Upcoming Updates
Battlefield: Close Quarters
So the next snapshot for testers to test the new update of Minecraft is now live !
With new features such as you can now actually harvest coco beans off of the jungle trees, instead of running around mineshafts looking for them !
There is now a so called "currency" for the game now, which is the newly added Emerald (ore) ! So far it doesnt seem to be found very easily either.
A new structure has been added to the structures that are randomly generated every map you create now, they are known as pyramids and will be found usually in sand biomes. It hasnt been decided by the team yet
if they are going to add hidden treasures or mazes in the pyramids yet, would be interesting none the less !
As always the team did their best to make the textures even more realistic and better for everyones enjoyment, but this update especially they worked hard on making the stars at night time look realistic ! Wow !
When the snapshot was announced and they said they were going to release it shortly they added a little teaser to go along with it,
in that teaser he showed two new things that got a lot of people excited to get a hold of this new update ! The EnderChest and
all new Creative Menu, These mysterious chests (which seem to be linked throughout worlds) you can place blocks in one EnderChest
and if you have another Enderchest elsewhere you can acess those items there too ? Crazy !
The new Creative Menu also got peoples eye's, It is much more organized and clean so finding the item you are looking for is even
easier to find ! With the new item tabs and even a search box incase you forget where a certain item is in the menu !
The last big change we noticed was tripwire, It seems as though they are adding tripwire into the game which will work just like it
would it real life. Powered by redstone, you could put two tripwires across a 3x3 hallway and attach each end of the tripwire to
redstone which could be attached to things like : Tnt, Redstone Lamps, Pistons, Etc. This will certainly come in handy for those
people that love creating traps in their worlds and tricking there friends into dying and then greedly take all their friends items,
or they just simply love making their friend fall in a lava trap and watch as he jumps around and burns to death. (ouch.)
So, what are you waiting for? Grab the latest snapshot at the Minecraft Forums now and start having fun with all these things !
Now excuse me while i go make some tripwire traps !
