He spent 90% of dev time on Biomes and the Slip, torches probably don't take very long, don't give up hope! At least there's fishing!

He did spend most of the month picking out his office (Despite the fact he has 10 Million Euros to spend on it), so he has been working pretty fast, torches seem easy tbh.

NOOOOOOOOOOO! We need working Carts! That's the most important thing to me, and i'm shocked he hasn't fixed it over the past few months. :P

[Pyroka]

This will be my sunday sorted.

But at least we can grow pumpkins now!

Lovely substitute for transit.

I would of loved to see the carting working to be honest, ah well.

Edit: Sorry that I closed the thread earlier, it was a mistake. :(

[Chippiewill]

C418 has delivered. I'm behind schedule.
Yay music!


Health and other fancy features for multiplayer are coming with the beta release. This is not the beta release.
D: Notch! I wuv you so much but WHY!


The pumpkin hat is implemented.
Epicness


Having some trouble with the portals in SMP; both maps need to be loaded at once.
Goddamit!


Minecarts and boats still won't work well in SMP after this update. But the tracks will.
So long as the tracks work (So useful) :/


It tries to generate the portal as close to your source position as possible. If there's no room underground, it'll be above.
Answers!


Biomes are now properly synched in multiplayer, and rails no longer cause data sending loops.
Yay! What does it mean?


You know that bridge mod thing.. I might have to borrow that idea!
Yay


Guess what.. Furnaces should now face the opposite direction the player is facing when you plant them.
More Yay


And so do stairs now. They will never auto-turn ever again!
Double Yay all the way!

@matt Notch would never accidentally close threads D:

[Verrou]

So wait, when you place furnaces you have to stand behind where you want them to face? That sounds dumb...

[Chippiewill]

No, I thought that at first but when you think it does make sense, it means the furnaces will face you when placed.

What about the new scary fish?

[jackass]

Still really annoyed at the Minecarts! That was the update I was looking forward to the most. :'(

more like 5 million euros
10 euroes (ish) x 500k = 5million.

What does a few million really mean?

New update (SOOOO ANGRY ABOUT MINECARTS!!!!!):

http://i.imgur.com/bPmYJ.png

And I think it's being released at 23:00 GMT.

And also... "Portals won't work in SMP in this update." ~ Yay, great news. -.-

"You can set the server to run in Nether mode now if you really want to play it in SMP. The portal will be fixed before beta sometime."

[Verrou]

The boo list never even said carts were coming, so dunno why you're getting your knickers in a twist.

Yeah, hardly the same.

Also, fishing will work in SMP, but you can't keep the fish...

"Less bugs, more implemented features" ~ Minecarts are pretty much the main one...

[Fez]

I'm going to be adding a portal section to The Network, to finally finish it. Going to make the room all nice and splendid for when Notch finally fixes it.

[Verrou]

AMG ITS OUT FISHING IS SO KEWL

[Matthew]

If it is... Woo!!

let me just get minecraft open..

[Verrou]

I need to make a portal :/
