It has trouble running well on intel cards (including on my Eee, unfortunately), and there’s some strange crash bug on some versions of opera, but it’s relatively stable now
这是发布当天，马库斯在博客写下的一句话，这句话意思是，它在intel（因特尔）的芯片上运行还有困难（包括我的Eee，真不幸），并且，在某些预览版还存在奇怪的崩溃BUG，但是他现在相对稳定了

Multiplayer: released!
It’s probably riddled with bugs still, but （链接已失效，我隐藏了）

+ Dungeon Mode. Like Survival, except you can’t destroy walls or craft items.
+ Programmable Tiles. Pressure plates, levers, doors.
+ More mobs.
+ More usable items. (Potions? Teleporter stones? Keys?)
+ Official public level file format
+ Play on either player generated levels or randomly generated levels
+ 100% free for anyone who has bought the game!

Under options, there now is a difficulty setting. Later on, this will be set per level instead of globally do discourage just changing the difficulty when stuff gets hard, but I figured people have saves now they want to keep playing on. =)
In “peaceful” mode, there are no monsters, and health slowly regenerates over time.

I also tried to improve the framerate a bit. I hope it helps.

I really need to look into some super fast occlusion culling method. The ones I have tried have either stalled the opengl pipeline too much, or been more expensive than just rendering it in the first place.

Another improvement I need to do is separate the rendering from the game logic more. Right now it’s all single threaded, which means that when a game tick happens, the current frame takes much longer to render. This causes the game to run jerky on computers where the logic takes a long time.


And the plan for the weekend is:

I’ll be gone the rest of the night.
I’ll work in Minecraft tomorrow and most of sunday. I’ll focus on adding new features from the TODO. There’s a lot to be done with crafting, but I consider the basics to be in place. For example, there will be more crafting structures, like forges and anvils and whatnot.

Minecraft Beta

I just updated the client and the server to Minecraft Beta 1.0

* Working server-side inventory! Finally! (And as a result of that, a whole pile of bugs and issues got fixed)
* Made SMP servers save chunks way less often in most cases. Chunks don’t resave if they got saved in the last 30 seconds
* Moving too far away from a container, or having it blow up, closes the inventory screen
* Fixed /kill
* Introduced leaf decay again. It acts differently from before
* You can now throw eggs
* On a whim, added super exclusive clan cloaks for Mojang Employees
* .. and something else, which is even more rare
