Minecraft Beta is out

[Sausage Head]

I wonder what the 'rare' thing is.

 

[Raiser]

There's still a major duping bug that needs to be fixed.
And the performance seems to have gotten worse..

But thanks Notch!

Me to.

Hope its something awesome!

woot, just bought my account yesterday just in time for beta today

Wow. Way to go. You've also successfully locked yourself into get all future updates for free.
Beta purchases will get all beta updates for free, but not the game when it's out.

All alpha purchases up to Beta release are good to go with MC indefinitely (notch mentioned all this on his blog).

People who buy the beta do get the full game when it's released. It says here.

Yeah, I heard that Beta buyers get everything but DLC while Alpha buyers get DLC for free.

People seem to forget that English isn't Notch's first language and decide to take every word literally.

Meh...uses more memory for me, also seems to have problems to display enough parts of the map (cuts of to the blue BG much more than the Alpha). Not to mention that I would have liked to see some (probably) small bugs fixed (especially those texture-bugs, like custom biomes being overwritten, add side biomes, not working textures like the clock, etc.), just a bit more love for the single player in general...

Then again, I get this update for free, etc., so it's not that I'm actually complaining.

 

[GameDragon]

Been a lot of unintentional item duping on my server. Plus memory issues and a whole lot of bugs.

Overall, I'm not too happy with this update so far. I'm sure it'll improve though.

Ya know it's a bad sign if when you turn around during the night, you suddenly see large chunks of the map are daylit during night-time.

In other news, I finally found a dungeon with a skeleton spawner! Now I can set up a mob-grinder and earn unlimited arrows!

Wait... WHAT?!

 

[RupeeClock]

Yeah, there's an update out, strangely enough no word of notch.

Any noticeable changes in your server?

EDIT: Holy shit, item duping got worse.
Before drop and pickup would only give me 1 or 2 extras but I just got like 10.

EDIT2: Quote from a forum user-

NeonJFrom what I've seen, 1.0.2 fixes the performance drop (tree decay is STILL there, though.) and lets the game run on Mac. =D

Confirmed on Reddit by Jeb, it's a patch for Macs.

Whoooaaaa shit, I was just making rounds on my map, when a noticed a huge chunk of untouched land had DISAPPEARED.


Freaky, I'm serious I didn't dig that out.

The "rare secret" was a deadmau5 skin.
Kind of lame, if you ask me.

Chunk errors.

Don't believe there's any fix except rebuilding it yourself or loading a backup with a good chunk.

@ SoulSnatcher:
Yeah, big disappointment.
Why in the hell would fans care about the 'special' skin of ONE person?

Honestly, Notch has his junk in too far with Deadmau5.

 

[Delta517]

Can't play because of the lag.

Also, people on the Minecraft forums are going INSANE!!!

 

[Joe88]

well that was lame

he probably made a ton of people think there was some special item buried deep underground or something

I mean, I would even be more satisfied if Herobrine was added in a a random NPC. But nah, it's just a skin for some dude.

what i am surprised about this game is tht there are too many users on this game... again, if u were to refresh the website after 5 secs, definitely one person must have registered
the guy must be super rich at the moment... this will keep the hackers quiet
i am still waiting for BIG changes like increase in dynamic-ness.
