Nice, I'll update. Hey, have any of you by any chance heard when the MineCon cloak pops up on your little block-man. I registered like 2 hours ago and still have a bare back.
Can someone tell me how to use the 1.9 PR please? I just WISH that Mojang would cough up the full update already instead passing out bits n pieces of it.
Download the .jar file for the minecraft pre 5. Replace the regular 1.8 jar with the 1.9 pre 5 jar. Should run fine
--- Update ---
Also, you can now mine the stone that is in the end now. Its called "end stone"
Oh, and btw Soda, they won't update the game until November 18th, which will be the full release.

I don't think that loads until after the main release and MineCon.
i see the sun is somewhat rounded now or was that in a earlier version?
Quote from: static2601;1855i see the sun is somewhat rounded now or was that in a earlier version?
In pre-release 4 they rounded the moon and sun, but 5 has moon phases now, might have been added last release.
I think I might tint the full moon and make it the Blood moon in the next texture pack release I make.
How do I change the camera back to normal?

the same way you got into that camera view
Ive noticed that the Endys don't burn to death in the sunlight, they just teleport sparadically.
Also, enderdragons can now be killed by hitting them in their head. They drop 20,000 experience and an obsidian. The obsidian is a placeholder I think.

It is I think they are gonna have Dragon Eggs.
Yeah. Hmm hopefully you can be able to ride the dragons you raise.

I hope so or at least another pet to add to my army of mobs.

Maybe they are to hatch another dragon. Who wants to fight a dragon once and have it be gone forever? It's like the whole limited stronghold thing, the people want renewable resources, and this dragon may be one.
