Minecraft 1.7.2 Update Discussion
Posted: Tue Oct 29, 2013 4:12 am
For those whom need a reference point, here is the Changelog.
Seems like a lot of pretty and a big pile of shit. Apparently, revamping the seldom-used fishing system was a top priority this update instead of something actually interesting.
We can also now see when other players gain a worthless achievement in a server, which the achievements only really made sense if you were playing by yourself anyways.
A bunch of stuff added to the server listings that should have been there in the first place, like actually being able to see whom is online, for once.
Apparently they did an overhaul on Network and Sound management code. Sounds, I hope, are less shit and skip less at low framerates (which are usually caused by memory leaks anyways).
-Removed Herobrine
HUR DURR HEROBRINE SO SCARY
Differently Shaped Nether Portals
Even more guesswork as to where your portal will appear, because now it can be shaped like an asshole instead of a door.
Like I said, sounds like a big pile of shit.
Discuss.
Code: Select all
