You should still see the new biomes, depending on how far you have explored. They should generate in any as-yet unexplored areas. I've seen most of them now apart from Mesa, which seems the most interesting!

Oh. So as long as you haven't visited an area, it will still load as if it was a new world?

Exactly, the "old" biomes you already explored will remain intact and the same but as new chunks load when you explore places you haven't been before, there's every chance of it creating one of the new biomes, or the "technical" transitionary ones. I have the same world I created last year and I've found a few new biomes including dark forest (or whatever it's called), savannah and ice spikes.

On another note, I had a bit of a scare last night when I created a portal near a fortress in the nether, came out about 1400 blocks away from home and used the compass to make my way towards home (actually to see if I could make some sort of road but it didn't help that the portal rezzed in a cavern under a big jungle). I then got to what should have been my original spawn point ie. the compass turned through 360 degrees as I walked around it, but it wasn't my spawn point, as I have this clearly marked out with a beacon of sorts. I then saw my original home in the distance (which had been near the spawn point) but when I got there, beyond it the chunks didn't load, for what seemed to be several hundred blocks at least, running North-South.

When I went into my old house there was just an edge then nothing, which I didn't dare try to walk off. This was also the direction of my current house, which is a few hundred blocks away, so I freaked a little thinking I might have lost it all. On top of that, I went outside and the sun came up but all the hostile mobs from the night remained frozen in position and I could walk through them, but for a few, who oddly only attacked me if I hit them (eg. a zombie trying to get through the door into my house but ignoring me)

Anyway I quit and reloaded and all was well, but if there is any game where you don't want to lose everything, and where it seems painfully easy to do so, it's this one :)
 
360 Version

I got my friend hooked on this game over the weekend. He played for 14 hours straight on Saturday and about 10 hours straight on Sunday. I played most of the time with him but had a few breaks here and there. We had such a great time. Its always so fun playing with someone new to this game. :)
 
PS3 version is in testing or got sent to testing yesterday/today. While the PS4/Vita and TU14 for xbox is on hold for now.

Grew my very first watermelon last night. And in an ice level! Took a couple hours of experimenting with water, dirt, and torches to melt the ice, but I got it to work! First time I have ever seen a watermelon in this game. :D

Are you near spawn?

It's vanilla so nothing should be protected apart from spawn.

Strange, I joined a second time and it still didn't work. Waited about 5 minutes and everything was fine.

Solved itself.



EDIT: I really need optifine...

So @Eks says he cannot connect to the server. Everything looks fine on my end. Is anyone else having trouble connecting?

If it helps to know, here is what I'm getting specifically:

Looks like a problem on your end rather than the server.

Are you using a modded client?


If not, try the fix below.
*FIX* go to main menu go to options go to video options set render distants to 2 chunks put FPS on unlimeted ENJOIY ;D

I got 3 more people hooked on this game. So I have been very busy lately with this game. Last night I also started creating an entire jungle area using Birch trees instead of Jungle trees. :)
 
I got on fine earlier today. Now I'm getting "Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.timeout.ReadTimeoutException" Any ideas?

The server might have crashed. Try now.

*edit*
Updated to be more stable.

Check out the maps guys. http://mail.torinet.eu:8123/#

Anyone fancy claiming a city?!

*edit2*
I've created a thread on the forum with a bit more detail: http://torinet.enjin.com/forum/m/14415968/viewthread/9798523-minecraft-172

*edit3*
I now have an electrical problem in the kitchen. The server will be down for a few days. :grumpy:

*edit4*
Up again thanks to an extension cable!
Not that anyone noticed :(

I'm hopeful to get a tablet PC for Christmas or some other time soon. As much as I've played MCPE on my Android device, I've stopped playing MCPE on that device since I'm wanting to play this game on a more powerful and more practical device. So I haven't played Minecraft Pocket Edition lately. MCPE has reportedly reached Version 0.8.0 with an abundant number of updates. Too many to name, but among the highlights of the latest MCPE additions are minecarts (yay!), rails, breeding of mobs, and more. I haven't sampled any of the new changes as of yet. More info on the 0.8.0 changes: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Pocket_Edition_version_history#A0.8.0

With Minecraft coming to the PS3 (and even the PS4), I have heard/read very little, if anything, regarding the PS3 version.

Ps3 version will be the same as the current xbox version of TU13 (And all current DLC) Skin packs will be available after release.

Edit: PS3 Edition has just been announced for Release on Wednesday (EU) or Tuesday afternoon for the US. Will cost the same as the other console.

This is odd.

I was messing around with TNT on the PS3 version at the very limits of the map. The TNT actually blew up some blocks OUTSIDE the boundaries and I can't place blocks to fix em. No big deal just a minor bug.

Although I have minecraft on PC, I enjoy the comfort that comes with the PS3 version.

That is a known bug for the pc version too. While it's even harder to do it, it's possible to destroy blocks outside of the boundaries.

Edit: Well I played a bit of the demo version of Minecraft PS3 and well I do enjoy it and was hoping to buy it today, however I didn't get my psn card :(

I've recently made the jump to playing Minecraft on the PC. And I've a couple questions about the
spawn points.

Is the spawn point the same for everyone? Or is that something that would have to be set?

I'm running the latest version 1.7.4, and I've had two different worlds with spawn points that are
underwater. Is this normal for Minecraft PC?

Spawn point should be the same for everyone, although can change very small from person to person though.

Spawning underwater isn't normal but it does happen now when they changed so you don't "always" spawn on a sand block/Beach/Desert.
 
after playing a bit of PS3 minecraft, the maps are sure small. But I guess thats what you get for a small thing.
 
I started playing "Minecraft Pocket Edition" again. This time, on my new tablet PC. I still haven't played around with every last feature of MCPE, but I am certainly very pleased seeing the inclusion of rails and minecarts. I almost want to go back to the other MCPE worlds I saved and put those onto my tablet PC and give my Creative worlds some new life. I am fairly certain the new minecarts will allow for faster and more fun transport across my worlds. It would almost sort of be like a SimCity experience in building a solid network of rails to easily go around parts of the Minecraft world.

Earlier tonight, I downloaded the demo to the Minecraft PS3 Edition. Controls seem very intuitive. I even heard my personal favorite Minecraft song- "Sweden" (or calm3). I do sort of see myself utilizing the whole playing field with the full version. I even noticed on the Minecraft Wiki the entry featuring the PS3 version, describing it as a (indirect quote) "near direct clone of the XBOX 360 version." I do have money to get the game on PSN, but I'm a few US Dollars short of its $19.99 USD price. I also noted this game has Trophies. This surely will keep me busy. So if the PS3 version is identical or nearly identical to the XBOX 360 version, I'll have to see some YouTube videos to see what is possible with this version for the PS3.
