Rain & Snow

Just scanned through notch's twitter and saw this;

MUOAHAHA! Pigs that get hit by lightning turn into zombie pigmen ;D

That's gonna be epic!

Jeb's been talking about powered rails and un-powered rails so it looks like the minecart system is gonna be a hole lot easier.

He also said something about during lightening storms the light level drops by 1 so mobs can spawn during the day.

[jackass]

How? Haha, light levels during the day are 15, so if it's dropped by 1, then it goes to 14, and mobs can only spawn in light levels 7 and below.

Don't ask me, that's just what Notch put on twitter. XD

[redtom]

Yeah I saw that as well, but he didn't exactly say spawn he just said monsters during storms.. made me think their might be a new mob? But there's been nothing else hinting towards it. will probably just mean pigmen and maybe spiders are aggressive during storms?

[Chris]

He said if pigs get hit by the lightening then they turn into those pigmen things. lol.

Another change for 1.5:

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

and

"To make up for the ladder fix, I fixed the side textures of grass! Also things walking through snow produce snow particles around their feet"

'bout time too, the minecarts were one of my favourite potential features when I first started using it. It'll be nice to actually use the underground train system on a map I use too

I read something saying that crafting ladders will make 2 instead of just the one.
