Talk:Java Edition Beta

Restore Page
I think that the page could contain valuable information, of course, at the moment it would only be a mirror of the blog, however, it would  be nice to have the bare bones up for the release in five days. We don't know if the beta update will be a big one, but it will still require an  article.

I move we restore the article and contribute what Notch has in his blog. Then in five days, we can add more content.

Flaming
I find it utterly absurd that people are flaming Notch for there being bugs in a beta release. The entire point of this release is for players to test it and report the bugs so that he can then fix them. --Toksyuryel 17:50, 21 December 2010 (CST)

Mobs get new faces...
What? I don't know what this is supposed to mean, none of my mobs changed look...


 * I've removed it. The guy who added it had no idea what he was talking about. (I mean, his other contribution was "If gravel fall on player, he lose health") --RSkin 05:29, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

In 1.6
When beta 1.6 comes out, the maps in it. Will they be like a radar mini map (like the mini map mod), or like you put it in your inventory and you use it like you would a clock or compass? I have been asked by several friends and I was just wondering so I can give them the right answer.

Full game = pay again?
I payed 14.95 Euro for Beta about 1 month ago (version 1.6 or 1.7). The information here says something along the lines of: "pre-Beta (Alpha) players do not have to pay for any major/future updates - this is removed in Beta."

The pre-order site says, "You will also get the full version of Minecraft when it is released," but then vaguely states the opposite in the support section (Support > Account > Premium > What is a Premium account?): " [...] you get access to the full game as well as every future version until the release."

I'm assuming the full game is a major update and I will have to pay again since I did not buy Alpha. Is this true - will I have to buy Minecraft again, once it's released?

 * Interesting piece of information on the minecraft terms of use page: "Purchases during the development of the game are discounted and include the full game upon release." Androo123 07:08, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
