                               *Grass
                                 *Water
#New Water Physics for vertical movement.
#Water is back the way it was before pre4, plus:
Whenever a water source is surrounded on all sides by blocks or water (not necessarily source blocks) and it has an air block or (non source) water block below, then that air/water block turns into a water source. From Darquan (I think it is intentional. It eliminates the underwater currents when you place and remove a block. The behaviour seems to be carefully chosen such that it cannot automatically flood entire caves,       nor does it seem to break typical ways of using water for automatic harvesting.) Bug.
#Water can be placed in water again.
#"End Stone" (from The End) and "Mycelium" from the Mushroom biome!

Lava can be made infinite by digging 1 square down, and making a "plus" sign - 5 squares total. Fill the outsides with lava.

#

#

Misc.

#Lighting is different. Colors are now better matched with the color of the light source.
#Longer reach for fighting mobs.
#Creative mode - logging back in will no longer make you 'fall' from falling.
#Player bow draw-back animation improved.
#Range of attack distance in creative has Reports of better FPS.
#Balancing of enchantments.
#New Achievements
     *DIAMONDS! - Acquire diamonds with your iron tools.
      *Enchanter - Use a book, obsidian and diamonds to cunstruct an enchantment table.
       *Librarian - Build some bookshelves to improve your enchantment table.
        *Overkill - Deal eight hearts of damage in a single hit.
         *We Need to Go Deeper - Going through a portal to the Nether.
          *Return to Sender - Destroy a Ghast with a fireball.
           *Into Fire - Relieve a Blaze of its rod.
            *Local Brewery - Brew a potion.
             *The End? - Locate the End.
              *The End. - Defeat the Ender Dragon.

#Villages now have small fenced off patches of dirt with either wheat or tall grass growing in them, connected to the houses.
#Light glitch on stairs fixed.
#Jumping makes you lose xp points. Bug for some?

Sounds bad. This whole 1.9 thing just seems to be ruining it for me. I don't like endermen, nor Ender Dragons, and I guess, to be honest, I prefered 1.7.3 :/
Enchantments? Don't particularly care.
The End? Ruining my beta server I play on because they can only host 1 other world (World + Nether/End) and end sounds like it sucks.

Now... If dragon eggs hatch into dragons you can ride on, and shoot ghast fire balls with, that would be pretty boss.


Thank god I have Skyrim to keep me company
Also, with all this pre-release of a pre-release (beta). aren't Jeb + Notch leaving it a bit late? They need to get 1.9 + 2.0 out before release (Last I heard was 11.11.11).

[Nyssa]

jeb said the final version will probably be 1.0 (which is what the original post is about)

[omaroo2]

Umm he said after 1.9, 2.0 will come and it will not be the final version.

[Nyssa]

i mean release version, i know they will update it.
jeb said 1.0 on twitter a while ago, unless they changed their minds.

[clawstrider]

jeb said the final version will probably be 1.0 (which is what the original post is about)

So it goes 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.0

[clawstrider]

Ok...

I don't like endermen,

And I can't say obsidian towers particularly inspire excitement in me :/ It seems Notch thinks "Uh, Endermen, everyone seems to love them! Lets just make a whole world of them! So then everyone will buy Minecraft, and its easy for me to code!"

I would prefer it so much if he contacted the Aether Team. Now that would be bad ass.

Potions sound rubbish.
