thanks for the heads-up, Vaquxine

I hate the new sounds. Anyway, what do you feed animals to make them breed?

[Lym 849]

I feel like I have to convert to "Vaquxinism" ^^

Sun and moon are back to square again? And thanks for the list.

wheat to make the mobs breed, vaq forgot sheep, and forgot to mention that all animal mobs such as pig, cow, sheep and chicken are now persistent, meaning that if you kill all of them they will be extinct as in no more of them period. they will also stay where you pen them up in fenced off areas except there has been loading issues with them loading outside the fenced area and thus escaping. however the sheep still do not grow their wool back yet.

edit: i forgot to add i love the new sounds!

oh and glass panes still do not connect to stair blocks

Being poisoned gives you little green bubbles. And pushing F5 goes from 1st person to 3rd person to looking at yourself.

That will be great for character screenshots.

Trapping animals is annoying though and I have to be VERY careful since I'm on hardcore mode.

Yes! This is amazing, I can't believe it is actually launched.
