Laugh at the Minecraft 1.2 Features Released Today

Minecraft gets an official update with jungles, cats and ... iron golems!?!

After its official release at The 1.2 patch for Minecraft was tested for a month [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/112918-Attend-MineCon-Get-Alpha-Access-to-Scrolls-Cobalt], but the official servers all now support the new jungle biome, ocelots that can be tamed like wolves, cute little kitties, an increased ceiling of 256 blocks, and monstrous iron golems to defend your castle or compound. In true indie-style, the Mojang team released a hilarious video to show off the new features and tell the story of a zombie attack.

New jungle biome
Added ocelots
Added cats

Villagers will have children if there is room in their village
New map height limit (256 instead of 128)
New items and blocks
Added rare drops for mobs
Added 3 new blocks textures, that aren't yet used in the game(1 is accessable in creative, it looks like stone brick)
You can place Slabs and Stairs upside-down by placing them on the ceiling
Many other minor tweaks and fixes
Placing blocks on Wild Grass will replace them
Cave Noise works in Multiplayer

F3 has some changes and additions:
b: Shows what biome you are in
lc:
bl: Block brightness
sl: Sky brightness
rl: Raw brightness
It doesn't show the seed in SMP (due to popular demand) anymore

Lava now has a faint rumbling sound effect, and large particles that hop out of the lava produce a popping noise.

Bug Fixes :
Doors have been updated so that double-doors work better with redstone



Mojang released a quick fix 1.2.2 to address big trees not spawning in some areas. Man, those guys are quick ...

Still puzzles me why Kitties scare off Creepers, but kinda neat with the iron golems protecting the villagers.

This is pretty cool. What are those lamp thingies the characters were turning on right at the beginning, something to replace the torch?
redstone lamps http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Redstone_Lamp

Can zombies really bust through doors now, or was that just for the movie?
Only on Hard and Hardcore, otherwise they just beat on your door.

They'll break through wooden doors during the night, but it takes some time.

S.Weeeeet! I now no longer need texture packs for proper lamps!
And I've been saying for months they needed to put reversed stairs and slabs in. Cannot wait to get my teeth into this!

You could give some credit to the makers of the video as well. It wasn't exactly "Mojang Team" who made the trailer. It was Hatfilms, which makes their trailers.

Mojang didn't make the video. Instead the Team HatFilms dude (Haatfilms, they used to be, which is their own Channel name). They've made all the Minecraft trailers because they're friends with the team.

But yeah, it looks good. Jen seems like a coding God compared to Notch.
