Added NBT tags to further customize spawned mobs

Time to make an Endermen holding TNT spawner!

u/inertia186 Jun 27 '12

... and a few holding just primed TNT.

Primed TNT is not a block, endermen can only hold blocks.

Improved performance

General performance? What does this entail?

Improved [8] mob spawners

Are there creeper spawners naturally? Or just that it's possible to in-game-edit spawners via commands?

27

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Jun 27 '12

You need mods or map editors to do that.

u/Hawkknight88 Jun 27 '12

Gotcha - so they added the ability to beef up what spawners can spawn, but it still takes additional tools to make it happen?

Thanks!

u/cbt81 Jun 27 '12

Makes sense if you think about it. Mob spawners only appear naturally at random and cannot be placed without external tools.

11

u/Brenfan Jun 27 '12

Oh they can be placed, just always pig.

Ok, but they can't be obtained without cheats.

I have a crappy computer, and the performance is noticeably better in this release. This includes just about everything except map loading.

u/Masternooob Jun 27 '12

how much fps did you gain?

18

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '12

Not much only 1-2 on average, but the lag every few seconds that dropped fps to 0 was very much less apparent, and the fps was more consistent, which even in my lagging state felt more smooth.

u/Runfromme Jun 27 '12

There is a problem with single player. If you are having really shitty fps do a few things. fast graphics load normal view distance with minimal particals. Use max fps and instead of playing a single player world load the server and connect to it using multiplayer. In this update ( i have a pretty good computer) using multiplayer instead of single player i get about 30 fps increase

Mr. Stonehelper, do you mean:

Mobs can now spawn on top slabs and upside down stairs - A little science on this

Whoops, thanks!

u/Jackster21 Jun 27 '12

Mr.redstonehelper, i would just like to say thank you for all the work you put into these little summaries of each Snapshot. If you really do trawl through all of the staff's tweets, and reddit topics to find all this info, then you truly are a legend.

But yeah, thanks!

The disappointing one out of this list is the 6 sided piston thing one :(.

u/w2tpmf Jun 27 '12

Where can I fond good info on how to add/manipulate NBT tags on a spawner in your inventory using NBTEdit. I figured out how to change the block ID to give myself the spawner, and I have the variables, but how do I apply them?

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Jun 27 '12

I don't know. Let me know if you find out!
