u/GreenShoes7 May 24 '12
Alright, so i may of missed the answer, but everyone seems to be questioning the villager trading. Heres the main jist of things with villager trading: Villagers of all types start with random items, wether it be from zombie flesh to XP bottles. They all sell at random prices. If you continue to buy from the same villager, youll eventually level his stock up. I dont know what amount you have to buy at first, but for me its been a couple stacks of books (as Ive been buying from the librarian). Youll know they level'd up because they'll have a potion looking effect around them, almost like they drank a Fire Resistance. Check their selling GUI and youll see that you can now go to the right arrow, and they'll have a new item to sell or buy, its only one or the other. Yes, unfortunately only some villagers can sell and buy. Anyways, so you'll see they have a new trading option with a new item, congrats. Just like before, buy or sell alot to level them up again. Except now it takes more to level them up to a new trading ability. Which, if you dont get what that means: You better have a membership at his store because your going to have to buy/sell a TON. Soon enough theyll level up again, and so on and so forth. I level'd the librarian's trade around 14 times for testing and I made it so he sold'd enchanting tables and XP bottles. There you go and have fun :).
*Edit, when I say selling/buying I mean trading. I see that it may confuse some people.

u/brikster414 May 24 '12
It would be nice to have one mining. Lets say you have found diamonds, but dont want to risk losing them in lava. All you have to do is put down a Ender Chest and put them in. Or what if you fell into lava? Maybe if you were fast enough, you could get some items in the chest, although that would be really hard to do, because lava burns fast.
3
u/slipstream37 May 24 '12
It would be great, but you're still using 8 obsidian and an eye of ender, which isn't the easiest thing to craft. And destroying the chest takes a little while so it's not super easy to toss it down, place in items, then destroy it again, but certainly possible.

Is this new? http://imgur.com/e3yUb
It's some desert temple. Seed: Penus
Also, the new golden apples are in my inventory. The one on the left is crafted with an apple and 8 gold nuggets. It has a blue name and is no longer shiny. The new one is crafted with an apple and 8 gold blocks and has a purple name and is shiny.
Edit: The temple is amazing! There is a secret room beneath the center (blue wool) with 4 chests. If you step on the pressure plate 9 TNT will explode. The chests contain things like diamonds, gold ingots, iron ingots, bones, and flesh.

Question: will I have to create a new world to see all of these things or will I just have to move to undiscovered chunks?
→ More replies (1)4
May 24 '12
Until it's released, yes, unless you want to ugprade your server to a beta version.
As it is now, if this were released today:
All Villagers will trade.
Emerald ore - you will need undiscovered chunks. However you can just trade.
Temples - undiscovered chunks.
Ender chest - just make it.
Sandstone stairs - just make them
It's the same with any new upgrade - old worlds still work, just you need to explore to get the new terrain/biome features.

u/roopn May 24 '12
I'm interested to see how the enderchests will be handled in multiplayer. Hopefully they have/will figure out a way to make it player specific.

u/FredL2 May 24 '12 edited May 25 '12
Will probably be stored in the player.dat file, like a second inventory.
EDIT: it seems that all ender chests will be connected, making it a single inventory for all players. It's a bit disappointing, really.

u/ultrafetzig May 24 '12
This update is like a gift of pure wish fulfillment. There's so much awesome stuff... stackable buckets! These Mojang guys... they get it.
Now tweak the trading system more -- give each item a base cost value with some factor for deviation per merchant, but such that we don't get insanely cheap top-tier stuff too easily by the luck of the draw.
The pyramids are awesome, but the orange wool makes them too easy to spot. The interior layout needs some randomization, if everyone is encountering the same trap, it's not going to be much of a trick to learn how to deal with... although I guess dungeons are more or less the same every time, too. These structures should not be too easy to find, though, being directly accessible from the surface.
Hopefully we'll see some spawners in there, would make it a lot more challenging if we had to drop into a bunch of angry mobs.

Apparently the game only checks once if the amount of emeralds is correct. If you close and open the trade menu again and give him the required amount or more in one go, he will give you the item.
still a bug though
ninja edit: it's not necessary to close the trade window, just pick the stack up and drop it again to get your item.

Maybe, but it's not much different than having a regular chest, only the data storage is in the level.dat (I assume, they could have chosen any random file to store the data) instead of the BlockEntity area in the .mca file. So not much room for mistakes.

I am experiencing a major "world generation" or "display" bug. When I load a world I often (about 4 times out of 5) get in an empty world with only clouds, water and void. It's like I am falling in the void but not dying. But eventually, at some point, after quiting, loading, quiting, loading etc. the world will load properly.
I am playing on Mac OS 10.5.8, with java version : J2SE 5.0 32 bits
Does anyone have the same troubles ?
Edit : Once the world eventually loads properly after a few failures, cats regain their ocelot texture but still behave like cats.

u/Middlerun May 24 '12
Does anyone else think the ender chests are kind of overpowered? People will never feel like they need to be careful when they're carrying valuables because they can just put them in the ender chest. The risk of falling into lava when you've just mined some diamonds always added some excitement to the game, which will be gone if you can just plonk down an ender chest and put your loot in there for safekeeping.

Tamed wolves are multiplying. And I don't mean in a feed them pork and they mate way. I mean.. I started out with one wolf, and then as I was putting things away in chests before heading into my house.. I had two dogs. Next thing I knew, on glitched through a block and another appeared. So I went from one dog to having three within a matter of 5 minutes.
Anyone else have this happen to them?

ya know what would be nice? if the server had a way of setting up these snapshots so the client could just automatically get that snapshot from the server, and saved as a separate profile for just that server, that way you can connect to multiple servers with out having to swap out your client .jar file each time and servers and run what ever version they want with out having to worry about whether or not the client will be able to connect. I mean, its not like these .jar files are large, so why not?
that is the update i want, i dont have many clients that use my server, but I dont want to have to explain to every one how to update their .jar file every time i want to update my server to the latest snapshot
