I must say.. Notch actually did good with this update. If it wasn’t for my mods being broken (again), I would use this. This is a very good update.
\nIt has new blocks, the first underwater animal (Squid<\/a>), sheep are now in different colors, and the ability to paint wool blocks to make them look just like the ones from Minecraft Classic.
\nHowever, only a handful of dyes for the wool blocks look exactly like they do in Classic (and may have the same Block ID). The others are altered versions of them. The red one is more of a blood red color. I can’t say “Notch was just being lazy” which isn’t true in the slightest. I say he wanted to separate Classic from Beta. To show that Beta is “more modern” than Classic.<\/p>\n

Also, someone made an optional Minecraft Client back on New Years Eve. It does what Notch promised he would do; ask if you want to update. I found it today of someone in the Single Player Commands thread telling another member to use “a non-updating client”. After asking, he said it’s part of this community pack.
\nSo I checked the wiki (remembering that I saw it before), got the link, and downloaded it.
\nI then ran the client, and it acted like “Update? What update? There was an update? Ehh, probably a shitty one anyway.”.. I fucking LOVE it!! \ud83d\ude00 Now I will NEVER be forced to play offline EVER AGAIN! It’s a godsend, like Single Player Commands.<\/p>\n

Other news I wanted to pass along. MCEdit is still alive and frequently updated. And one of its updates finally renders underwater blocks, allowing you to sculpt deep oceans. And in my case, remove what was left over from my early attempts of the transit system. I can finally remove the eyesore I made around House Memorial.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the transit system, Wayward Desert Station is finally<\/em> being constructed. I made an underground station for it — above ground. It’s a pretty good design if I say so myself.
\nI’m planning to import my Pyramid from my Mynecraft server over to it, to add to the theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
