1.1 Update

[Koonation]

What does everyone think about the new bow enchantments?

Also now dispensers that are behind lava that shoot arrows can now set mobs on fire ;)

[Katalliaan]

I have yet to mess with 1.1 (not bothering until BTW's updated), but here's my opinions based on the info on the wiki's version history page:
-Bow/arrow changes - enchants should've been added with the rest of them, flaming arrows should have lit their targets on fire a long time ago
-Apple changes - nice to see a way to find apples that doesn't involve constant hunting of dungeons, golden apple recipe change makes them more accessible
-Localizations - doesn't affect me since I'm a native English speaker, but it's nice to see (with the exception of "fictional ones such as Pirate")
-Biome changes - will be nice to have proper beaches and also to not see a hard line between a swamp biome and any other biome.
-Brewing time reduction - Not sure how long it takes in 1.0, so hard to say
-Spawn eggs, superflat worlds - good for testing
-Ladder collision box change - change because someone complained, will break some setups (like minecart pez dispensers)
-Wool regrowth - should have been in with persistent animals
-Walking on crops doesn't trample them - will be nice to not need to sneak over your fields, but doesn't affect you once you get it automated

From my perspective it will be interesting to see weather Buildcraft Goes bata 3.X or just updates 2.X to minecraft 1.1 . the flow on affects being the ability to use blue prints on BTW blocks in BTB.
I cant see me using this till BTW is updated and don't really see anything in the change log that make me want it yet.( I might use it to make a flat map for testing thought.)

Don't know if the performance boost from the dev. snapshots, that was mentioned
in the minecraft wiki version history, has made it into this version.
But when I tested it just now, there where constantly about 90 chunk updates
even when standing still.
Even the frame rate not as fast as I had hoped, it is a bit jumpy to say the least.
On the other hand the now snow covered tundra looks really awesome, compared
to how it was before in 1.0.
The super flat landscape is just about 3 blocks above bedrock.

I think this sums up the 1.1 update quite nicely :)

Get used to them, they are the official update video makers for Mojang.

Did 1.1 add any new blocks/items? If not I wouldn't even bother updating just to look at the new world gen (the only interesting feature besides wool re-gen) until BTB updates.

I'd rather put rusty nails through my eye-lids than listen to the worst British accents I've ever heard, not to mention how obnoxiously loud and fast they talk.

Well apples are actually farmable now since they now drop occasionally from leaves, but it's not really a new item, so the only one would be creative mode mob spawning eggs then.

The change to farmland trampling and pumpkins/melons not requiring farmland makes farming much easier.

Known changes in 1.1.

Worse than the Yogheads?

This is why i hate the time zone i'm in..

I KNOW RIGHT!?! ;)

The yogscast doesn't use fake British accents, they're actually British...

Ah, I see what you mean now. Although I'm fairly sure that the HAT guys are British, but just play it up.

I'll have to find some (other) videos of the new content, as my usual interest with new releases are the biome changes as they alter the visual variety of the world, so revitalise it for a time and give more reason to explore.

Wait, I'm confused. HAT films and GameChap and Bertie are not the same people, are they? Did they suddenly buy bad microphones and fake a cockney accent?

Sums up my exact thoughts as well. Someone posted a video of them one time... Got through ten seconds, then instantly shut off the video. Hell, if that were in a You Rage, You Lose thread, I'd sure as hell lose.

Pretty sure that's Hat Films (the guys who made the video on the TeamMojang channel) aren't the same as GameChap and Bertie.

will break some setups (like minecart pez dispensers)

I like this change, myself. A lot of time I fall to my death because I accidentally hit the wall before the ladder. Pez dispensers can be fixed with trapdoors I think.

[Yamboyz1]

Oh, shit! This'll break Pyropuncher's Minecart elevator contraption! D:

[Flesh_Engine]

So euh; how do you get the Bow of Infinity since it's a level 51 enchantment?

Add in item enchantabilty value.

Holly shit, they are so annoying to listen ...
My ears are bleeding.
And I can't understand half of what they're saying ...

They're not THAT bad. The accents can be a bit annoying, but once you get past that...

They're quite diligent about making videos with minecraft updates, and they showcase a lot of mods, especially small-time ones that nobody with a similar subscriber base would be likely to touch.

What's really sad is the first time I saw one of their videos, my only thought was that they were cheap Yogscast knockoffs who decided to rip off their most annoying attributes and turned the video off.

Yep HAT films are the official video maker, not those guys. And please don't post anymore videos of them, it's horrible -.- (and yes WAY more than the yogscast).
