Redstone (I)

In the new update redstone will greatly be affected in minecraft. Most timings of redstone stuff will be changed! There will be redstone signal strength for most blocks and redstone will be a lot more like analog signals. All the BUDS will also be affected and instead there might be a BUD switch block!. There will be a Comparator, weighted pressure plates, and a daylight detector which would take the amount of light in the room and it would be converted to redstone signals.

New ores and more (II)

Yup! Just like the title says, there will be at least one new ore! (so there could be more than one!) They will most likey add an ore to the nether to make people explore it. There will also add a ton of stuff to minecarts and rails. They will add a new rail that would fill and remove items in a minecart chest, a way to link minecarts together, a rail that would unload a mob or player, tons of new uses for storage minecarts, andf minecarts and rails will act kind of like railcraft.

New stuff in .minecraft (III)

A lot of stuff will be edited here as well. They will rewrite the rendering engine which will change quite a bit. There will be bad things about it but also good things too! Minecraft will require a higher OpenGL feature set but it will include some sort of fallback for older hardware. The internal layout of texture packs will change to having each block/item have its own file causing all texture packs to be remade or reformated but the good thing is that now it supports anything bigger than 16 x 16(which means no patching!), supports animated textures for each block, and now you can change the geometry for each texture! Also adds more realistic lighting and fancy lighting control but if you think this will add more lag... It won't! There will also be more FPS which means way less lag!

Bug Fixes (IV)

Here i'm just going to list them

• Anvil now makes a sound when it breaks by falling
  
• Linux users can now play on Lan!
  
• If you join a server, then quickly leave it, then try to join any server it WON'T crash the game (before it did)
  
• Fixed the bold text taking too much room
  
• Now there are now random black spots in the world and other rendering errors.
