The first thing you'll realize when you open up Minecraft is that all of your saves
will need to be converted to the new format which is optimized; it should make
the game load a little faster because the chunks are larger.
We'll just fast forward through this. It takes a while,
takes a few minutes even for a couple megabytes of file.
This is what it looks like with the new lighting off; you can go into options
and turn it on, and you can see the shadows look a little bit nicer.
This is a bed - it only works at night. You can see you get a little message
if you try to use it during the day. But if you wait 'till night, and you go
into the bed, what you're going to realize is that the screen is going
to fade gracefully dark and you're going to go to sleep and wake
up the next morning, so it's great for skipping the night because it's not very useful.
And the way that you make a bed is with three pieces of wood and three
pieces of wool on top of those pieces of wood.
There are three new blocks in this update: wooden slabs, stone slabs, and
sandstone slabs, and you can make that just by taking three of each
respective block and putting them in a line.
And all three of them will work just like half steps, you know you can walk
up on top of them like that without having to jump. And you can make stairs out
of pretty much whatever material you want now and just walk up them like that.
To make a redstone repeater you need to smelt stone out of cobblestone.
I don't have any coal right now but that's really the best thing to use.
So when you have the three stone that you need, you're going to go over to
your bench and follow this recipe: you need to put three stone down on the
bottom, two torches torches on either side and then a bit of redstone in the
middle, and then grab that redstone repeater and I'll show you how to use it.
You can see that depending on what setting the repeater is on, it will
introduce a little delay into your circuit, and to change the setting
you just right-click it. You can see that it will introduce more or
less delay depending on how it's adjusted.
As you can see here, there are just a couple more other minor updates
including whitelisting to servers, to keep everyone out except your friends,
and you can have more than five save slots, and you can rename your saves now,
and a bunch of tiny little fixes and tweaks too.
