It seems pretty silly to go through all the work to make cool trapped chests, and then render them useless by having two separate textures. Everyone who plays survival will just make sure the two textures are different so they can tell them apart easily =( Maybe they'll change that in the next update or something.

This.
Imagine all the new texture packs that will be made that are default with altered trapped chests. Maybe Bukkit or someone will make a plugin to override trapped chests if that's even possible, like the anti-Xrays.

What's the point in that?
I see no point in disallowing trapped chests, but I do agree that they should have used the same texture and instead only the owner is able to differentiate between a normal and trapped chest.

I only recently read the patch notes, and I have mixed feelings. The downside is that it's no longer easy to just rush crops the moment you plant them, which means no insta-wheat when you need it. The plus side is that it won't feel like such a waste when you use it to finish those few crops that just aren't quite ready yet for a total farm harvest. If they increase the amount of bonemeal from bones to six, then I think it will be well-balanced.

I'm surprised no one here brought up this little gem, considering we may be using this a lot. It wasn't formally introduced by Mojang, but there is a new "smooth double slab" block that can only be spawned via item-spawning mods or by using the in-game commands. This is Block 43:9, a.k.a. the "Sandstone Smooth Double Slab Block"

Essentially it's very similar to Block 43:8 (The Stone Smooth Double Slab), where the top texture of the sandstone slab is copied to every side of the block. Noting that unlike 43:8 that the textures have no borders, I think we could use it for a variety of things that requires a smooth, whitewashed look, which is what lead me to build this in my 1.5 test world... (Note: It's not finished)
I don't know about your guys' thoughts, but I feel this might be a new go-to block for Ponyville houses.

yeah the server is likely to change MAJORLY, since theres not nether quartz cloudsdale could be getting a change, the double smooth sandstone for ponyville, and now a better lamp system for places like manehatten.

Almost forgot about that, We get our Pantheon blocks.

Uh... I don't use Love & Tolerance, so I wouldn't know about the texture for sandstone...
I'm sorry...
#218

Uh... I don't use Love & Tolerance
Anyway, I personally would really like to see an all-smooth sandstone option in L&T. It would provide a better option than sand.

Last week's snapshot came out yesterday because of that charity thing they were doing. Here's the current release schedule:
Anyway, we’re still in bug-fixing mode, but getting really close to a Minecraft Redstone Update release now! We intend to get a pre-release out by Thursday, and an official release out next week.

You're forgetting that that would occure on Custom adventure maps. The game will think the current player is the owner of the placed down trap chest, thus the random player can easily avoid any trap triggers. Which thus kills the fun on custom maps.
While on servers, the idea can still be mixed up for people who does custom adventure maps on personal server with friends.
If they're fixing liquids, maybe they'll fix the flowing of lava as well?
Would love that, though it would mean the game would have to bring back infinite Lava. Which would be over powered.
The whole Lava cook/smelts worth of 100(Or 1,000 I forgot which). Which will make Coal and Charcoal Worthless then.

If anyone's playing with the pre-release and would like to test out (and maybe provide feedback for) the new Love & Tolerance update, I've uploaded it in its current state here:
http://www.mediafire...baxkzwjfawstcgj
It's pretty much finished and everything that needs to be in there is in there!
(That version of the pack is not at all compatible with Minecraft 1.4.7 or below so don't even think about trying.)

Hazzat, the spiders are appearing white if you don't have mcpatcher installed. You need to fill the transparent space in spider_eyes.png with black. It's a blending issue.

They've got some new blocks but no new mobs. Personally I like how they added the Redstone Block and the Daylight Senser ![]()

I took it for a quick test drive.
You included portal.png but not portal.txt. You have to have neither or both for it to work.
On that note, it's awesome to be able to switch texture packs ingame. (Yes I know, I don't use mods.)

For instance, gold pressure plates can be fancy dinner plates, and those grey cauldron-like-ones-that-I-forgot-what-it-what-it-was-called can make a fancy sink, instead of using a bulky cauldron all the time.
Also, I'm especially excited about solar panels, partly for redstone, but mostly because I think solar panels
Can make good soda-can packs. They sure look like them to me. XD
god I'm so weird....

You could download the bronymodpack I think, or look at Hazzat's most recent post.
There's different tools to download online that will help downgrade for you.

Grabbing a copy of The Feed the Beast Launcher and using the BronyModPack will cause you to launch it using 1.4.7 it will stay this way until The BronyModPack and Brohoof are ready to update.

1.5 is live now! Same drill as usual, if you want to play on Brohoof don't update yet. If you do update by accident you can use MCVTool to get back to 1.4.7 and switch between the two versions at your leisure.
Wait, when I try to put this on my computer, it comes up with a little message basically saying "This type of file can harm your computer. Do you want to keep mclauncer.jar anyway?". Should I still try it? I'm not sure, because I don't want a virus on my computer : / - Amethyst Rosette

It's safe, but if you really don't want to, you can download it directly from assets.minecraft.net/1_4_7/minecraft.jar
Copy it into .minecraft/bin/

Just so you're aware, Windows will pop up this message for a LOT of perfectly safe programs. As long as the download link comes from someone you trust, it should be fine.
You're much more likely to get a virus from an infected Flash advert than downloading a program.

Bukkit has a 1.5 test build out, I have to say its looking really good. I want to time upgrading the server with the BronyModPack release, so it depends on when all the client mods we all use are all stable. It's possible we'll have it done Sunday, but that is only a prediction.

I'm just waiting for the BronyModPack to be ready to update, and that is a lot of work involving several people. Also, each day I wait means another bug fix in Bukkit and server mods anyway, so I'm not in a big hurry.
I wont predict when we'll update, but I will predict one thing, that someone will probably ask when the server will be updated within 10 posts of this.

1.5.1 pre-release just came out. They think they've fixed the performance issue and a bunch of other bugs.
Right now they're planning to release 1.5.1 on Thursday. Don't know how the timing of that will affect the updates of the BronyModPack and the server.

I was ready a week ago, but this time I got the bright idea of coordinating with Strongbad on doing it at the same time as the BronyModPack, but that proved to be a mistake. I will not be trying to do that again.
I shoot for updating on weekends, since I have lots of time to deal with the inevitable problems that don't get found on the test server. I planned to update yesterday, but no sign of any of the mod guys. I was ready a week ago, and here we are still not updated, and the window is gone.
So it will happen this coming weekend at the latest, or sooner if I want to risk the whole server being broken overnight while I sleep. I only get a few hours after work during the week, so while things might look good, a bug like "crashes when over 20 people join" might come up that won't surface until I'm either asleep or at work. So I'd always rather just do it on weekends, then I have all day to be there and slap on patches or implement workarounds to anything that is broken.
#270
Posted 26 March 2013 - 04:49 AM
Keep an eye on this to find out when the server will update. - This one might be it, though.
I honestly can't tell what that means. Then again I don't do anything complicated with Minecraft or any add-ons for it, so I don't even know what Bukkit is. So, in other words, when do you think/predict it will update, or what do the people working on Bukkit think about update time? Not even Love & Tolerance works on 1.5, except the cool text, which is much better than the blocky regular text.
