Thank you for choosing the Minecraft Update open beta!
If you'd like to download an older version, find this mod on Planetminecraft for the legacy download link!
NOTICE: there are some planned features that are not fully implemented.
COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF CURRENT FEATURES:
Beta 0.1
Starter House: there is now a starter house that spawns upon world generation, containing some basic materials, such as armor, tools, a minecart & tracks, and a bed. This will only spawn once, so take good care of it!
The Baobab Savannah: the trees in this savannah have grown so thick and tall that all the grass has begun to die. If you're looking for wood, these forests aren't too hard to find.
The Dry Forest: this, like the Baobab Savannah, was once a great thick forest, but it began to decay. Now, the only inhabitants are shulkers, for the behemoths that once roamed the land have died, and become fossils. This is also a good place to get wood, albeit rarer.
The "Desert Plateau": this desert was flooded and now forms lovely beaches with crystal-clear saltwater. A perfect place for a vacation.
Dreams: Beware, when you sleep, there is a chance that you will be taken to a dimension of dreams, more real than you think. There is only one way to escape other than death. Can you figure out what it is? This dreamland is more of a nightmare, as it is foggy and dense with monsters. Be careful, because the pain is real.
Rhodium: a rare metal that grants extreme protection at the expense of being poisonous. This exists in real life and is known to cause a burning sensation. Rhodium will kill you in seconds if you hold it, so don't use it for too long.
Beta 0.2
Pine Forest: a forest of rare pine trees, which are 5x stronger than wood. Boars can be found here.
Boars: these pig-like creatures spawn in groups as large as 24. When attacked, they retaliate and all boars in the nearby area begin to attack you. They love baked potatoes and will not attack you if you feed them enough. More taming mechanics to come in next update.
Hide: dropped by boars, these can be "eaten" to obtain bonemeal. No other purpose.
Watermark: this lets you know which version you are on. Will be removed in final release.
Beta 0.3
Coal Tools: they're what they sound like. Tools with almost no durability, made from coal. Not much faster than your hand.
Release 0.4.0
Friendly Zombie: Added mob Friendly Zombie, which attacks "monster" mobs and avoids boars. Can spawn in dungeons.
