Minecraft 1.3.1 thoughts

[wishinguponyou]

So, I have been messing around with Vanilla 1.3.1 finally, just testing and seeing all the recent changes and I wanted to put out my thoughts, and also see what others thought about the new update.

 

I like the idea of 1.3.1 working on a internal server, but I have been noticing the normal SMP issues that go along with it. I haven't noticed any lag fighting mobs, which really is nice, but world holes, I have encountered several times, and it is kinda annoying. I love that they added trading, but I doubt I will use it. I think it will be one of those features people use for a few days, and then stop. I normally build away from villages, so I can build a nice huge city myself. (Mods of course, with power station, water plant, the works.) The addition of the slabs and stairs with all the wood types is amazing, and needed. I love the trip wires, and can already dream up neat ways to incorperate them into builds. I really haven't played with the turned logs yet, so can't say much about it. Astetics though, it looks cool up in the trees that I have built in a flat test world.

 

Anyway, just my thoughts, love to hear some others.

The internal server was to reduce those bugs. World holes should be gone soon.

Trading is very cool. I just use it to get chainmail armor.

And a city with mods...

I think 1.3.1 is great. I like the temples they added. The tripwires are a nice touch too. My favorite thing though, is the LAN server option. Now my friend who is always over can play on my epic single player world! With mods!

The internal server was the first step in implementing the mod api (dinnerbone said it on the irc)

At least you don't need to code separate mods for SSP and SMP, which should make things a bit easier.
