1.21.2 Progress

I am working almost around the clock to fix the bugs you found with 1.21. Special thanks go to Scrafter for fantastic reports on electricity bugs, including videos and worlds, despite his runny nose :-) This was a huge help – all found electricity issues are now fixed, as far as I know.

My current list of bugs is:

  • Electric lamps falling off blocks when switched on or off at a distance (fixed)
  • Electric lamps switching off for no reason when moving around them (fixed)
  • Very long electric lines stopping working when moving around them (fixed)
  • Seizing up of  complex electric circuits when going away and coming back (fixed)
  • When standing still on top of a moving creature, player’s legs move (not fixed yet)
  • Breaking block with a saddle destroys the saddle (not fixed yet)
  • No help on how to mount the horse (fixed)
  • Horse/player death on mount/dismount (in progress)
  • Something to do with signs underwater (not fixed yet)
  • Freezes (ugh…)

I’m not looking at every issue I hear about, if it’s not too important or very rare, I’ll leave it for later.

As you can see, there are still serious bugs in 1.21, so I can’t submit to Amazon Store, Apple and Windows Phone yet. Patience. I want it submitted as much as you do, if not more in fact. But I don’t want to submit a broken game.

To clarify the confusion: Amazon, Windows Phone and Apple builds are not out yet. Do not raid the marketplaces. When I’m done with the bugs, I’ll submit it and then you’ll have to wait about a week for the reviews to complete.

Stay tuned, I’ll post any progress I make in this blog or on Twitter.

    How about the horse disappearing after useing it a few times? Is this supposed to happen? I find it really annoying especially after traveling a great distance and then having to walk the whole distance back to base

    I bought this app quite a while ago and loved it but I had to get a different phone which as it turns out is not compatible. The phone is an lg optimus zip and I was hoping you could remedy this issue if possible. Thank you for your time.

    [Glitch]: When a saddled horse (probably goes for unsaddled too) dies you can still mount the horse it just doesn’t allow you to stay on the horse.

      You can saddle an unsaddled horse when it’s, dead as well.

    Kaalus, on 1.20 there is a glitch which causes only first light in a circuit to light up. If you connect it up in a loop like a real circuit it does not light the middle light either (this is a circuit with three bulbs and a switch). Please can you try to fix this.This is on kindle.

    • Posted April 19, 2013 at 09:57 | Permalink | Reply

      The problem is, each light has four inputs but no outputs so it will not resume the current through the rest of the circuit. Only items with an output can power an item. All you need to do is use some wire with a current going through it to power it.

      well how wide is your maiden ? if 2 blocks wide bears WILL die in the maiden (bears are somewhat fat in other words 2 blocks wide).. wolves are only 1 block wide so it has capability of staying between the spike (activated spikes on a side are like vertical slabs (half blocks) the wolf stands in one half on the remaining halves on both floor block (if only i could post pictures) but the wolf will eventually die in it’s quest to escape while it struggles

    Something I’ve noticed is if you spawn an animal into space it doesn’t fit in it dies instantly. Not sure if it’s meant to happen, because I would’ve presumed it just wouldn’t spawn at all.

      • Posted April 19, 2013 at 14:41 | Permalink | Reply

        I know that, but I thought it just wouldn’t spawn at all seeing as it doesn’t have enough space.

    • Posted April 19, 2013 at 10:04 | Permalink | Reply

      Also, if you’re riding a horse and drop into a deep hole (deep enough to kill you that is) the horse will die but you won’t take any damage at all. I think you should at least take some damage to make it more realistic.
