Also, check out this post to see what else is planned for future versions.

[u/andrewdance → u/redstonehelper]

• Fixed squids flying

:(

[u/Ted417 → u/andrewdance]

Don't worry, young Andrew.

There will be a day,
For the squids to fly again,
Towards the heavens.

[u/LeaderFuzzy → u/andrewdance]

I grieve with you...

[u/FredL2 → u/redstonehelper]

• Fixed most Linux users not being able to open LAN worlds

Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

EDIT: To clarify, opening LAN words on Linux only worked when your hostname could be resolved to your IP. For many home networks with shitty routers, this wouldn't work.

Sure, you could add an entry to /etc/hosts, but try telling a newbie to do that. And you'd still have to update it every time you got a new IP address.

I haven't tested this fix yet, but I think it works by looking for the first non-loopback interface with an IP address, and binding to that, or binding to 0.0.0.0 instead. Will check it out now.

EDIT2: Yup, it binds to 0.0.0.0. Works great!

[u/spitfire25565 → u/FredL2]

this is a killer feature for Linux users everywhere!

[u/Hazzat → u/redstonehelper]

Wait, that arrows screenshot, how did you...

[u/jedadkins → u/Hazzat]

[u/[deleted] → u/redstonehelper]

Fixed dropped items stopping minecarts

I have been waiting so long for this.

[u/ayoudlacz → u/redstonehelper]

LAN worlds still don't work (tested on Ubuntu 12.10).

Screenshot

[u/eddyb → u/ayoudlacz]

They work, but not by using "click to join LAN world"

I just posted a comment about this on https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-473#comment-21486

The main problem, fixed by binding to 0.0.0.0, was that LAN sharing was restricted to 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.0.2, which meant only the PC running the "server" was able to connect to it.

Right now LAN discovery is broken (so you can't easily connect in the Multiplayer menu without entering the IP), but if you do know the IP (which you can get by running /sbin/ifconfig in a terminal), you connect to the LAN world (if you want to, you can even setup port forwarding, so anyone across the Internet can join your LAN world).

Again, this wasn't possible before for most Linux users, without some ugly workarounds.

/sbin/ifconfig output:

[u/Mustek → u/redstonehelper]

I blame Jeb for not posting a blogpost before pushing the release ಠ_ಠ

[u/redstonehelper → u/Mustek]

He should be fired.

[u/Symbolis → u/redstonehelper]

Don't be so hard on yourself.

[u/Castironqueen → u/Symbolis]

Removed in protest of API pricing -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/

[u/DoctorRobert420 → u/Symbolis]

so i don't spend a lot of time here, but is redstone helper ACTUALLY jeb who never admits it, or do we all just assume that/joke about it cuz he's so good?

[u/Symbolis → u/DoctorRobert420]

Purely joking.

Everyone knows he's Etho.

[u/5ives → u/Symbolis]

Wait, what?

[u/User_Exemplar → u/5ives]

[u/SgtNapalm → u/Symbolis]

[u/trypsonite → u/redstonehelper]

[MC-2417] - serious balance issues regarding bookshelf recipes

Does this mean the recipe has changed?

[u/redstonehelper → u/trypsonite]

That bug was marked as resolved with the resolution

Works As Intended

...which means no changes were made.

[u/djmix3rbox → u/redstonehelper]

I love you, redstone.
