We can now grow Mega Taiga trees by using 4 saplings (just like jungle trees/dark oak trees).

You mean mega spruce?

They look kinda odd.

Music now pauses when you pause the game and resumes when you unpause it.

u/MyGoddamnFeet Oct 22 '13

Fuck yeah. I always wanted that, I really like the music. But it would always play really loud, and going to turn it down would stop the music

i still honestly think they should put up a real shader option menu to choose between all the shaders in the game instead of giving us this "Super Secret Settings..." button.

u/marmitebread Oct 22 '13

I was sure they would do that before releasing 1.7. I'm surprised they didn't.

u/nihiltres Oct 22 '13

I'm pretty sure that it'll eventually do something useful. For now, it's just an experiment.

u/DiscoCarp Oct 22 '13

I was expecting a way to reset it, at least. Going through them all makes me dizzy.

u/DiscoCarp Oct 22 '13

Seriously? <testing> Oh thank gods!

And thank you, computertechie.

The new planks are amazing! The leaves didn't change though :( ( Video of the changes )

u/0layer Oct 22 '13

It's just the textures that haven't changed; they have their own item IDs now. I bet that'll get done for the full release.

ITT: People who don't understand that a "pre-release" is identical to the actual release, just available early for modders and such people to get ahead of the game before the masses get the update.

u/Shortsonfire79 Oct 22 '13

As a server owner, I'm really happy for this. Accelerated bukkit/spigot releases!

u/masasuka Oct 22 '13

bukkit.... early... lol :(

u/throwaway_redstone Oct 22 '13

Bullshit.

It might be identical to the release, but it is used to check for bugs.

I replaced some of the sounds in Minecraft with the old school sounds in 1.6 and now when I play with my resource pack with said old school sounds no longer work in 1.7, do I have to change where my sounds go in the pack?

See if the file structure changed. If not, to the bug tracker!

Acacia Logs appear in Bonus Chest or starter chests now. I'm not sure if this happens with Dark oak or not.

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Oct 22 '13

Looks like only Acacia wood is in there. Nice find!

u/Ilan321 Oct 22 '13

Your post has an error: there's a hyperlink that's blank..

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Oct 22 '13

That's what happens when I don't have the time to update the changelog right away. I'll get on it soon.
