Trust me, if the forum had a like button or a rep system I would be giving you positive rep/thank you/whatever.

Well I guess I could just say... Thanks for the updates =D

Interesting. I'll have to check it out later. Also, there's apparently now glass pillars above strongholds that Jeb accidentally left in from testing.

[vallorn]

yes the debug pillars are in the post...

[Sti_Jo_Lew]

Oops. Didn't even see that. Derp.

[Aenir_bEPU]

Notch is making dragons and linked a picture.
Models stuff for dragons
Texture stuff for dragons
The picture!
Sorry vall, but dragons can not wait!

[derigin]

So there now appears to be an Ender World.

Lord, get cracking on that new CUT HQ.

[Vanguard]

So... apparently now there are dragons, an Ender dimension, and Ender Dragons. Yeah...

*whimper*

[Lord_Mountbatten]

Lord, get cracking on that new CUT HQ.

Now that would be an interesting one to attempt. This time, the void.

[vallorn]

BANG! update!

I'm curious how enchantments will affect the server economy. I can certainly see potions/ingredients being traded frequently.

[Furdabip]

I'm curious how enchantments will affect the server economy. I can certainly see potions/ingredients being traded frequently.

I'm already not looking forward to assessing and adding all these items to the trade calc... -_-

[Sti_Jo_Lew]

Yeah, enchantment sounds like it will be loads of fun, although I do hope the make arrows enchantable. Also...

Dat toilet!

[aflycon]

THIS IS THE END
BEAUTIFUL FRIEND
THIS IS THE END
MY ONLY FRIEND, THE END

So.. cool..

Edit: Notch further trolled Bethesda by adding "The Elder Scrolls" as one of the enchantments in the enchanting table (of course, in Standard Galactic).

[Sti_Jo_Lew]

Aha! That's great. He's gonna get sued like crazy though.

[Milo_Windby]

Dragons have been something that notch has been wanting to add for a long while now... if you ever read the Upcoming features on the MCWiki (And I did way before Skyrim was even announced) then you would have seen he had this planned for a long time.

(Dragons - Notch hinted during the Spider-Jockey update that he will add Dragons to the game.
Spider Jockey was added in Alpha 1.0.17 which was back in August 20, 2010)

[sag185]

This is damn brilliant

[aflycon]

Aha! That's great. He's gonna get sued like crazy though.

From what I've read, their case is still a sitting duck. Neither side wants to make a move in fear of the other retaliating too strongly.

[Sti_Jo_Lew]

Should have gone with the Quake 3 solution.
