Naturally generated melon blocks
Groups of melons appear to be generated with the world, like with pumpkins. I think this is a new feature of the snapshot. Seed is 1 and co-ords are shown on screenshot. I have no melon blocks in my inventory. --Minecreeper ( Talk ) 17:54, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

This is part of 1.7.2's Update that Changed the World (it did): I'm using it (for stability, despite all the cool snapshot /pre-release stuff). I found 2 batches of Melons, and I see that like you, I found them only in Jungle Biomes, where they initially-spawn, as of that UpDate.

I guess we don't only get these from Villager, Trading, now if on the surface, of the Overworld (formerly these were only in AbMS Chests, possibly Strongholds, I don't know; where also Pumpkin Seeds, too are to be found with the Melon Seeds). Yilante 50.1.134.10 19:33, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

You now cannot get them from villager trading, though you can get melons from Abandon Mine shafts. --KnightMiner (talk 14:23, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Villagers And ("whose") Crops, now?
I was wondering if harvesting /cutting Crops by Villagers means they're no-longer available to Players. If they just "disappear," or even if the Villagers themselves start-offering such "harvested" Crops in Trading, instead of just-Trading -for, them.

I sort of doubt they are being given-freely to Players, for no effort. Though that would certainly be yet-another great reason to keep Villagers around and take care of them. Yilante 50.1.134.10 19:31, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Ahh.. the snapshot /pre-release has been up-dated... Not the Update 1.8, I'm saying, but Changed: I checked it out. Just when it looked like the one Farmer-type Villager was a "Pillager," of Crops, just for itself, according to the Page notes (the up-date'd, part), on this-Still 14w04a, it shares the wealth, like a good worker (with its others)!

Of course, now I wonder if they eat Bread? Ah well, they "store" it, so perhaps it goes SomeWhere, even if not into Trade offers (Yet?)!! Yilante 50.1.134.10 07:43, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Doors are now added to the nearest village
Not sure I understand this - can someone explain please?

Cursor new feature in this snapshot?
When in F3, the cursor shows red/green - I think it is indicating direction, and maybe range...

Also, the direction you're travelling in is in bold?

Pistons pull more than one slime block if it's in a line?
Apparently it also pulls one block directly at the end of the line 175.143.253.39 12:13, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Villagers allegedly collect crops, sow seeds, and bake bread?
That's a big "citation needed" here... I havent't seen anything the like, all the villagers do is "reap", ie. hit fully grown wheat, then leave it to rot. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.217.62.149 (talk)&#32;23:57, 24 January 2014 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * They need to detect a village, some youtube videos review/make stuff with snapshot features have shown this feature. Also note this is a snapshot, which comes with a few bugs. Also note villagers will sometimes eat the food they harvest to breed. --KnightMiner (talk 03:09, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
