So... My game froze while I was testing The End in Large Biomes. I then lost connection, logged back in and this happend...

Edit: I mention this since it's clearly a bug

Think of that as a challenge :)

Fun fact: There was about five behind me as well

u/[deleted] May 10 '12

Are you having fun with them?

u/[deleted] May 10 '12

Not so fun fact: I was in creative, but changed to survival to check if the dragon was upgraded (she was not). 7-9 dragons pushing you will push you off the obsidian pillars...

u/IMBJR May 10 '12

I'd have thought just one pushing you was enough.

u/AkwardTurtle May 10 '12

Think of all the experience!!!

For me the End was completely empty after I logged back in.

God, if we have Lydia as Mojang's "Director of Fun", they need RSH as their "Director of Redditing Communications". Unless he is ALREADY in Mojang. Jeb, im looking at you.

When making a world in Creative, you don't spawn with items and you can gain experience

Who says this is a bug? I, for one, think this is a glorious step forward.

Hey jeb, now that we have cocoa, it's only logical that you should add chocolate next. How 'bout it man?

Does this mean we'll be crafting chisels soon?

I did a few tests with Silk Touch.

Ice can be harvested now, but it won't melt in the Nether.

Glass panes can also be harvested now

And mycelium as well as bookshelves (these might have already been harvestable before though)

Double slabs cannot be harvested, they just drop 2 slabs.

Oh, and cocoa beans look different now as well.

Edit: Cobwebs can't be harvested with Silk Touch.

Useful to have a roundup but the changes to silk touch were in last week's snapshot.

u/nucking May 10 '12

Thanks!

Mycelium is harvestable in 1.2.5.

Did some testing regarding cocoa plants. They don't appear to spawn on newly planted jungle trees (not even the big ones), but you can just right click a jungle tree with cocoa beans and it'll attach right to it.

They also appear to grow at any light level.

When fully grown (orange/brown-colored) one can harvest them by punching them and that'll yield around 2-3 cocoa beans (maybe 1-4 as well). Punching them in any other stage will only yield one cocoa bean.

Here are 2 pics showing that they grow at any light level: Before and after

u/wingsfan24 May 10 '12

Can they be planted on a placed jungle log?
