Hello everyone.. So Beta 1.4 came out about 6pm GMT last Thursday (31-02-2011)
Full details on the 1.4 update can be found <HERE>
What are the main new things?
- A New Minecraft Splash Screen Logo;
- Sleeping in a bed will now reset your spawn point. Although this didn’t seem to work when me and Mangler tried it? Maybe something to be looked into
- Sheep now spawn in Brown and Pink (Me and Mangler saw a few Brown ones but no pink – Keep an eye out for the video)
- Cookies have now been added – Healing 1/2 a heart and requiring cocoa beans to make (Cocoa beans are only available in dungeon chests and we couldn’t work out how to spawn them!)
- WOLVES (or Doggies!) – Me and Mangler found a bunch of these – Look out for the video soon!
(Wolves cannot travel through doors. A small hole can be punched out near the door as they are 1×1, thus creating a “doggy-door” until their pathfinding is updated to recognize open doors as a path they can walk through) – Gonna have to try this.
And finally;
- Locked Chests (This turned out to be an April Fools joke)
I first got wind of this when MineCrap tweeted to a link to a Minecraft Merch store (I remember Notch taking the mic out of games that charged you to unlock stuff) Upon visiting it I figured it was something fake.. Although I did think about the name change options for a second…
I generated a new world with th M1neTube seed (Just to check it out, nice world actually) and wandered around for a bit.. I then found this chest on the beach!?
Say What? I this some sort of glitched out Dungeon? (I could hear Zombies)
So I right-clicked on it.. Well I had to really right?
Erm.. Right ok – I clicked the link and it took me here;
(p.s. the store was here but it now shows 404 error)
When you click on ‘Proceed To Checkout’ It then played a loud noise and a dinosaur popped up! lol
Apparently is you add more than 10k to the basket the screen starts flashing bright colours!
The site changed to display this animated message after April 1st 😀
So I tried to destroy the chest.. No happening, lol. Then it got dark and the chest glowed.. Coolio!
Thats about it really!
I hope you liked this post!
