I found 134 iron in one cave. I think Notch planned on using it for torches lanterns after all.

Oh man, my new world has so many beautifully sculpted valleys and hills that I've begun keeping an actual physical pencil-and-paper map.

Uhg. I don't know how many of you are venturing into the Nether heavily at all, but there are some annoying things. For some reason my nether gates have a tendency to go out so that I can't get out of the nether. I was on my way back with 20+ gold dust and there was no active portal, so I just ended up dying.

Yeah, ghasts' bombs will knock those out. Honestly, I spent too much time dying in the Nether before realizing there is nothing to do there at this point. Instead, I'm out checking out the biomes and running away from packs of creepers.
Life is better in the sun...

When you die in the nether you lose all of your stuff. I don't feel like making another flint and steel every time I die :\
I've been bringing like stone picks and that's in with me.

Man my smp server is an absolute mess with the update. Hell zones are appearing randomly throughout the map.

Really? I didn't die in the regular world. Must be a bug. Either way it's a real pain.

that sounds awesome, Find any ghast? :lol :lol
Still havent gone to the nether myself as im too afraid to atm, dont want to lose my stuff.
Oh God, I am seriously uncomfortable with the noises the Ghasts make. I'm cowering in a trench in the Nether now and all I can hear are them making their weird little noises and screaming blue murder whenever one gets set on fire.
I killed one and it didn't drop anything, but maybe I was too far away to see it? Another one killed me straight away anyway.

Yea you have to be pretty close to items to actually see them in the world. I think its like 10-15 blocks or less range to actually see a dropped item from anything.
So I rolled my new world and haven't found any of the glitches described here. Spawning enemies seem to work just as always. Well, maybe there're more creeper spawning, but I vividly remember a lot of creepers in my first games, like two months ago. So maybe it's that I used to my secure fortress and forgot how annoying these can be.
My first night I spent inside my hut, on the top of a big snow mountain. Midnight I made a hole on the roof and hopped over and put some torches. Saw some mobs here and there as the night rolled by, eventually some came by and got killed by my fancy wood sword. A new day began and I saw a creeper abroad. Didn't care about him. Then fell off a cliff and died. I did some things before second night. Tried the same thing, but a nasty skeleton came by and forced me to enter my hut. Next day morning he was gone.
One thing I've noticed is that I'm really feeling bad about mining. It never happened to me before. But this new world seems to have some life and I feel bad about corrupting its natura beauty. Then, I feel the urge to go abroad, exploring, but at the same time, I want to be safe.
It's like old Minecraft, but just improved. I'm loving it!

Having some weird issues with minecraft wanting to load and java continually crashing. Had no problems earlier today until i explored some new areas.
Edit: Minecraft wont even start now. Goes straight to a java crash.

Can someone pleeease confirm or deny whether this is safe?
Just tried this for a while.. But since ice melts VERY fast at 1 block distance and a bit slower at 2 blocks distance, I fear that 3 Blocks might also melt, but slooooowly.

So do biomes only work if you create a new world?

i wonder this as well. I explored for awhile and nothing has changed. Now my minecraft wont even work.
I think the safest thing for now is to make SURE you create a zip of your world save (doing this regularly is a good idea anyway, especially if you have a lot of work, and you don't have the windows 7 folder rollback feature), before you start/update/load your world in the new Minecraft. It's unfortunate, but it might save you from losing stuff. :/
And yeah, I'm guessing new worlds work better than old ones, but I think I saw someone say they still saw daylight monsters in a new world. I haven't had any indoor monsters yet in a fresh world but that could change.
lanterns are in.

I think the safest bet is a new world.
I loaded up some old worlds... temperate world, the grass colors varied a bit, then when I wandered to new areas, I found some snow and such.
Snow world, I wandered a bit, there was still snow everywhere but it wasn't snowing, but when I got to what used to be the edge of my world, I had a line where the mountains were sliced clean through and the ice changed to water. It was very blatant, and not very nice to look at at all.
Made a new world, and I'm loving it, spawn is in a forest area, tons of trees, but it's mountainous too. Building my base on a nearby island.
I've had the client shut down on me once without warning, but I only lost like 5 seconds of progress because I frequently hit escape to pause.

I didn't explore all that much of my world, but with the new release I went exploring and didn't really run into anything.

Alright i explored alittle more and ive found snow biomes! so they are there just alittle bit out from your already explored areas.
Ive fixed my minecraft problems as well. Had to shut down java from task manager as it was memory leaking or something(fully updated)
Currently digging straight up in Hell. Will let you know what I find.
Digging DOWN in hell revealed a huuuuuge open cave, with a floor of 100% lava. Only had to dig down about ~10 blocks.
Edit: Hit adminium at the top of Hell. Anti-climactic, although IDK what I expected.

Alright, so I have begun to hollow out "Awesome Hill", which lies in the "Awesome Valley". Awesome Hill is huge, and will have a labyrinth of tunnels and balconies by the time I'm done. To the northwest is my spawn, near "The Marsh Flats" and some seaside, while the northeast lies the "Wildelande", a huge forest I'm planning to explore. The awesome hills continue to the south,or the "South Awesome Hills" if you will, but I haven't checked them out much yet.
Yeah, Biomes rock.

After some exploring I found some biomes. Particularly a desert one. For some odd reason, when I use cartograph to map my world now, it just shows a big sand area where my pre 1.2 map was. It's weird.

Ahh I see that the minor update didn't seem to fix the disappearing bug thing. I started a new world and had pretty much my entire current supply of iron tools (really, my entire supply of iron which I used to make them, too) on me. Also lost some buckets I was going to use to set up an endless water supply near the lava lake I found so I could start building portals ASAP.
Anyway, hell zones appearing randomly? Sounds freaky. I think it would be kind of cool if the Slip started spilling out into the real world if you left a portal open for too long. Like those ever-burning blocks started spreading out from where your portal is and lava pools start forming. Of course, Notch would have to let Ghasts, or at least Zombie Pigmen, come out through the portal as well, or that would make farming basic Slip material far too easy.
