Well, it's finally here. New features include pistons, shears, stackable fences, and more.

Other confirmed features to come in the near future are NPC villages, at least one new mob, and some interesting complex terrain features.

He removed herobrine again? Well, I guess hes not a very good programer is he couldnt get rid of him the first time....

haha my thoughts exactly.

I'm a bit confused... I thought herobrine was just a funny "myth"?

Glad to have the pistons... can't wait for them to have more features / become more refined.

Now to wait for the server update! I don't mine too much, at least we won't be bothered by unloyal freaks for a while.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMFG!

... Wait!?!

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMFG!

... Sheers to get wool from sheep? Time to start punching them till D-Day.

awesome! thanks. I'm playing the single player version right now and it's pretty crazy. There's new grasses, RAIN! and for those worried about not getting wool without sheers you can just kill the sheep and you get 1 piece. Not fast in collecting but it's still something if you're desperate.

Rain has been in minecraft since 1.5, we just have it disabled on the server.

It's pretty sweet that you can now collect leaves.
