Swimming Bird – Minecraft News: 1.7 Cliffs, Sunflowers, Biomes, PVP Changes, Tall Grass, & More Plants!

Broadcasting from our new new studio with state of the art piranha plant protection to your computer or mobile device this is minecraft news Hello and welcome to minecraft news bringing you the most news for your views i’m adam aka swimming bird filling in for your mama sofit and here is the news today a bit of bad news to start off our field reporters we’re going to report live from the snapshots but there

Isn’t one this week jeb tweeted this the new biomes are not ready for release yet not even snapshotting so we can’t bring you a live report but we will have one in the future when snapshots are released now jeb did tweet this picture and he captioned it go home jungle

Temple you’re drunk when he was flying around maybe looking at the jungles for some type of change in 1.7 who knows now for some more concrete 1.7 changes dinnerbone tweeted this picture saying map makers are going to be very spoiled in 1.7 this is the result of hitting tab

To complete the add objective command so now you can do a ton of scoreboard commands using different items that can test if you have an item or you’ve used a certain item all that stuff so there’s going to be a ton new things for map makers to use and make some unique games

With them hopefully now jeb did tweet another picture with actual new terrain generation he said someone asked if there will be cliffs so here is today’s minecraft snapshot and it is indeed a picture of cliffs hopefully these will be at the border it looks like there’s some snow up there

Maybe at some snowy biomes or maybe we’ll get a whole new biome that’s based around the cliffs but it looks to be at the edge of some type of taiga and maybe extreme hills it’s a nice combination there so more to come on that now dinnerbone tweeted one of the new

Dev tools i wrote recently allows us to see this complete list of every possible crash in vanilla minecraft now if you look at this crash list here there are over a thousand pages of crashes so that’s a lot of stuff that still needs to be fixed but if you think about how

Many bugs they’ve already fixed it’s pretty impressive as well now evil seth aka grumm another developer said unfortunately the protection enchantment no longer reduces hunger damage that was a silly bug so if you had protection armor on it was actually reducing the amount of damage you would take when you were being hurt

By hunger so he fixed that but he also said to make up for that bad news durability no longer decreases from unsuccessful attacks so this should thrill basically anyone playing the game mostly pvp ears because if you missed a sword swing you were losing durability before but that has been fixed uh

Dinnerbone also tweeted he’s almost done making statistics and achievements per world server they’re getting some love this update so we should hopefully be able to see when you ride off a cliff with a pig that sort of thing per world so you can keep track of that type of stuff as you

Play now here’s some exciting news from jeb just today here’s a new way to tell north from south and east from west in future minecraft and he said too bad these don’t protect from zombies it’s the new sunflower and jeb also cleared this up you can stop speculating now

Grown sunflowers typically face east check wikipedia or ask dinnerbone who pointed this out to me so sunflowers in minecraft are going to face east so it’s an easy way to check your direction they might drop sunflower seeds who knows and this next picture is kind of hinting

Towards that it seems like this is a huge hint at a bunch of different features and i’ll try to go through them here this was instagram by jeb now you can see the sunflowers on the left there but they’re being occluded a little bit by what looks to be two tall grass so

We’re going to get two block tall tall grass to expand upon the tall grass we already have it looks like and then on the right there jeb has not identified what this flower is it possibly flax maybe lavender bluebells are a bit smaller but it could

Be that maybe the bit taller i think it’s probably either flax or lavender they look very close there could mean we get a new way to get certain dyes or maybe flaxseed for different things and i mentioned before the sunflowers might drop seeds we don’t know about that no

Information so far but if we’re getting sunflower seeds maybe we’ll get flax seeds maybe this is going to be a huge seed update along with the biomes a little bit of a weird pun there for minecraft usually not thinking of that type of seed anyways thank you guys for watching

Lots of news though no snapshot hopefully we’ll get one next week once 1.7 is stable enough to have a snapshot but again thank you for watching leave a like if you enjoyed this and i will see you next time for more minecraft news goodbye [Applause] You
