Minecraft 1.6 is out!

I mean for Bukkit server update

 

After a quick look at Version History, i can see that bugfix release made more bugs and several ones are very bad. I guess that this release will be like 1.5, so bukkit team will wait for less-buggy release. And i agree.

 

I have the 1.6 server already, and its lagging terribly - would not recommend, even for the fact it's not Nether.

 

oh! that would be 3 minute i sorry.

Umm, wow my sarcasm (3 minutes) may have actualy, magically .... worked..
BUKKIT is updated for 1.6.3 = http://ci.bukkit.org/job/dev-CraftBukkit/810/
Its not an RB, but... um... who cares... check it out guys

so basically, .4 does absolutely nothing? wow that's great

 

i bet mojang is like.... omg wtf we shudve went with the 1.6_01 1.6_02 method, .... now we only have 5 more slots left...
lol like i said... in b4 1.7 on friday.

 

1.6.4 fixed the CPU Hog and a working CraftBukkit for it is out and working, but as they said it could destroy your universe! So.. Just test it.

 

CPU Bug fixed for me and my server with 1.64 and cb812

 

1.6.9.1 =p

 

ZoMg!!!111!!! theres a hole in my bukkit! Ohe Noes!

 

Except for that glowstone error andrewkm said above, I've got no other problems...

 

They could just do what most software does and go to 1.6.10.

 

that wud be so fail cuz they didnt start at 1.6.01

 

Maybe after 1.6_24, this release will be somehow free of major bugs

 

Are we there yet?

 

I wonder how nether SMP will interact with Bukkit's multi-world systems?

 

Tell Pupsik, and can normally upgrade to 1.6.4 without problems? All the same, or wait for plugins to upgrade?

I just refresh every 10 minutes... and read the new bugs...
quite entertaining actually.

wait for 1.6 to .... well work right... start there

Notch just laughs at us

 

Can someone post the actual change logs to the forum? I can't access any of the official sites from where I am.

Thanks

Version Title/NumberDate of AdditionAdditions Summary
1.6.4 May 26, 2011
Bug Fixes:

• Fixed CPU issue on multiplayer (?)
• Attempt at fix for severe CPU hog bug on SSP

New Bugs:

• CPU issue fix is still failing, same loop as 1.6.3
• Achievements may get bugged. [1]
• Updating of lighting due to torches and other player instigated sources seems to be even worse
• Underground minetrack corners can cause you to clip through wall and lose health (?)
• One Minecart may partitaly pass through another on a slope, when held by a non-activated booster track. [2] [3]

1.6.3 May 26, 2011

• The renderer is now capped at 100 fps while there are chunks to be generated. The excess time will be spent generating chunks instead of rendering frames.
• The “limit framerate” option now limits the game to 40 fps and will spend at least 10 ms per frame sleeping.
• The “limit framerate” option has been reset to “off” for all players, enable it again if you want it.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed some block updates not updating lighting properly under some circumstances by reverting the “don’t always send block data” fix in 1.6.
• Fixed a major CPU load issue in the server where a very tight loop would starve all other threads.
• Fixed furnaces dropping/duplicating their contents when they change state from lit to unlit or back.

New Bugs:

• FPS limiter limits FPS to 41 instead of 40.
• The fix for the CPU load issue is not working, and still starves all other threads.
• Water will freeze and turn into ice very rapidly (maybe not a bug ?).

1.6.2 May 26, 2011
Bug Fixes:

• Fixed new item duplication bug

New Bugs:

• The item duplication bug was not actually fixed; items placed in a furnace can still be taken out of a furnace and duplicated infinitely by right-clicking (although it appears the newly duplicated item will not function).
• When using a furnace and placing items into it, as soon as it's activated all items minus 1 are ejected and must be placed back in the furnace in order to use it.
• Lighting is not always updated when digging new holes/tunnels, placing torches or setting blocks on fire (in both nether & normal world).
• Dropping any tool with "q" or when dying then picking it again and using it causes the tool to disappear.
• Tall grass can grow on dirt with no grass on it.
• Shift-clicking something into a full chest from inventory or from chest into full inventory crashes the client.
• It is now impossible to row a boat in 1 block deep water.
• Sometimes (tested while in a boat on water, and when floating in water) while viewing a map the game will switch to a "saving chunks screen" then end on a black screen.
• When quitting game the "Saving Chunks" progress bar does not appear sometimes.
• When loading a world and standing in a cave less than 4 blocks high, the player gets some initial damage (at least the damage sound appears).
• Maps may cause crashes or instability on multiplayer servers.
• "Out of memory" error. Often appears after the "blocks don't disappear" bug.

The following bugs only occur in new chunks generated in 1.6.2:

• Some chunks don't get dark at night (and vice versa; some chunks stay dark during the day).
• The textures don't load on some chunks (The blocks are present but with transparent textures).
• Some blocks don't disappear after being broken; it appears as if the block is still there, but can be passed through.
• When in a moving minecart, the player shows the walking animation. [4]

1.6.1 May 26, 2011
Bug Fixes:

• Fixed item bug when picking up an item with a full inventory.

1.6 May 26, 2011

• Added trapdoors.
• Added Tall Grass in some biomes.
• Mushrooms now spreads (very) slowly.

• An item bug was introduced where people could pickup items while their inventory is full. [8]
• The invisible fence fix is not working, so the fences that were invisible before 1.6 are still invisible

 

Not to sound like a jerk, but why does the New Bugs list seem bigger than the Fixed Bugs list? And not only that, most of the fixed bugs are super minor and the new bugs fairly major.

Is there no internal testing at all? I'm baffled this would get released.

 

I am getting all kinds of chunk issues with 812 and vanilla 1.6. Some places I can get to appear properly while other places I get maybe 1 chunk to show up and a bunch of 1-2 blocks all over the place in other chunks and VERY slowly!!! populating blocks. Going back to 1.5 everything works fine.

I have tried multiple settings for view distance in server properties and the cpu is only reading about 34%

 

it got released because we can NOW HAS tall grass okay! God! dont you get it, TALL GRASS! why test?
lol - mojang fails.

lol we went from wolves (1.4) to rain (1.5) to tall grass (1.6)

I think that I will wait several more days to update to 1.6(Whatever additional numbers will be here at that point...) as it is looking to still be very buggy. I can wait another week for the maps.

 

Confirmed. Same issue

 

Are you on Brohoster?
