Well everyone, Minecraft 1.3.1 has finally been released as of today. And as most of us know, it will change the way multiplayer is handled forever. While most of the changes were not terribly large (being a few added items and mob factors), this update changes your maps in single player from a local drive only map to a local area network map. This means you can freely open up your map to the public at any time, from what I know. I honestly think this is going to be a good update for Minecraft and will make modders' jobs just a bit easier. (But the cost of changing SP maps to LAN maps is unfortunately an upgraded CPU cost.)

For those of you unwary of the current changes or those who haven't had a chance to log into the game yet, this is just a basic list of what changes have been made to the game:

+ Single-player now runs a server internally
+ Publish the single-player instance to LAN
+ Automatically detect LAN worlds in multi-player screen
+ Added “cheats” option in single-player (enables commands)
+ Added “bonus chest” option to give players a quicker start in a new world
+ Added adventure mode (work in progress)
+ Added trading with villagers
+ Added emeralds, emerald blocks and emerald ore
+ Added cocoa beans to jungles
+ Added the Ender Chest
+ Added tripwires
+ Added new creative mode inventory with search functionality
+ Made it possible to gain enchantment orbs from mining ore and smelting
+ Added writeable books
+ Added “large biomes” world type
+ Added temples to jungles and deserts
+ Added chat settings
+ Added option to turn off and view snooper data
+ Added more information on the debug screen (F3)
+ New launcher with “Play Demo” button if not premium user
+ Added /seed command to see map seed
+ Added /defaultgamemode to set default game mode in a world (affects new players)
+ Added /debug command for profiling
+ Added SRV record lookup support

We get it Notch, you removed him/it for about the 5th time already...

Anywho, this update seems to make my Minecraft run faster, anyone else's run faster too?

We will have our full server online with mods etc up as soon as you see it via bukkit

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/when-will-craftbukkit-for-1-3-be-released.88921/

I cant comment if mine runs faster yet since mine always runs fast!

I myself have noticed a bit more of a noticeable frame skip when Minecraft creates or loads a new chunk, but nothing else other than that.

Killjoy 1.3.1 bukkit is out

I.....am.... so happy :')

This update is just...... wow :')

noticed a little drop in fps from previous versions but new stuff makes up for it

For me the servers keep just polling any server and it feezes my minecraft when i try to join then after like 10-20 secs im in

Our server which is up that has no mods/ protection has been online past month or so is still online and updated to 1.3 our full server with mods protection and more will be online soon!

Join to experience some of the 1.3 multiplayer now

99.198.122.244:25568

all looks goood...

Seems 1.3.2 was released and bukkit is only for 1.3.1 or something i am looking into this and then i will get us a public server rolling again

A note on Minecraft 1.3.2
As Minecraft 1.3.2 was primarily a bug fix release whose main purpose was to address an issue with travelling to and from the Nether and this issue is and was already fixed in Bukkit, there is no rush for us to update Bukkit to Minecraft 1.3.2. We'd rather focus on getting a stable, better performing Bukkit out first then work on updating Bukkit to the latest Minecraft update.

there is not really any need to update bukkit for 1.3.2.
you can join fine with your minecraft updated and server only running 1.3.1

thank you for the update we will adventure into a working server online within next 48 hours!

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Side note: I think this site should focus more on the old events it had and have tourneys still. Even though I probably won't participate, it was fun just seeing more people come on the site.

Now the server killjoy was talking about, is that the temp server or the official one (with all of the plugins)?

The official one. At least I hope so, but by the way I read it, it seems like it's the real one.

It will be the official one that is why  he was waiting for the bukkit update.

Jeb_ Is the lead developer of Minecraft now i believe, just to inform you i dont think Notch plays any major part in development anymore o.O

I had forgotten that Notch let Jeb_ take over the Minecraft section of Mojang. Thanks for reminding me.
