Minecraft Beta 1.2 is live. All servers need to be updated to 1.2.
New features:
* Note blocks (right click to tune, trigger to play)
* 15 wool dyes
* A new water dwelling mob
* New tree types
* Reeds magically turned into sugar canes. They still make paper.
* A bunch of new crafting recipes
* One secret useful block
* One secret pretty block
* Cake
* AND MOAR, probably. I forget!
Bugfixes:
* Paintings work in multiplayer
* Disconnecting while riding no longer keeps the player in the world
* A bunch more state is properly synched in multiplayer
* Fixed colors going weird on PowerPC
* Fixed a horrible chunk reload loop in singleplayer
* Fixed most lighting bugs in newly generated SMP maps
* Falling sand behaves better in SMP
* Fixed a few crash on load level bugs

oh and the mob is a squid :o

Some reason my server has stopped working since update lol


Internal exception: java.io.UTFDataFormatException: malformed input around byte 11

[Josh]

What server? Tom's? Or your own? You'll need to update the server as well.

What have people found so far? Apparently there are allot of new things to craft, and new textures to things.
Found some weird trees but they do seem to do aynthing different from the normal ones I guessing there wood will be used in one of the new things to craft.

But then my fort will look gay.

Does anyone know if an updated server would need a new map for the new blocks?

[redtom]

No it wouldn't, you wouldn't find any of the new blocks in areas currently on your server, but if you explore past what you currently have been to making your game generate more of the map (creating new chunks) these new chunks will have all the new stuff on them.

So basically your current map will not have any of the new Blocks, to find theses you will have to explore past your current map.

[Hiro]

Man, that sucks.
Is there any way to cut chunks out of a map and put them into a map gen?

[j0rd]

My personal server. This sounds stupid but how do you update the server? lol

[redtom]

You have to update the minecraft.jar file on your server... I think don't have minecraft server.

Spiders.. ****.

I actually hope they prune some of the chunks as we have a border system on the server so we can't actually explore any further yet and like, we don't want it too big yet. Pruning would be good.

Why have your own server? :S:S:S

[Hiro]

I found out how to delete chunks from the map. But we decided to start fresh since it would be too much hassle with uploading and waiting for the silly admin approval thing over at Multiplay.
It's always fun to start fresh. :P

Plus, if we do decide to go back to it, I still have a backup :D
