Beta 1.3

If you read my post yesterday you probably have understood that the Beta 1.3 patch is out!

Here a copy-paste from Notch's blog.

* Implemented a new lighting engine with the help of MrMessiahs (can be turned off)
* Changed the options around, added a new “Graphics options” button
* Added beds. If all players in a map sleeps in a bed during night, the game immediately skips until morning
* Added three new half-size blocks
* Added Delay/Repeater redstone dust blocks
* Added whitelisting to the server. To use, enter “whitelist ” where cmd is “on”, “off”, “add ”, “remove ”, “list” or “reload”
* New save file format, old maps need to be converted (that might take a while..)
* It’s now possible to have more than five save slots, and to rename saves
* Scrollbars in both the texture pack list, and in the map selection screen
* Replaced the Mojang splash image to reflect the new logo colors
* .. and a bunch of bug fixes and tweaks!

Redstone Repeater block

Okey so today the Beta 1.3 was launched, earlier then I had expected!

And here is a tutorial video of the new redstone repeater block!

Minecraft on iPad and iPhone

I know this is yesterdays news but I couldn't post them yesterday since I am sort of babysitting my two cousins. Yesterday we went to see Djurgården beat the crap out of Frölunda in ice hockey, the final score was 5-1 to Djurgården.

On to the news!

within a year, you will be able to play minecraft on your iPhone and iPad. If you got the i-version of the game you will not get every update that will come out. Rather you will get the updates that are neccessary for yur platform.

First I saw this on the swedish gaming site www.fz.se and later on the swedish newspaper Aftonbladet made an article about it as well.

There have also been atleast one tweet about it yesterday from the Mojang crew so it is "confirmed" and official.

Working!

The server is working again!

We are currantly online and working on it!

Khaaaaan!

Hello peeps!

We might have figured out a way to get the server map back in working condition!

A friendly soul posted a comment here on the blog and told me/us how you could fix it. A friend, MedicAtk, has done the things you had to to and tried it on singelplayer. And it worked perfectly! Next step is to send the file back to the guy hosting the server and keeping out fingers crossed that it works on the SMP as well.

Set backs

We had 2 major set backs on the project yesterday.

#1 The server got a power failure which made the world save corrupt. So if we can't fix it, we have to use a backed up world that is 7 days old.

#2 One of the guys I am building with have heard rumors about someone else that already made what we are doing.
