...Yet.
I got onto Minecraft today to find I was being offered a new update. I declined, assuming it was a little glitch, but just a few minutes ago, I found out via Facebook that 1.1 has been released. As always, I'd say don't update until the staff give the OK and the server's updated.

Or else.

Exactly.

Does the new update add anything useful? Or is it just Mojang rolling out the bug fixes they promised for 1.0?

A few bug fixes, but also some additions. One thing that interests me is spawn eggs. Almost all mobs can be spawned by right clicking while holding that mob's egg.

Biome transitions (particularly to swamps) are more gradual. There are now spawn eggs in creative mode for easy mob spawning. A new world type for singleplayer (superflat) was added, there's more language support, and ladders no longer have collision boxes.

also sheep now eat grass and regrow wool (YAY) and Bow's can be enchanted! (ME GUSTA)

now all they need is to updates Testificates to actually do something rather than hiding all their character in their noses.

and the collision box for fence gates are fixed

Mojang hired a specialist in AI recently, so Testificates will likely be getting an improvement in the next update. Hopefully they fix wolves too.

Golden apples are now a viable option! :3

The pig zombies shall be destroyed! Mwuahahaha! (plus they drop xp now too!)

"Walking on Crops no longer tramples them"

Great, now people can spawn mobs in creative. As if we dont have enough lag.

Biological bantrap anyone?

Is there any way to limit that or to just make it not an option?

Cue the search for a plugin that does that
EDIT: Wait, we can't use bedrock in creative, so couldn't that just be used for the eggs?

Not the same. Bedrock is not able to be placed - you can hold it. It's removed when placed. I guess if you did that for mobs, it COULD work, but it might even cause more lag.

One would hope so.

Let it be known, that I will not allow you to spam Creative with mobs.

I feel like the strange one, but I really wanted beaches back. This makes me happy.

I want more ocean life. Squids are terribly annoying when trying to build underwater and something like a whale would be cool.

Sucks, I kept hitting Do Not Update, but the game kept locking up. My only option was to update, hopefully it won't be long before the server updates.

Already updated, crap.
"Walking on Crops no longer tramples them"
?! I"M SO HAPPY!!!!

Will it be updated and if it is when?
