Dug the rest of that tunnel Necris and found my other one I dug in the other direction. At least we have safe night access to each other. Have to dig some more straight tunnels so that we can create a minecart line.
can you read this?

Markus 'Notch' Persson, the creator of Minecraft, has admitted that the reason the latest game update is late is because of 'feature creep' — the eccentric Swedish programmer simply can't resist adding more and more new features to the next patch.

Version 1.5 of the Minecraft Beta is now due to go live next week, but it looks like it will be worth the wait; it will finally introduce powered rails for minecarts, and will also add the zombie pig-men of the Nether to the surface world — they'll spawn whenever a normal pig gets struck by lightning.

It's not all good news, however.

Herobrine is still not real, and I added an option to 1.5 to turn on occlusion culling. Most computers can handle it, and it helps a lot.

You know how you can climb ladders with gaps? Yeah, not in 1.5.


More details at Notch's official blog and Twitter.

Update: Notch has announced via Twitter that Version 1.5 will double the number of ladder segments created each time you craft them, so that players won't be any worse off.

They should have doubled the tracks instead.

I hope you don't mind marcus, but I'm making some not big but not small changes to the rail track system we have set up, if I do it right, all we will eed is a single cart and we will be propelled about 3 times faster than a powered cart system. So next time we're on I'll explain what I'm doing. :D

Meh, personally I just find this an interesting concept I wanted to try, it's mostly done now anyways. Crude and needs a bit of ironing out, but it mostly works.

Yeah, no worries Necris do what you want. I was going to do much the same as what I think you have done anyway. Fast travel is good!

Didn't say. Must just be some bug fixes.

Rejoice, Minecraft fans, as the long-awaited version 1.5 has finally arrived. The update adds a number of key new features such as new weather (rain, snow and thunder) that randomly casts itself across your biomes, achievements and statistic tracking, new rail pieces, and of course generic performance improvements.

Unfortunately the update did cause a number of bugs, including one major infinite loop bug related to the new railroad pieces. A new client update has been deployed to push Minecraft up to 1.5_02, which also adds a new feature on top of the bug fixes: the game will detect broken world saves and attempt to recover them automatically for you.

If you haven't seen the weather system in action or the achievements, check out our earlier article with all the details.


That's what it was! I'm liking this fixing of broken worlds! I wonder if it will fix our original one?

just so people know, lightning sets fire to things, like wood, so wolf, might want to lightning proof your house.
