LINUXGAMES

Mojang and Notch have released version 1.3 (beta) of the spelunking simulator Minecraft, along with a new launcher:

• Implemented a new lighting engine with the help of MrMessiahs (can be turned off)
• Changed the options around, added a new “Graphics options” button
• Added beds. If all players in a map sleeps in a bed during night, the game immediately skips until morning
• Added three new half-size blocks
• Added Delay/Repeater redstone dust blocks
• Added whitelisting to the server. To use, enter “whitelist <cmd>” where cmd is “on”, “off”, “add <player>”, “remove <player>”, “list” or “reload”
• New save file format, old maps need to be converted (that might take a while..)
• It’s now possible to have more than five save slots, and to rename saves
• Scrollbars in both the texture pack list, and in the map selection screen
• Replaced the Mojang splash image to reflect the new logo colors
• .. and a bunch of bug fixes and tweaks!
