Anyone here have Minecraft?

That was a large desert at 2:39-2:40. It is kind of bizzare seeing snow covered areas so close to a hot desert.

Oooh, pretty sunset. :3

Could I get the server IP, please? c:

Debugging-purposes. It's going to be larger than that.

Now I only have two questions: What happens, exactly, when you attack a pigman and what kind of limits does Hell have? If you dig straight down (or up), do you hit bedrock?

This post provides a nice - albeit wrong - answer.

ways to kill a ghast?

I don't even want to attempt that. Those ghast were HUGE, my friend reffered to them as "The spirits of dead Zeppelins." But if you had to.. I'd guess a bow and arrow maybe? My friend said the Gold looking ore blocks that break like glass in Hell are used for making Magic Spells, I don't know where he got this information, but wouldn't that be awesome.

As I recall, arrows unload in a very short range. I want to say within one chunk, so a radius of 16 or so x/y blocks would be the maximum range of a Bow. This should not be too hard to fix, but it will make killing Ghast with arrows a pain in the ass.

in theory you could just aim above them and let the arc of the arrows take care of the rest.

Has anyone thought that the Ghasts might be invincable? What would they drop anyway...? Besides theres so much danger the chance of killing it over non lava/fire is almost nil. Not that i wouldnt try mind you.

You would have to be really close or beneath them for the arrows to hit. Close enough that dodging the creeper blast would be difficult. A creeper can take like 4 or 5 arrows, so I can see these behemoths taking 20. :|

Notch says he has not killed one, but I have heard nothing about them being impossible to kill.

Spiders and skeletons can aggro eachother if they hit eachother, make ghasts attack eachother = they kill eachother, no? o.o

They float, so have fun with that. I will give you a cookie if you pull it off.

Oh nuts, I can't get the portal to work in SMP in time. I'll add a flag to start in either normal or Nether mode so you can try it in smp

Yep, redstone appears to be working better in SMP now

Health and other fancy features for multiplayer are coming with the beta release. This is not the beta release.

Minecarts and boats still won't work well in SMP after this update. But the tracks will.

Biomes are now properly synched in multiplayer, and rails no longer cause data sending loops.

Guess what.. Furnaces should now face the opposite direction the player is facing when you plant them.
-- And so do stairs now. They will never auto-turn ever again!

You know that bridge mod thing.. I might have to borrow that idea!
