Typo?
raqreqentba is ROT13 "enderdragon", not "enderdragons". FelixGriffin 03:28, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

New Block?
That doesn't appear to be a new block, just obsidian towers.
 * Yeah I didn't get what they meant either. I think they were talking about the sky. So I reworded the image note. --HexZyle 02:55, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't mean to speculate here, but that really, really looks like Sand, Obsidian, and Bedrock. It seems a bit too soon to say they they are new blocks... Verhalthur (talk)(contribs) 03:06, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Obsidian, yes. The sky does look like pixelated bedrock. However, the sand block is obviously different. (assuming that notch never uses texture packs) It looks veiny and strangely lumpy, like some creepy alien bone from a sci-fi game. --HexZyle 04:43, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, and this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Red_link is why redlinks like that shouldn't be removed (i stuffed up the link to wikipedia in my edit summary) --HexZyle 04:45, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * ....It just looks like sand to me.... Electrk 05:38, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Looking at the brightened version of the image, the "sand" is definitely a new block. It matches up with the white, rough texture shown below the unbroken air portal block's texture in the terrain.png file. I won't bother to change that myself, as someone else will probably dispute it. ~Guest, 1:54 AM EST. 8 Oct.
 * Downloaded 1.9p3 terrain.png and confirmed this. This is definitely NOT sand --HexZyle 06:11, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I am wondering why it's obsidian, though? Perhaps it's just a place holder block for something else not yet added?MrLeonov 07:36, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the obsidian towers are probably there because this is ''the land of rare stuff", you knowSpartachilles 09:44, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with MrLeonov, its a filler block. Talk:Ender_Sand Check out what I typed out there.. at least thats my theory. --Throex 02:17, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you, throex. I could be wrong, not saying I'm right, but looking at the trivia and knowing a little how notch designs this game, I only suggested that the obsidiantowers we see were only placeholders because "endermen are aspiring builders" and notch limited them to moving certain blocks; they won't be able to pick up and place obsidian after 1.9 is released.

Anyone notice this?
Notice how the "obsidian towers" have these corners on them and cut outs? Reference with arrows pointing at it: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/File:Untitled.png Now notice, the one of the left is not that questionable, could be nothing, but the one in the middle...those cuts in it look a little odd to me. Not like two block towers stacked next to each other. Its almost like the corner of each block was removed.. Could this be a new style of block? That is not just square but "plus symbol"? Does anyone else think the corners look a bit odd? They are too close for them to be stacked diagonal so that the corners would be touching to create that "missing corner". Is this confusing? I really think there is something there no one else has noticed just because they think they are diagonal.

What most of you will think pattern is from: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/File:Display.png If you look close the corners.. are nothing like the cobble stone setup.. now what do you think? am i crazy? --Throex 02:36, 9 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Are you talking about this:
 * Cross-section of Tower on the Left


 * Cross-section of Tower in the middle


 * That's what I see --HexZyle 05:14, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The tower on the left, I can see how you see:


 * But the one in the middle, I tried to re-duplicate it in minecraft, this is what I got:
 * http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/File:D2.png
 * Now if you look at both images, I can see the resemblance in the two towers, but the one I created is the same layout you have shown above, but the corner pieces are still not similar, I tried capturing the shot from all angels to make sure it was not just the angle it showed it at. I still say there is something to it. :P --Throex 05:26, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I dunno. The screenshooter was standing on ground above the base of the Obsidian tower, and has a high resolution (not to mention unknown FOV settings) and that can lead to quite severe distortion --HexZyle 05:33, 9 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure it's just:

 * I can see the obsidian pattern three times on the sides. Father  Toast  15:36, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

loaders and lorp stroaders
What the hell are these things? And why would they be in the ender?

Whaaat? --Captain_Clam 23:00, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

May I please delete this? I have been researching it for an hour, and I've found nothing. Obviously vamdalism- no link to the tweet. I don't have a twitter (pretty wierd for a 14-year old, eh?) so I cannot ask @jeb. If anyone is willing to do this, please do. I am bad luck. Deal with it. 23:50, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Deleted. I am bad luck. Deal with it. 02:25, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

The Ender Exists in Pre-release 3
When I was closing down my pre-release 3 home hosted server for my brother and I, i noticed it said "Saving Chunks" 3 times, instead of the usual 2. (it was originally only once, until the multiplayer nether was made available in 1.6 or 1.7 or whatever it was. Each "saving chunks" refers to a different map) I was curious, so I started the server again. Sure enough, the server gui reported:

[INFO] Starting minecraft server version Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 [WARNING] **** NOT ENOUGH RAM! [WARNING] To start the server with more ram, launch it as "java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar" [INFO] Loading properties [INFO] Starting Minecraft server on *:25565 [INFO] Preparing level "MC9P3 Server" [INFO] Default game type: 0 [INFO] Preparing start region for level 0 [INFO] Preparing spawn area: 81% [INFO] Preparing start region for level 1 [INFO] Preparing spawn area: 20% [INFO] Preparing start region for level 2 [INFO] Preparing spawn area: 16% [INFO] Done (3996281460ns)! For help, type "help" or "?"

(Each start reigon is the spawn area in each map) --HexZyle 09:13, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
