When thrown, the player will teleport to the Ender Pearl's impact location, but take 5 points of fall damage. This will not work in Creative. * Golden Apples now glow blue in inventory. * Fences no longer block you from moving onto their space. You can now stand next to them, like you can with glass panes and iron bars. * There is a slight delay between jumps when holding down the jump button, so that the player no longer bounces between ceiling and floor in two-block-high spaces. * Labels for items will be changed.

[quote=Searz]Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewl Can't wait.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]yeah. i can't wait to see what this new 6th mob is (as we've known about the other 5.) also, the current plan for endermen is to make them rarer, nerf their ability to move blocks (maybe even remove it completely) but make them a tougher combat opponent. currently they have 20 hearts of health (twice the players). they will also be better at teleporting to you (finally being able to teleport up), along with teleporting away from taking damage. (which means they would teleport to shade when the sun comes up and teleport away from water.) also i'll be updating the first post when new version info comes out. hopefully the hidden mob in this version or the mob in the next will finally be dragons.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]You got some more info about what you can use experience for? It would be fun if they added levels, so it became a little RPG-y.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]just posting what i find on minecraftwiki. all i can tell is that they are passive things, but potions are going to do all i can think of. what i can tell you about potions is that there are 19 potion effects in the game, of which 5 already exist in the game as non potions. the 5 that already exist are potion.movespeed which is sprinting potion.moveslowdown which decreases movespeed, used when charging a bow. potion.regeneration which is given with golden apples. (golden apples give you super regeneration along with hunger, even if you aren't at full hunger.) potion.hunger which makes you hungry faster (chance to happen when eat raw/rotten meat.) potion.poison (duh.) the other ones are potion.digspeed which breaks blocks faster potion.digslowdown which breaks blocks slower potion.damageboost undefined potion.heal instant health gain potion.harm instant health loss potion.jump higher jumps potion.confusion causes the camera to wobble potion.resistance undefined, basically an armor potion though im thinking potion.fireresistance reduced damage from fire and lava potion.waterbreathing unable to drown potion.invisibility undefined potion.blindness creates a black fog around the player potion.nightvision undefined potion.weakness apparently decreases the distance that you can reach screen of potion effects: [img]http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/thumb/8/81/OK2tE.png/800px-OK2tE.png[/img][/quote]

[quote=Atarios]I have Kiershars world xD[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@Atarios: You got blown up, didn't you...? Yeah, I saw the death-traps video. ~ ~ ~ ~ I'm still running 1.8 This is because the only mod I use is SinglePlayerCommands. I have superheat renamed as "transmute" and "freecam" renamed as "cv" :D That's all I use though, except for the occasional "killall squid" - Hate those things... I recently two doors in my base that have the switches super-well hidden. ^_^ It's super hard to find if you were a visitor playing legit - You wouldn't even know the doors were there. :P I've also collected 5 endermen pearls - I'm living in a fairly hostile area...[/quote]
