Minecraft 1.1 update adds languages, eggs and regenerative sheep
32
While Minecraft Pocket Edition players are still waiting for their very first update, the gravy train of newness for Minecraft classic players continues to plow mercilessly into the future. Version 1.1, which should already be live by the time you're reading this, includes bug fixes, new language options and eggs that allow you to grow pigs (and presumably other creatures).
In addition, sheep now have the ability to regrow their wool by eating grass, greatly decreasing the amount of sheep you'll need to grow in those eggs. Man, that's a sentence I never thought I'd have to write again. You can see everything in action in the video above, produced by H.A.T. Films.

H.A.T. Films?
Sounds like a TF2 production company.

For an update video, that lacked dullness.

what about a skill system to go with the exp, quests to go with the NPC's, AI to go with the monsters...

The eggs are only in creative mode so you can spawn mobs at will.
Sadly, my texture pack is glitchy as hell now.

That is the only thing I don't like about updates and I stress only.
I have rather become addicted to 64-128x textures and now the waiting cycle begins on MCPatcher to get updated (might already be, havn't checked) and for those awesome texture pack makers to feverishly commit their awesome to pixels so all might enjoy a more awesome MC experience!
Other than that I FREAKING LOVE PATCHES!

I realise that since Jeb took over the lead coding position, the modding API's taken precedence, buuuut... I feel like the game's pretty much stopped since 1.0 was released. And it needs new content desperately- I love Minecraft, but there's not enough feature 'meat' to it in order to justify the price increase over beta. If Mojang want sales to remain near as strong as before, I really feel that we need more new, creatively designed features to be added in updates soon.

Only thing I really want is more block types so I can make houses better.
Netherbrick slab, Glass slab, hell I think a water and lava slab would be useful.
Two things I would kill for would be top slab (so you can put slab on the roof, had some kickass ideas but cant do it cause slabs are bottom), and upside down stairs.
Think of the architecture on buildings you would be able to do

@Faenix The one thing I really want is some sort of wool slab, though that will mean that several colors will have to be made along with it. All so I can have a functionining carpet on multiple floors without the ceiling of one floor having a pattern on it.

I haven't really been following development but have they made the experience and NPCs do anything yet? Last time I tried it they still weren;t working.

I thought the Adventure update was already 1.8...

I wish Adventure mode had discoverable recipes so I won't have to read Wikis and spoil the surprises....

That's exactly what I mean. Putting things randomly on the workbench will give me millions of possibilities, and only a few correct ones.
I'd like a mob to occasionally drop a piece of paper with schematics. And chests in dungeons will ( might?) contain schematics too. Thus it gives a more reason to venture out to kill mobs and dig dig dig!

@Scuffles Spose you could still use the wiki tho -- less it restricted building to only things you've found blueprints for.
I agree with Adrian tho would be better to be able to find blueprints instead of using a wiki. Keep you "in the game" more.

Oh my GOD, there is Pirate language in the new patch. :O

When's the patch that rebuilds the game engine so it doesn't require Java? Apologies if this counts as trolling.
Hey, I already bought Minecraft. Since I formatted my computer it even runs better. But Java? Come on.

All I want is to be able to pick what number of enchantment I put on an object, not sit at the table for 10 minutes, clicking incessantly, to get the one I want.
