in less wool than shearing them. They will also help with leaves and diffusing TNT. a 4th Use is there, but its "secret for now"
Piston mod
I am looking forward to this one in a big way. Not sure how Jeb is going to implement it, but there are some kick arse things that can be done with pistons. video here = " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Thats all I know for now, will keep updated

Re: Minecraft 1.7 Upcoming Features
Meh, for this update I am going to read nothing, and then wait a week after it's released before looking at it, I'm over notch's inability to release anything remotely stable within the first 48 hours of its release, it just kills the excitement of trying new things when they more often than not are broken out of the box.

Re: Minecraft 1.7 Upcoming Features
I do agree with you there, Jeb is back on the project, and i think he is a bit better at not writing up bugs when he programs than notch is.

check out the new bugs list for each version of 1.6 that was released. its insane how many new bugs were created

Re: Minecraft 1.7 Upcoming Features
Damn pistons are crazy.
I deceided to install the mod in SSP, and have been playing with them pretty much all day with No success until now. and thats only with going through that many mother fucking tutorials... ugh.
I dont know what they do, but i know that using a OR gate and a AND gate will get me two sticky sitting on top of each other moving. ie bottom one extends, top one extends. then top one contracts bottom one contracts....

Ha
Scrap all the features notch has said is coming for 1.7, except for pistons!
we are getting pistons early, then 1.8 will include the adventure mode updates.

Re: Minecraft 1.7 Upcoming Features
Notch must have returned from vacation and found that Jeb and the other devs were too productive while he was gone and decided he must put a stop to that.

Re: Minecraft 1.7 Upcoming Features
maybe the project has reached the stage where the developer is not very interested anymore (like LFS) ...

Re: Minecraft 1.7 Upcoming Features
Not really ysu, its just that the adventure mode stuff he's updating is going to take a while. and he's probably been getting "i want pistons" every day on twitter, so thought fuck it, pistons now.
what will be 1.8 looks amazing with the stuff i have seen.

Re: Minecraft 1.7 Upcoming Features
we'll see.
In the meantime I gave a try to a survivalist mod aptly named survivalism. But it's not very much tbh.
It adds tiredness, thrirst & hunger, permadeath, and a few items, like waterskin, soulstones (to save lives) - but while it was a bit tougher early on, it was all the same after 2 hours or so. Once you get out of the initial ditch there's not much to be afraid of.
It'd probably need much more significant monsters, you know "higher level" ones - especially deep in the mines. ( eg Umber Hulks )
But it'd still be interesting if this sort was on in MP... (this mod isn't capable of that, it's SP only)
