Whoo, new update. :> Still waiting for it to download though.

In the meantime, my brother sent me this link:

Clicking on the most expensive "coming soon" item multiple times causes something weird/awesome to happen. : D

[DarkSurfer]

Add up to 10k in checkout too.

And then if you try and buy it a dinosaur yells at you.
Clicking "OK" on the popup is interesting.

[Neko]

Is the game not fun without textures + proletariats?

[Neko]

I'm completely retarded to the situation. Is there a place I can read up on stuff.

[Chloemew]

I don't really use texture packs. I'm fine with how everything already looks. :B

Changes/Features in 1.4

Waking up in a bed or leaving a bed sets you spawn point
Your spawn point will be reset to default if the bed gets destroyed
Sheep can now spawn with PANK or brown wool
Shift now also holds you still on ladders
Water currents are now stronger than before
Spiders and wolves can't trample crops
Default inventory key is now E

[Kierou]

E was ALWAYS my inventory key. :V

[electronic goat]

So what the hell is the point of the locked chests?

April fool's gag.

Also, I ended up being a little mislead by this update. Beds don't change the respawn point, the default inventory key is still I, and wolves only appear in newly generated areas.

I think my seed was "Naruhodo".
Anyway, I found natural 4-block high reeds. Is this new?

[electronic goat]

actually yes they do change the spawn point.

Not for me. I slept, went to the Nether, and respawned at my original spawn point, so I guess that has something to do with it. There should still be Nether support though.

[KevTehNev]

Not for me. I slept, went to the Nether, and respawned at my original spawn point, so I guess that has something to do with it. There should still be Nether support though.

Nope I made a bed, slept in it, got killed and went back to my main spawn.

This update was disappointing as hell. Wolves are too rare, the cookies aren't worth the risks when it heals as much as cooked pork when you eat a full batch. The bed shit is broken, and they still haven't fixed some of the bugs like for the better light shading on ice, which was NEVER an issue on the original mod.

[Cafall]

Brown sheep everywhere

Anyway, I found natural 4-block high reeds. Is this new?

Just a glitch, I think. I've found a few here and there in the past

[Komodoensis]

wolves only appear in newly generated areas.

Wrong. On my world from 1.3, I've found 3 wolves by my home.

[Xeraphem]

I have yet to find a single wolf, and I have been scouring the land for a couple of hours now. I am disappoint.
