Talk:Java Edition 2.0

Download link
Note to any editors: I know about the download link, because I have downloaded the files myself. Tables 23:05, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The page previously had a download link on it but it was fake, it's pretty hard to trust stuff like that.  LB ( T 00:16, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Fake? It works on my computer!

It's funny how a direct minecraft.net download can be considered fake. http://assets.minecraft.net/secretthings/do_not_open/no_seriously/please_dont_open_or_share_with_anybody/theres_nothing_to_see_here/minecraft_2point0_purple.zip It's not Rocket Science 174.45.28.249 00:35, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Clicking that URL yields a 403 forbidden message for me, which is why I considereed it fake (I thought someone just typed in some random minecraft.net url).  LB ( T 05:02, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I just tried that link and got the file. I also removed the space in it from above.  05:10, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Files offline?
Hello,

when I try to access one of the archives, each will give back a error message like this: - &#60;Code&#62;AccessDenied&#60;/Code&#62; Access Denied(SOMETHING CRYPTIC HERE)(SOMETHING CRYPTIC HERE)  Any solutions? MinecraftMuffin 09:28, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Mojang have deleted the files, you can't download anymore the files ;)
 * --Raffox97 it.Wiki Admin 09:39, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't think they deleted it, because it says "Access Denied", not "The specified key does not exist. So they made the files private, what is as same bad as if they deleted the files. So, couln't make funny things with it like josh my friends etc., but ok :) So, finally, woke up to late today :D In my time zone its already 11:45 AM

 * Oh, well. Mediafire upload time!
 * --93.39.225.97 10:03, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Not really. While I would love to upload them and share, since I grabbed all three as soon as Hower64 put up the links assuming this would happen, it is against the Minecraft ToU and brand guidelines (and Notch's "one major rule") to distribute anything Mojang has made. This is why hacked clients are put in a bad light and why mods are designed to install the way they do.  10:16, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Totally right. So we have to wait and hope that Mojang will made those public again. :) MinecraftMuffin 13:09, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, I found a video on YouTube where somebody gives a link to download 2.0. I did it and it worked ! I think this is the best update ever made in Minecraft, I guess. (floating sheeps ftw) 78.129.95.93 13:23, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Anvil
Can anyone confirm that when TNT explodes, rarely an anvil falls on the players? ILeon 14:08, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure it's when an Etho Slab explodes that it happens 100% of the time.  LB ( T 20:37, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I can definitely confirm that when you light an Etho Slap and it explodes (in Blue version at least), an Anvil drops on the player. DwarfWoot 20:40, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

April Fool's Joke!
I knew it! CS 14:35, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Release date
I didn't think it would come out this month! I think it would come out in 2015 or next year.....

Random Talk Bubble?
I was walking in Survival on 2.0 and randomly when I broke grass a talk bubble appeared and said "Mummy?" This has happened to me twice and i forgot what the other one said. Has this happened to anyone else? Can you guys confirmed it? KyleA2000 23:43, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: I found a way to reproduce. And this is on blue version. Create a random survival. Break one or a couple of blocks and a talk bubble would appear saying a random comment like, "I HATE you!" or "..zzZZZ" KyleA2000 23:48, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * UPDATE 2: Acually when I start breaking multiple blocks near my spawn point it starts happening multiple times. KyleA2000 23:51, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * UPDATE 3/RECAP: So sometimes if you start breaking a block it says a random comment on survival. Tell me if this is happening to you KyleA2000 00:02, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes I saw this while watching a podcast. The blocks will say things like, "That tickles" or "Ow!". Mavik 01:07, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Exploding Furnaces?
I was playing Minecraft Blue (Normal) and I was cooking sand, next thing I know.. The furnace exploded! Anyone else having this happen? Bug? Or is it something they put there on purpose? 65.19.131.250 10:32, 3 April 2013 (UTC)Ben
 * It's there on purpose. I didn't know this at first and got scared when my house exploded. Its just there as an Aprils Fools joke. I know it is on purpose because it says this in the changelog. 24.131.165.39 20:18, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

It is a new furnace mechanic that they added. The furnace might overheat and explode. Mavik 01:08, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Including download links
While the official downloads have been removed, the jars have been reposted to various filesharing sites. Normally I'd be hesitant to link to such sites, as there's no guarantee the files haven't been modified. However, Dinnerbone retweeted a couple of those links on April 5 (specifically these two; I can't find a way to link directly to the retweet). Is this sufficiently official endorsement to allow including those links on the page? -- Orthotope 00:45, 7 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I missed those. Going through his tweets, he confirmed his retweets here and here. I would like to say that counts as endorsement to allow the 2.0 copies to be distributed. I originally would've wanted to find a stable way to share the copies I got, but I've been defending Mojang's "do not distribute" rule. If Dinnerbone's okay with it, then I am as well.  01:01, 7 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and pulled the individual jar links out of the main mediafire link. I, too, don't know how to link to a retweet, but I used the first tweet that mentions the retweet for the reference.  01:10, 7 April 2013 (UTC)


 * For security's sake, I used two separate freeware file comparing programs and compared the files hosted on those mediafire links, in their entirety, with the files I retrieved from assets.minecraft.net. All three are identical.  01:31, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Technical Info
Wouldn't it be useful to post technical information (block ids, entity ids, etc.) about this release.? Although specific for April 1st, it contains several differences over version 1.5.1 whose information may be useful for future modding developement for 1.6.x (if they decide to implement some things in future)... 187.112.93.182 00:52, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Good idea, but I don't have a copy of the .jar file to grab those IDs
