Minecraft. WHYYYY must you hook me?

Minecraft Beta 1.3 came out. At first, I was like "SHIT. No more server play for a while." Then, I was greeted by a total and completely un-expected overhaul.

1) Everything is twice as fast. Notch has finally standardized Optimine (a chunk-loading mod). THANK GOD.
2) BetterLight standardized as well? I'll gladly take that. :)
3) Beds. Possibly the BESTEST thing to ever have graced Minecraft's blocky world. Now I can skip those dreaded nights. Yay for more building!
4) Redstone repeaters. I honestly don't know how to use those, but I know some people that are drooling over them.

I've never been addicted to anything like this. Wahoo!

Yeah, the new update was surprisingly great. Honestly, I like it more than the beta update with lapis and whatnot. Beds are DEFINITELY my favorite addition, since you can usually make one by the end of the first day, and not have to wait 7 minutes with nothing to do at night. Also, having infinite worlds is great too. No more deleting nice worlds just to make new ones. :D
 
Today's update was quite nice.
Though beds are a little useless in SMP, but there's not much Notch can do about that.

Glad to see Notch finally releasing things without crap getting broken as well. Granted, he has a team behind him now so that's probably why.
 
a very nice update over all. The new launcher is nice as well. Redstone repeaters are great. extremely useful for SMP as well as normal play. i would like bettergrass as well eventually, or at least as an option. in fact, just more graphical options in general would be nice. The things people are doing with shaders and AA and such are mind blowing.
 
I take it none of you are using OS 10.5.8.

Selecting Single Player freezes and crashes the game, deleting all your saves solves this.

But wait! Clicking "Create New World" freezes and crashes the game.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
 
I was so happy about this update....I built a small pixel art of Quote .....(I suppose it is both pixel art and pixel's art lol)...

It was quite annoying with mobs on.....but i finished it legit yay! .....oh and the lighting is so pretty :bow:
 
the update is great.
i started a new game and made an awesome beach house and it is also great that sandstone is making a bigger appearance
with natural sandstone and sandstone slabs

Amen to that! My friend's server got massive over time, and it took forever for us to do anything due to files getting fragmented so easily. This should fix that.

NO. You can go die in a fire. Notch and the rest of Mojang worked hard on this game, and this is a game that actually deserves money. Don't pirate indie games. :angry:

I couldn't buy it because they don't accept iDeal
So I asked my friend if he could gift it to me.
But I don't think I've given him the money yet... :unsure:

    Speaking of meatballs, what's the deal with meatball sandwich? How can people eat those? It's ROUND. Trying to bite those in a sandwich is a challenge. It's easier to eat a burger stacked with toppings. :ninja:
