1.9 is now "leaked" (pre 4)

[Autom3]

message to Nineteengiraffes:

Fences now connect to other blocks

 

[AssaultCommand]

Why did they have to do that? I see why they would, but could they at least keep the fences placed the same as before 1.9?

here is another prerelease (in OP)

 

[YourMacManDan]

I like this idea of pre-releases!

I hope notch fixes the stronghold spawn. They're a nightmare to navigate when there's a bunch of caves and other random stuff spawning in them.

Pre 4 is up, edited post.

Is minecraft becoming a RPG?

Potions, experience and all that...

 

[RefinedCode]

I hate potions. I hate magic. I hate the new dimension.

I seriously hope there'll be an option to disable the giant mushrooms, the magic, the potions and maybe even endermen when you create a new world. I really really really hope it.

God you guys are worse than the complainers on minecraft forums. You don't need to use potions, enchantments or any of that, there is no reason for notch to include an option to turn this off. This is a beta game you are kidding your self lf if you thought it wouldn't change. Sorry to go on a rant but it needed to be said.

 

[RefinedCode]

I would honestly rather notch be doing other things than copying enchantments and such from like 90% of all games. This is a beta game i want it to change. Sorry to go on a rant but it had to be said.

Having played on my own 1.9 PRE 4 server, I thoroughly enjoy all of the new enhancements that Notch has added. At first i was rather skeptical of the potions (still am) and enchantments (I enjoy these very much), but I have grown used to them. Notch has intended this as an RPG from the beginning, the creative element has always been secondary for him right from the get-go.

I'm not complaining that he shouldn't add new stuff, just an option to disable the Giant mushroom biome and mooshrooms and other such additions would be nice...
Imagine you're trying to build a giant garden and you come across a mushroom biome. That part of the garden would have purple grass and odd colored trees... This is hypothetical, I'm not going to build a giant garden, but maybe someone else would want to do something big like that. The biome would ruin the place. I only want an option, to turn those things off.

Thats your fault for not noticing a giant biome before you start the build Get an airship and survey the land!

giant mushroom biomes are only islands as far as if seen, so you wont just come across it by walking. They are also exceedingly rare, so the chances of you actually finding one within 4000 blocks of spawn are virtually nil.
