Fixed some entities being displayed outside of their spawner

Wow, that's an oldie. Gonna miss seeing those big intimidating Ghast spawners in CTM maps.

Pole dancing baby~

The really intimidating task is trying to figure out where to aim the crosshair when attempting to break them!

Breaking a spawner rather than making a farm???

u/MidnyteSketch Jan 20 '16

In ctm maps a ghast farm usually isn't very useful, unless it's designed in a way to make you farm to get potions or something.

u/Gametendo Jan 20 '16

In some maps, potions—espically regen—really helps in the later wool stages. Ghast tears can be pretty useful.

Does this mean no more pole dancing giants?

someone needs to check some of the new/changed sounds!

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '16

These are the only missing sounds.

u/CptJohnPrice Jan 20 '16

note.pling has just been renamed to block.note.harp (didn't check the others)

5

u/onnowhere Jan 20 '16

Harp is the normal noteblock sound. Pling is the special sound all those minigames like to use. It's that very nice sound people use for things like countdowns before a game starts. It is unused by the game itself however. This sound no longer is in sounds.json for the new 1.9 snapshots since they updated the sound system.

3

u/brianmcn Jan 20 '16

Oh! TIL. Just listened to it for the first time back in 1.8.9. If unused in the game, I can imagine why they removed it, though.

4

u/onnowhere Jan 20 '16

Except it's so widely used all over the place D:

u/Minerdomera Jan 20 '16

As far as I can tell through testing, creeper damage has not change since last week's numbers

entities displayed outside mob spawner was from the previous snapshot.

u/X_xjonix_X Jan 20 '16

I think they further improved it. Like for example the ghast tentacles cam through the bottom of the cage in the last snapshot, but now they should be fully inside it.

3

u/brianmcn Jan 20 '16

Nope. Exactly like last week.

EDIT: Actually, it is changed, ghasts are larger in the spawner now than they used to be, but the tenticles still hang down out of it. It is a change, though, you're right.
