NEW MOB COMING TO 1.2!

Ocelot!

Ocelot is a new mob due to come in in 1.2, they will spawn in the new jungle biomes. Ocelots are the first mob to sprint, their behavior seems to be shy, as the Ocelots will sprint away from the player once it gets close, and will stop sprinting and walk normally once far enough away. Ocelots can also be bred with Raw Fish.
They will also hunt down chickens just like wolf do to sheep acept they will do it is very sneakly and punce on there prey

Stephen Philp @stephenphilp
@jeb_ Would it be possible to have a way of getting jungle biomes in 1.1 maps without messing up the other biomes?



Jens Bergensten Jens Bergensten @jeb_
@stephenphilp I'm trying to fix it...



Stephen Philp @stephenphilp
@jeb_ Yay Good luck



Perhaps if he "fixes" the biome code, we could just expand the borders again a little? So, 8k in each direction, up from the existing 7k. That would give us a 1,000 block wide strip around the existing map where jungle biomes could possibly spawn. Not sure how that could affect the map file size, though. I assume that a 1k strip that is basically 24k long would add a fair bit to the overall map file size.

12w07b:



The block hight has changed to 256 blocks high

Zombies will now invade villages in hordes and there are now baby NPC villagers.

New redstone lights that can be turned off and on with redstone, levers etc. redstone lights can be crafted just like watch but instead of gold use redstone and in the centre put a block of glowstone

I might have misunderstood, but from the Twitter thread I followed, Jens is saying that all maps in the future (as of 1.2x) will be "Anvil" format maps, and the old maps will be converted automatically to Anvil, with a backup made of the old map prior to conversion.

The new map format lets Jens simply add 128 blocks of air on top of existing maps. Since the Anvil format does not send air blocks, or "empty" spaces, to the client during chunk updates, the server impact should be negligible, even possibly causing better performance, since existing maps have a lot of air blocks from sea level up to 128.

Basically, I'm hoping my interpretation is correct, since it would clear the way for some vast new structures not possible before in Minecraft.


Edit: My info comes from some answers given on Jen's Twitter account (Jeb_), but mostly this post on Mojang.com:

Re: Official Minecraft Update Thread [ 1.7 news]

Also, one other thing that Jens stated in a Twitter post, glowstone will once again be able to conduct redstone and have restone dust laid on it.

I can't find the tweet right now, but basically, someone asked Jens if "the fact you can put redstone on glowstone again was a feature or bug". Jens replied its a "feature".

Re: Official Minecraft Update Thread [ 1.7 news]

Re: Official Minecraft Update Thread [ 1.7 news]
Aconan, Sat Feb 18 2012, 05:41PM

I decided to make a form of skyscraper to illustrate the magnitude of the new height.

This will certainly allow us to build structures never before seen in minecraft. It is also worth noting that the 25x25 blocks normally allowed for skyscrapers is insufficient. I believe 50x50 should give a reasonable base.






I for one would love a version of this.

Couple of quick points..... the redstone-on-glowstone was actually part of the game up till the 1.0 "final" version (I think). Also, we had the ability to put tracks on glowstone. After the update, tracks would pop off glowtone if a block update happened to the glowstone or track block, and we could no longer lay tracks on glowstone. That wasn't the first time it happened either, there was an update on the beta a while back that broke this, due to glowstone being switched in the code from block type 'stone' to 'glass'. Not sure why, in the final version, Jens switched it back to the redstone-incompatible type.... as he initially got a lot of grief for this.

Anyway, having redstone back on glowstone is not as big of a deal as having the ability to lay tracks on glowstone, personally. I would rather have rails than redstone on glowstone, tbh. It would make constructing skylines much simpler.


As for the render distance, remember that in single player the render distance is different than multiplayer. On servers, there is the ability to restrict how many chunks are sent to each client. The radius of what you can see around you is dependent on how many chunks the server is feeding you. I've already tested this in both single player and on the server, building a tower to 128 in an area I have reserved to build in, and the render distance even at 128 high is, in my opinion, lacking on the server currently. The build I have planned will not be fully visible from one end to the other.

Perhaps if the Anvil map format does allow better for performance in multiplayer, Broonie can tweak the chunk updates value a bit?

Re: Official Minecraft Update Thread [ 1.7 news]

I believe you need to make a horse saddle to ride them (all be it, it looks no different to a normal saddle but meh) and used for riding from all I can gather. you have to earn their trust though before you can ride them.
