The independent game Minecraft has finally entered the long awaited beta. Fans have been eager to see what the beta will bring, Notch had this to say on his Tumblr:
-
Working server-side inventory! Finally! (And as a result of that, a whole pile of bugs and issues got fixed)
* Made SMP servers save chunks way less often in most cases. Chunks don’t resave if they got saved in the last 30 seconds
* Moving too far away from a container, or having it blow up, closes the inventory screen
* Fixed /kill
* Introduced leaf decay again. It acts differently from before
* You can now throw eggs
* On a whim, added super exclusive clan cloaks for Mojang Employees
* .. and something else, which is even more rare
I personally enjoy Minecraft and can’t wait for more updates, especially Notch fixing multiplayer like he promised so long ago. It is assumed a major Christmas update will be released in similar fashion to the Halloween Special. Let’s hope it’s true.
