Jeb said high resolution texture packs will be supported in the future, but will not be in 1.7: (From twitter)

"Yeah it's on my todo list... There's just so many other fun things to do first =)"

1.7 Trailer:


My changelog was more detailed than Notch's.. So i didn't change it lol

[=VG= CCCode]

Updated with new info, read again :)

I hope we can still punch the sheep for wool...

[=VG= CCCode]

They are adding a new spawn system for the animals. If you kill all the animals in a 16x16 block square, they'll never respawn. So punching them now wouldnt be very smart... Idk if this new spawn system is in 1.7, though.

[=VG= LittleTortiaBoy]

well just once punch wont kill it

[=VG= CCCode]

Wool will grow back, and if you keep punching it it will die

(Updated again, added clay bug fix to the list)

[=VG= CCCode]

The guys at Mojang just gave us a ton of new info, updated my list :)

wow, the pistons are amazing.
i wished the had long pistons too, so i could build a drawbridge...

[=VG= CCCode]

You can make draw bridges pirate! You just need a lot of redstone wireing and stuff

[Pvt. Pirate]

i know, but its quite complicated and would be easily destroyed by creepers... i want a drawbridge 4 blocks long over a deep hole, so there's no way of having redstonewire along there.

also i'd like the pistons to be able to crush blocks like they could in the mod version.

Changed the sign from stone to this. Hope you like it CCCode.
