Ok so I have been asking around and quite a considerable amount of players want to know the bigger and more prominent features that are upcoming in MineCraft 1.3, here are the highlights of what I thought was pretty awesome! Lets start with the obvious additions and then get more in-depth.
Adding Pyramids:
Not only will there be randomly generated pyramids, but they have traps and treasure inside!
Adding Jungle Temples:
I have heard very little about this, however what I have heard is that they will be pretty awesome and intricate!
Testificate Updates:
Testificate trading:
The long awaited feature of testificate trading is soon to come! A way to obtain the new ore, emeralds! and is it possible that emeralds may become part of the ore based currency in MineTown? Cant wait to find out!
Villagers spawned by means of an egg, (*crosses fingers* hopefully spawners too!) will gain a random profession ( on a side note, the testificates profession determines what they want to trade!)
Different style villages in desert biomes!
Villagers may remove a specific trade option after it has been used 3-15 times.
MOB UPDATES:
Zombie Pigmen: Now this is something you wanna watch out for! According to my sources, in 1.3, although rare, zombie pigmen can spawn out of nether portals! so make sure your portals are in a mob spawn deny region or are in a protected room!
Pigs: Now drop 1-3 porkchops instead of 0-2.
Easier to push passive mobs around.
Baby animals will follow their parents!( I thought that was cute >.<)
WEATHER UPDATES:
Stars are slightly smaller and slightly brighter.
Rain will slowly drip through leaves.
INVENTORY, CRAFTING AND SMELTING UPDATES:
I was pleased to find out that empty buckets are to be stackable to 16.
Wooden tools can be burned in furnaces.
Shift support clicking added to inventory for armor , and brewing stands.
New book recipe!.
MAJOR NEW FEATURES!:
Ender chests!: make two or more, put items in one, and you can find your items in any other ender chest placed by you!
New gravel texture!: at least it got a bit more interesting for this annoying block, perhaps they wanted to give us something nicer to look at as we angrily dig through the annoying substance?
New slabs and stairs for the three new plank types!: Finally! more designer options!
Added TripWire Hooks: Can be connected up to 40 blocks by string! Works on all entities!
Book and Quill and Written Books!: At long last more space for writing! A way to record notes, information, and more! no more sign notes for me! Can be up to 50 pages long! and can be saved and edited later! then signed and titled to finish your book! Perhaps Pokemongardevoir can write MineTown story books! a guaranteed best seller!
New dispenser features!:
Dispensers can eject water and lava sourceblocks now from buckets! And take source blocks back in if there is a bucket inside!
Dispensers can now place minecarts on rails and boats in water!
Specific names for the new types of planks and leaves!
REDSTONE UPDATES!:
Redstone(including repeaters torches, levers and pressure plates and rails!) can now be positioned on slabs and stairs that are positioned upside down!
levers can now be attached to the bottom of a block!
BREWING UPDATE!:
Cauldrons now slowly collect rainwater!
MORE NEAT STUFF!:
Adding Cocoa Plants!
Cocoa beans drop from jungle tree leaves at the same rate as apples!
New Cocoa Beans Texture!
New Emerald ore!
New emerald blocks! ya kno, like diamond blocks!
Adventure mode has been added to singleplayer! however, Mojang has stated that it needs more work!
Bonus Chest options added in singleplayer when creating worlds!
Legitimate way to obtain chainmail armor in survival mode!
XP AND ENCHANTING UPDATES!:
Silk touch is able to pick up Ender Chests, Ice, and Glass Panes!
17xp per level up to level 16, after which levels 17 and up require more points per level!
Xp orbs can now be gained through mining ores, and using a furnace for smelting!
MAXIMUM ENCHANTMENT LEVEL REDUCED FROM 50 TO 30!
IMPORTANT FOR ENCHANTERS! THE MAXIMUM ENCHANTMENT IS AT THE TOP OF THE JIST WHEN ENCHANTING, AND LOWEST AT THE BOTTOM!
MOAR UPDATES? WTF? MOJANG BEEN BUSY AS #$%@
Lillypads no longer break boats!
Other players can now see the cracking effect on a block being mined by another player in multiplayer!!
Well thats the high lights! phew that was a lot of typing! I hope that answers the question of "whats coming in minecraft 1.3?"
