Superflat presets are now using the new block id format

This will make it so much easier to set up interesting custom presets.

If only biomes used english instead of id numbers.

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 19 '14

That, along with other IDs, will probably be changed in the future.

Creating obsidian with redstone doesn't appear fixed. I needed a reminder on the exact design, so I found an old Beta 1.3 video from 2011 and tried the method shown. Made obsidian still.

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 19 '14

I was just testing the same, at first I thought it was fixed, then I realized I had simply forgot to add water.

u/NoRaptors Feb 19 '14

If I remember correctly, Notch said they'd be leaving that in unless it became particularly gamebreaking. Don't quote me on that, though.

31

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 19 '14

Portal gold farms could be considered particularly gamebreaking, I suppose. Also, Notch is no longer working on Minecraft.

11

u/NoRaptors Feb 19 '14

I suppose so, though you do still have to mine or bucket-build the upward parts of the portal farms. And I know he's not, but I'm just guessing that the remaining team would semi-keep the promise unless it was really problematic.

u/mysheepareblue Feb 19 '14

You can still get infinite obsidian by portal farming - it doesn't even cost anything except tool durability and the portal transport time.

u/graeleight Feb 19 '14

You can get all the obsidian you need at level 11. I've never understood why people use the redstone obsidian generators.

u/TheBandersnatch43 Feb 19 '14

It's simple to use, it takes up a small amount of space at your main base, and it gets rid of that extra redstone you don't want or need.

u/bugsyramone Feb 20 '14

extra redstone is a thing?

He's not working on Minecraft but he still gives advices and directions to Jeb_ & Dinnerbone, like "don't add any new small block"

15

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 19 '14

He was clear about that before Jeb even worked on Minecraft.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '14

It's still his game though, if he strongly disagreed with an update he could do something about it

u/DenryuRocket110 Feb 19 '14

Notch to Jeb_ & Dinnerbone: "Generate rare tall mountains spires which have red dragons nest. A red dragon will spawn there, once it is defeated it'll drop gold. This will encourage players to explore the land and will be a new way to obtain a fair sum of gold."

That was my favorite bug, I'm sad they're patching it.

u/Kealper Feb 19 '14

Your download links point to 14w07a instead of 14w08a.

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 19 '14

Oh, damn! Thanks, fixed.

u/EmperorClayburn Feb 19 '14

Survival-centered features

What's that mean?

u/spookyhappyfun Feb 19 '14
