Holy content update, Manbat!

But! We (especially Jens) have added a bunch of new content to Minecraft that we want to get out asap, so there will be a content patch update next week with a whole pile of fun new toys, including a water mob and quite possibly paint if we can figure out how exactly it should work.

Also:

git commit -a -message Added music blocks

So music blocks will be finally added in that update too.

Server is back up. Internet decided to take a break for a few hours.

How music blocks will work, from Twitter:

right click to tune (2 octaves). Left click or redstone trigger to play. The material under the block sets the instrument

So I will be able to make a bunch of pressure plates that will play the Imperial March as the creeper runs at me over them? Cool!

I bet that one could use a keyboard arrangement with an easily-usable 15 or 16 keys each, arranged using levers and footplates around the player. Several people could play these at once I bet, that would be so cool!

We can recreate Big.

Pat I like the way you think.

[Legodragonxp]

Great, Pat wants to make Minecraft DDR.

I wonder if the new save files format Notch is going to implement will be backwards compatible.

[Lippy]

Do you mean, will the new saves work on older versions, or will old saves work on newer versions? 

I highly doubt it will be the former, unless someone makes a mod.  Most likely it will be the latter.  He's changed the save format before, and it didn't break anything.  He should be able to do it again.

[Didero]

He mentioned in his tweets that old saves will be converted to the new format the first time they're loaded.
