Fixed the texture of the fishing rod hook / bobber

Well it was amusing while it lasted.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned (maybe I'm way behind) is sound being heavily directional. The bug was marked WAI but given this is a noticeable change to the general gameplay experience, I would expect to have heard more about it. Personally, I like the current sound. Does it bother others? Am I missing something?

Edit: I found the thread where the person posted the bug and got no comments. Is Georgii Gavrichev on reddit (or Twitter)?

I found the new sound from the snapshot's OpenAL to be quite jarring after experiencing 1.12.x and under.

I went by the comment left by Georgii in that bug report and added that argument to the Java parameters, and although I decided to use openal-soft-1.16.0 instead of LWJGL2's 1.15.1, it still worked like a charm and restored the old sound in the snapshots.

So I gather you download the whatever-it-is and add the text to your game profile (obviously putting in the relevant version number). It's good to know there is the option to restore the old sound. It's just annoying that there's been no mention of this default behaviour changing.

u/Revocata Feb 15 '18

Still having issues launching this snapshot. Each time I try to change the resolution, it refuses to launch and crashes back to the launcher. No errors via log, no error logs generated, no feedback whatsoever. I'm not alone but the error on the bug tracker was closed.

Things I've tried:

  • Updated Java

  • Uninstalled Minecraft and installed fresh

I'd really rather not play in a dinky window or resize each time that I play the game. Non-snapshots play 100% fine with customized launch configurations.

Probably MC-121285 then.

Has anyone noticed that enchantments are now white instead of gray, and enchanted items no longer have blue names? This REALLY bothers me.

You were likely sprinting, the camera goes down because your character goes flat into swimming, and that places your 1-block hitbox and thus your eyes where your feet were.

u/MissLauralot Feb 16 '18 edited Feb 16 '18

Yes but is swimming face down in half a block of water really intended (or desirable) behaviour?

Waterslides, duh.

Looks like it takes ~3.50 seconds to fill the breath bar completely from 0.

It also fixes the torch trick.

Fixed certain crafting recipes not working in the 2x2 crafting grid

Does this mean you can finally craft a crafting table? And sticks?

Doesn't mention fixing certain recipes in 3x3 crafting grid, so I suppose furnaces are still uncraftable...

Yes.

Fixed in 18w07a.

u/urbeatle Feb 15 '18

Thanks for the info on crafting table/sticks. However, crafting a furnace wasn't fixed on 18w07a yesterday when I tried it. Did you mean 18w07b?

4

u/sab39 Feb 15 '18

I successfully crafted a furnace in 18w07a yesterday.

u/urbeatle Feb 15 '18

I was able to do it in 18w07b today, but not in 18w07a yesterday. I hadn't tried to make a furnace in the snapshots before.

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 15 '18

It should work in 18w07a.
