MNC said:Awesome, it's out already. So... Since Notch's image is a bit vague, what HAS been added to SMP?
Have monsters been added officially?
Does water work?
Do biomes work?
Does hell work?
Edit: In short, where can I read about the multiplayer fixes
Notch did say he fixed a bunch of multiplayer bugs though. Biomes work. Hell does not unless the server is running a hell-only world.
Those having problems should be a bit more specific. Old or new world? What kind of biome you're in, etc.
I've played three days of my new world and mobs seems to be the same as always. Then again, I'm on the top of a snow mountain. It's not all snow though, there're small valleys here and there.
It's not helping saying your game is acting wrong when we don't know if your old world can be corrupted because the update or something like that.

I haven't had any problems with crashing in the update. My rig's pretty good, but I was having trouble when I first bought it since I had draw distance set to the max. It's possible that biomes, or something else, have caused the game to demand even more, and if you're crashing, maybe you can try lowering it to the next setting?
F2 while maintaining F1 takes screenshot now, or was it always there ?
Also, what if the mobs everywhere in the caves is not a bug but a feature ? This combined with the music totally gave me a Halloween vibe. Went down to my cave, there were like 10 creepers in my basement at bedrock level: I rushed back up and close the door behind me :lol

Well, doors are fixed according to him. That's pretty much everything I found out. You can also can loot chests in dungeons now, not sure if that was possible before.MNC said:I kind of not wanted that image..
Some comments on the new features/changes.
- Items vanishing when you die (it was already mentioned). I thought I wouldn't care that much, until a creeper appeared and made me explode with many of my things. Nothing of great value, but it shpuld be there!
- Leaves don't fall no matter what. Tree leaves now don't disappear alone. This is not nice, I hope it gets fixed.
- Snow goes to never return. I don't like it. Snow is placed for the first time you roll your world, but once you make it go, it never comes back/spreads. I'm not very fond of this.
- I think creepers spawn a lot more. My house is high in a mountain and I can see abroad. And I see a lot of creepers. I think it's a double edged swrod, as they can fuck you easily, but on the other hand, it's more powder you have access to.
- Coal seems to be A LOT more common.
- Sunrise/dawn look great.
- New melodies are welcome. Not a big addition though.
- Can't comment on The Nether, as I haven't found a natural portal and building one is right now out of reach.
- Thinking about it, I think spawn rates has got increased in general. There are a lot of friendly mobs in my world. It's a bit odd, and I think Notch will be working on this. But it's a bit strange seeing pigs in a snowy place.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with the update.

Does anyone knows if the inventory is fixed in the multiplayer now?
I wanted autumn leaves back, so I made some custom grass/foliage colors. I haven't tested them extensively, so I don't know exactly how all the shades look ingame, but I like what I've seen so far. The sides of grass blocks will clash a little though (they kinda do with some default colors anyway.)
These don't replace your grass and leaf textures, just the colors they use, so it might even work with some texture packs.

Also here's a fully transparent image to replace the screen effect when wearing a pumpkin mask, so your vision won't be affected. Considering it has no armor I didn't really see a point in having it give even more disadvantage to wearing it.

All three go in the misc folder within minecraft.jar
Thank god. Even while being super-careful, you have no idea how many times I've nearly died (thanks lava setting me on fire through stone while I'm trying to transport everything in my chest from the bottom of my mineshaft back to my main base -- thank god for the endless pool of water I had put nearby to make obsidian with).

That death bug fix is welcome. Now, all he has to do is fix the monsters spawning in light, and we're golden.
Toma said:Yup. This is correct:
It also works without the corners. Can save four obsidian blocks that way.
I didn't have much time to play with the update yet. But last night I backed up my world save and made a portal to see what
I did not have the same problem everyone else is reporting with the portals though. When I came back through the portal to the real world, I exited through the same one I created.

I'm kinda missing my texture packs...
He tweaked the mob spawn rates, but did he do that globally for all difficulty settings or did things change there as well? I mean, is easy still the setting with the most enemies but they're doing less damage or what?

You have to have moving water come into contact with still (source) lava.

In case it hasn't been confirmed, that update did fix the disappearing stuff bug. I suicided with some dirt to check it out. It works properly,
