Minecraft beta 1.5 video preview: Weather, stats and achievements - Games

[media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=qy882ILYJMM[/media] I think this is gonna be the best update we've had in ages. [editline]-[/editline] [code][img_thumb]http://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/13/24/44/18/yep10.png[/img_thumb] Shit's out, here's the update log: Minecraft Beta 1.5 (You will need to update your servers as well) * Weather (rain, snow, thunder) * Statistics * Achievements * Detector rail * Booster rail * Performance improvements More statistics and achievements will be added over time as we develop the game. They’re only stored locally at the moment, but we’ll slowly be rolling out online storing of achievements over time. [/code]

Oh my god. Finally snow and ice will regenerate back! Achievements looks nice too, the way you unlock achievements progressively. I guess it could work as a tutorial for new players, as it would give them challenges while they progressed in the game. Statistics is as you would expect it honestly.

Yay, Rain!

The snow is way too slow.

Ahem. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs[/media]

[QUOTE=Silikone;29058667]The snow is way too slow.[/QUOTE] And it should go sideways like in a really heavy snowstorm.

Also too much snow IMO

As I said in the main thread, the lack of thunder acompanying all of that lightning bugs me.

Like make three different types of weather. Calm snow/rain Medium-Calm snow-rain Heavy rain/snow that goes sorta sideways like in a blizzard and with a thick mist around the player.

[QUOTE=Glent;29058896]As I said in the main thread, the lack of thunder acompanying all of that lightning bugs me.[/QUOTE] i think it just doesn't have a sound yet

[QUOTE=noobcake;29058945]i think it just doesn't have a sound yet[/QUOTE] In general the game needs more/better sounds. Like wind blazing past you when standing outside and it's raining/snowing. [editline]8th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;29058976]I sure as fuck hope rain and snow are rare[/QUOTE] And don't last 2 minutes.

Oh man, I've wanted real rain since I first played Minecraft.

The achievement tree thingy looks nice.

cool now i will be able to play singleplayer again and become a dwarf with a herd of wolves

Didn't Notch say somewhere the achievements weren't just going to be "herp derp you STARTED THE GAME :downsbravo:" anyways rain looks cool

[QUOTE=IdiotStorm;29059271]Didn't Notch say somewhere the achievements weren't just going to be "herp derp you STARTED THE GAME :downsbravo:" anyways rain looks cool[/QUOTE] No, I think he said they weren't going to be "Kill x amount of y animal" or "Collect x of y material".

I hope weather is localized, and isn't just a global thing that happens on an entire map.

[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;29059313]I hope weather is localized, and isn't just a global thing that happens on an entire map.[/QUOTE] No, Having it rain only at a certain place would suck dicks. Different types of weather should only occur on certain biomes.

Still no screen for choosing servers? Or a friends list? Come on, notch!

[QUOTE=Djessey;29059349]No, Having it rain only at a certain place would suck dicks. Different types of weather should only occur on certain biomes.[/QUOTE] He means, he doesn't want it to rain everywhere, if it's raining in one area. Not weather only occurring in one place. Honestly, how did you not get that?

I want rain to force blueish fog.

[QUOTE=Djessey;29059349]No, Having it rain only at a certain place would suck dicks. Different types of weather should only occur on certain biomes.[/QUOTE] I don't think you understood a word I said. The different weather should occur in certain biomes, yes, I just mean that it shouldn't be raining/snowing EVERYWHERE at once. It should be snowing in some winter biomes, but at the same time it shouldn't be snowing in others. Real world example: When it's raining in New York, it's not raining across the entire United States. I just mean there should be localized storms, instead of global precipitation.

[QUOTE=salmonmarine;29059464]Still no screen for choosing servers? Or a friends list? Come on, notch![/QUOTE] Friends list isn't that important. A server browser (Or at least favorites) would be nice, though...

[QUOTE=IdiotStorm;29059271]Didn't Notch say somewhere the achievements weren't just going to be "herp derp you STARTED THE GAME :downsbravo:" anyways rain looks cool[/QUOTE] this is good though. Like someone mentioned earlier, it'll help people get a feel of the game at first then slowly get harder.

hope it doesn't constantly rain like that. That'll be annoying

It would be nice if Notch checked the grammar in stats. Distance swum just doesn't sound right.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;29059898]It would be nice if Notch checked the grammar in stats. Distance swum just doesn't sound right.[/QUOTE] swam is correct i think both are correct, but swam sounds much better

Hey, the rain should make flowers grow, and if there is a drought the flowers die
