<div style="width: 550px; text-align: center" align="center">The next major update for Minecraft has been released. In Minecraft 1.3.1, the long awaited "trading" with villagers has been added with an emerald currency. New biome based dungeons or temples have been added in the desert and jungle, and many more additions and changes are packed in this update. A small list can be found below, with the full list of changes at the bottom.
If you want to play on the official eGO server, DO NOT UPDATE to the latest version of Minecraft when asked. We will not be updating our official server until a stable version of Bukkit has been released.
For those interested in testing out the new update, we have setup our private server to temporary run a map until we update the main server. We highly recommend you make a backup of your game so you are able to play on both versions in the event that you want to play on the official server still. Once again, this map is completely temporary - it will not be staying permanently.
Temp 1.3.1 Server: 173.234.145.210
- The game now runs an internal server in single-player mode
- The single-player server can be shared on LAN, with LAN server detection
- Made it possible to use client-side commands by enabling cheats (this is defaulted as disabled for old worlds)
- Added an optional ?bonus chest? to get started quicker
- It?s now possible to trade with villagers. Added emeralds as a currency
- You gain enchantment orbs from other tasks than just destroying monsters. Max enchantment level has been decreased to 30
- Servers can automatically suggest and distribute texture packs
