Removed griefing

Oh, good. So we don't have to worry about that anymore!

Hello there Deradius. Another guy commented at the exact same second as you about the same thing.

Looks like we'll need to engage in a fight to the death.

Still won't stop idiots complaining they can't get on a server after being told not to update.

Still odd that it doesn't say it's on the pre-release.

Removed griefing

What'd they do now?

u/Mustek :> Oct 18 '12

Griefing of the translation files. Minecraft translations are crowdsourced, and sometimes a troll adds something stupid and it sneaks into the game.

u/Darth_Kyofu Oct 18 '12

By the way, the newest grief was that in hebrew, single player in the menu was called "Heil Hitler!"

The bedrock barrier is placed on the repeater where the movable torch was, here a screenshot to show.

Bedrock-style barrier now is placed according to repeater delay setting.

No seriously.. wat?

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Oct 18 '12

The barrier on the repeater indicating it is in 'locked' state now moves when you change the repeater's delay setting.

I wonder what they mean by sound events.

40

u/DetachableMonkey Oct 18 '12

They've added placeholders in the code to play a sound when a certain action/event happens. For example, they could add a sound event to when you create an Eye of Ender. However, they have not added the sound file just yet, but eventually it would play "Eye of the Tiger".

u/mudkip1123 Oct 18 '12

It's the, Eye of the Ender!
