"The End" isn't in this update. It will be in the next update.

New game, they cannot spawn in already existing villages in Survival.

[IckleRonnikens]

bit silly. can't just spawn them manually in creative mode either?

When they add spawn eggs you can in creative.

Well, if you haven't seen your whole world yet you can get them. I had a world with a village with them not in it but I still had half my map unseen and walked to the other side and got another village with the new villagers in them.

I'd imagine most people will have explored the whole of their world by now but on the off chance they haven't that would work.

Yay, we´ll be able to enderpearl (teleport) now !

4J mentioned that via Twitter ...

When I created my current world after the 1.8 update I made sure I left a good chunk of my map undiscovered for future updates but I'm not sure what I should do now. Do I search through the undiscovered section just to get villagers or do I wait until the 1.2.3 update so there's a possibility of getting the jungle biome and whatever else the update throws at us? or is there going to be so much changing in the next update that I might as well just create a new world? I'm pretty sure I'll be fairly bored of my current map by then anyway...

Uhmm..

I have been waiting SO long for experience points to be added to this. I can finally get back into it.

Just a quick question, as I've been living under a rock since the game was released up until EXP was included: The End - this is another realm like the Nether place, right? I need a portal? Will I have to create a new world when that thing gets added?

The End is another realm yes, contains Endermen and the Dragon as well as the finite block Endstone.

The portal is found in a stronghold and requires 12 eyes of ender (It's common to have a few eyes of ender already placed so you may need less) to activate it.

For reference:


You will need to create a new world as nether fortresses will not generate in existing XBLA worlds and they are required to make eyes of ender. (This is if you are playing exclusively survival, you can switch to creative and give yourself blaze rods if you desire).

Bit early but does anyone have a seed for a Mooshroom biome?

You're a legend mate. Cheers.

So, the Nether Fortresses were included in the update that went live yesterday. I was planning on starting a brand new world when EXP was added, so doing so now would be okay for preparation for 'The End', right?

As long as you find a stronghold and nether fortress in the world, you should be good to go for when they add The End.

Wonder why they bothered to. Let us make Ender Portals without having the end. Surely they should have put both in together. Same as Villagers and trading. Get one without the other seems normal. Either way, just glad that support for the game is continuing as it is. Not many Devs support their titles this long after release.

could be just so you dont need a new world to get there when the next update comes because if tehy didnt have the portals now and you found a strong hold when the next update came you would need a new world yet again

Anyone else having trouble with animal breeding? my animals seem to just despawn, including the baby animals.

Are you on a new world?

[JeremyVersion1]

Started a new world.....not one single village on the entire map. -_-

Nope, playing on the same world I created after 1.8.

Nope, all is good here. Breed lots of baby animals and now I have alot in my world now. lol

[Kaiyo]

New update is ok though I haven't found any Nether Fortresses yet but would've been better with the End and Ender Dragon while that's for the next update.

Also, animals don't despawn now. If you walk more then 25 blocks away from them they look like they despawn but they are still there when you walk back closer to them. You can't see them when you're a little ways away. Just blocks can be seen from a far. As for breeding if you have to many animals in an area they may not breed. I took 2 animals that weren't breed away from the others and then it works fine.

There arent any mooshroom biomes in my world, i created a new one just to see what they öook like and how many mush you get from sheering the cows but i couldnt find ny mush islnds, ys i have the latest update

I made 2 new words and got them both times. Its a small island way out by the water near end of the map. Its in the new tutorial word too if you want to see them 100%.

Mooshroom biomes can only be on islands, and shearing mooshrooms should give you 3(?) red mushrooms.
you can also breed mooshrooms like any other peaceful mob.

[RDrules]

mushroom biomes are extremely rare anyway onpc and it would expect on here since they have always used the same world gen code

just an FYI though there is no point whatsoever in sheering mooshrooms, if you do they turn into normal cows and you only get a few mushrooms however you can milk them indefinately using wooden bowls to get stew so theres no point at all

if you need the plain mushrooms for something else just plant one on the myleasium there and use bonemeal on it to egt a giant mushroom and cut that down, you get a lot more and dont ahve to waste a mooshroom

I'm pretty sure animals can still despawn since i went mining and came back and all my animals disappeared.

Maybe you had a glitch? I went all the way to the other side of my world and all my animals never despawn. I still have my pig in my tree house that he somehow got up into after over 50 hours of gameplay since 1.8.2 update. lol

Or a wolf killed them? I caught a wolf killing some animals by my house and one even got into my fence with my sheep.

glitch seems most likely, wolves only kill sheep so all other animals should be safe from them
