Minecraft Beta 1.3 Released

[FireGrey]

Chanel Log

* 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 ” where cmd is “on”, “off”, “add ”, “remove ”, “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

Known Bugs

QUOTE

1. When F3 is on with the graph, open an inventory. The red graph turns gray.
2. Zombies cannot hurt you.
3. Wooden slabs or double wooden slabs don't burn
4. Wooden slabs get destroyed faster with pickaxe instead of an axe.
5. Some users cannot see beds. This is your texture pack's fault, not a bug.
6. Doubleslabs don't have names.
7. Game may crash upon entering the Nether. When you reload you will be at spawn with no items.
8. Lighting issues with ice (especially from below (underwater?)).
9. Some people still experiencing crashing issues.
10. Random cursor error (double-arrow instead of a normal cursor) in menus
11. Worlds may get corrupted during save format conversion. It is unknown if 1.2 mods have anything to do with this.
12. Levers can be placed on the bottom of a block, as long as there is an open space, and a block horizontal to the open space. The lever will act as if placed on the horizontal block, but looks glitched, as shown here.
13. If someone uses their bed in SMP, other players may get disconnected. (Un-Recognisable Packet ID: 17)
14. Large chests may cause crashes when opening them (Unconfirmed: crashes may be caused by use of mods from 1.2 that have not updated).
15. F1 in 3rd person mode no longer flips view.
16. When F3 is pressed ingame and you return to menu, it will stay there. You also cannot toggle it in menu like you were able in 1.2_02 etc.
17. Lighting and transparency issues with portals.

The bed is awesome
This is the best update since the halloween update
A little tip for pirates
Insteed of downloading an updater
Go on your pirated loader and check force update and you will get 1.3

Oh and use the default texture pack otherwise you can't see the bed.

Note:

Minecraft will crash when you select single player/create new world on Mac OS 10.5.8

There is no current way to fix this.

 

[FireGrey]

Oh and if you update you can't use your mods until they get updated to work with 1.3, which could take a while depending on what mod it is.

 

[Evo.lve]

Mo's creatures works methinks.

 

[DarkWay]

Half of my map is now pointless and ruined thanks to getting rid of the forever burning logs. Sure they're logs they're not "supposed" to burn forever but still, I made a Massive Mansion with Burning Logs dotted around the roof.

Typical.

Pff was about to start minecraft and loose all my mods in it. Thanks for the news

This, it's an incredibly easy to obtain material too, all you need is access to the Nether.

REALLY? WHOA! He was just stating a fact about Minecraft in case DarkWay forgot!

Beds? Thank you Notch.

Whatever, frankly I prefer using netherack to seeing perpetual forest fires.

 

[monkat]

So I just bought the game.

I don't like it at all. I punch trees for ten minutes and have nothing to show for it. WHAT I DO WRONG?!

That.

Is sooooo much better.

 

[ZeroTm]

People who pirate this game should be punched in the face. It's like 15 bucks. Are you that cheap?! Aaanyways, great update haven't played minecraft in a while, since I'm getting about 30-40 fps on my laptop, so I have to wait until I buy a new comp. Will take ages but wuteva.

It's expensive. I would pay less than I've paid for Super Meat Boy for it (I've paid 5 bucks).

I pirated it.

Then I bought it because I liked it I get everything free if I buy it before beta.


Oh, like I posted in another thread about this;
1.3_01 is out

no idea what's fixed
