Zedwork April [1.10] server

[Zedwick]

The new snapshot for 1.10 has arrived! (15w14a). This is the Love and Hugs update.

So we can all explore this joyful, heart-filled land together I've set up a server hosting this snapshot.

Server: latest.zedwork.co.uk:27565

You'll need to be running the latest snapshot to get on to it.

You can read more about this update here: https://mojang.com/2015/04/minecraft-sn ... gs-update/

I don't really understand what a snapshot is and how it differs from a normal update.
Can anyone give a quick explanation?

thanks

Quote from Mojang website about this snapshot:

"After a long debate, we came to the final conclusion which should make everybody equally happy/unhappy: We’ll release snapshots, but only after we’ve already added everything. This way, those who didn’t want to see snapshots will be upset because they will see snapshots, and those who want to see snapshots will be upset because they won’t see snapshots until it’s very late, and then those who didn’t want to see snapshots will be happy because those who did want to see snapshots will be unhappy, and then those that did want to see snapshots will be happy because those that didn’t want to see snapshots will be unhappy. Or something."

Does anyone understand this?

"Gameplay
◾We have removed the ability to directly harm other creatures. You should be rewarded for helping, not hurting.
◾Removed Health and Hunger. We feel that these are not appropriate gameplay mechanics for a game about love, sharing and peacefulness.
◾Added a new “Love” meter. This fills up the more you help others, and others help you.
◾“Survival” mode has been renamed to “Existence”.

Animals
◾Bats are now 20% cuter. Squeek.
◾Chickens can now be ridden by any player less than two blocks tall.
◾Cows will now alert you to important events that you may have missed by means of an audible notification.
◾Pigs can no longer fly, but can now climb on walls.
◾Rabbits are fluffy.
◾Sheep will, if asked nicely, share their wool to keep you warm.
◾Squid changed, but we’re still trying to figure out how or why.

Monsters Inhabitants
◾“Monsters” are no longer named as such. The preferred term is “Inhabitants”, as they live in this world just like you or me.
◾Steve and Alex have realized that the inhabitants are not evil, and just want to hug and get along.
◾Creepers no longer explode. They have gotten over their nervous disposition and are much more friendly once you get to know them.
◾Skeletons have revealed themselves to be very efficient farmers, having a permanent source of bone meal on them at all times.
◾Blazes are actually pretty cool guys and will defend you from harm.
◾Guardians have put aside the initial misunderstanding, and now welcome you into their home with arms… erm… eyes… wide open.
◾Ghasts are no longer frightened so easily, and will offer you rides throughout the nether.
◾Slimes are now pretty fun to hang around with, sharing their secret jumping abilities to those that will listen.
◾Witches are super friendly and surprisingly knowledgable. They will help you by sharing their potions.
◾Zombies are extremely cuddly and love to hug.
◾The Wither has been replaced with his lovable pink counterpart, promoting vitality and nourishment to the environment around him.

Must be April 1st!

Sorry Suzie, snapshots are supposed to be an early look at development towards the next official release of Minecraft.

To use snapshots, you can create a new profile in your Minecraft launcher by clicking the "New Profile" bottom left.

This will bring up a new window, you can name your profile anything you like but I named mine "Snapshot"

Click the "Enable experimental development versions (snapshots)" checkbox under "version selection"

Where it says "Use Version:" you can select "Use Latest Version"

click "Save Profile" bottom right to finish creating your new profile, and then you should be able to start Minecraft using this profile to get onto the snapshot server. To switch back, just select your old profile from the drop-down list on the left of the launcher.

I thought this was an April fool's, but OMG it's real.
I'm still scared in caves tho, what's that about, I must b scared of the dark or something.

I hope they bring this out for younger players, cause my kids love it.

Thanks Zed.

One sec. This is just a "Setting" right? Like this would ruin Minecraft for older people. I understand having a new setting like between peaceful and easy but if this is widespread, I dont really want to play it anymore...

LVS wont be affected...... right? :S

It'd be pretty ace to have this as another gamemode, but alas no. This was an April Fools release, a bit of a silly joke. The snapshot has since been removed from the launcher, I do not believe it is officially available anymore. This is not the real 1.10, the next update is 1.9 and is a long way off from being released.

Do not worry, Danny! you will not need suffer the horrors of heart-filled lands.

[ProducerDanny]

Good. I prefer evil and horrendous horrors that are creepers.
