This. Is. MINECRAFT! [v3]

I don't think we have enough TNT yet. Only about 60 pieces. Our aim will likely be rubbish so we should get a least a couple more stacks. So if we could volunteers for creeper hunting...

Make sure you use a looting sword on any creepers you find.

I've got Knockback II as well so I'm the ultimate creeper hunting machine. Though if you don't have knockback, then creeper fighting can be challenging due to server lag.

So I Walmart today to grab food for future lunches and do some browsing, possibly for gift ideas. I found a wall of the best known Minecraft Youtubers as action figures. I was primarily shaking my head at this section, which was noticeably much larger than the Transformer's section next to it.

Yeah, the Transformers section is shrinking by the day. :/

I can't even find Transformers anymore... I was looking earlier today to see what they had and...nothing (unless I missed them).

So, Geoff has removed Plan G from Achievement City.

Mentioned it in the latest LP:

I heard about it in their new podcast first I think. Either way I wouldn't say he really removed it.

*is looking over the features for 1.9 and notices two new ones*

So the Ender Dragon will become respawnable by crafting four Ender Crystals, those things the dragon heals from, and placing them around The End escape portal. They are crafted from a Ghast tear and an Eye of Ender surrounded by glass. They must be placed on obsidian or bedrock.

Also there is going to be an attack strength mechanic added, which I'm concerned about causing lag, but we'll see... Not only will it affect attacking for players and mobs, but it also applies to tools.

Also I just found two new varieties of horses will appear as well. The first is the Skeleton Trap Horse, which will sometimes spawn due to a lightning strike. The horse is all bones with a skeleton rider. If a player is within tick range, then three more horses will be spawned with damage immunity for three seconds, and with enchanted bows and helmets. Otherwise the horse will despawn.

Zombie horses are also a new variety, however they are not fully implemented in the game yet, presently they can only be summoned in.

Zombie and skeleton horses have been a thing for a while, just not in the actual game. Cool that they're actually making them a thing now!

Also, watching the latest LP Minecraft episode (Tower of Gav) makes me want to try something like that with you guys.

Hmm... Perhaps we could start making our little city or something.

But should we wait for 1.9 so we don't have to restart, or would it be possible to migrate it over to 1.9?
