Bug fixes, bug fixes and bug fixes.

- Corrected a block duplication bug when using pistons

- Corrected a redstone torch duplication bug when using pistons

- Corrected a client crash when placing a sign in front of the piston, powering the piston and then removing the block beneath the sign

- Ice blocks are now pushed without causing water streams breaking everything

- Booster rails are no longer being powered magically without a power source

- Pistons connected to the end of a piston-transistor via redstone are now properly closed when the power goes out

- Doors no longer create purple particles

- Hacking clients can no longer edit texts of placed signs in multiplayer

- Changed so that paintings pushed by pistons will pop off

Good, those bugs with the pistons were a tad irritating when trying to build some goodies.

We just released 1.7.3, fixing a few piston bugs. Who knew such a "minor" feature would have so many corner cases, eh? :D

Thankfully, we got a lot of testing help from the Bukkit team. Behind the scenes, we've been testing the "modding api" (which in reality is just the full source code behind a license saying you can only use it to make free stuff, and that everything you make based off that can only be playable by people who have bought Minecraft) with them, and it's going very well.

We need to do some website infrastructure to allow anyone to sign up, but things are progressing nicely.

This explains why 1.7.3 took so long.

Does anyone else find watching people play minecraft more fun than actually playing it, like watching the yogscast? Everytime I watch one of their videos, I get the urge to play minecraft and I'll do so but get bored 15 minutes in...

Yeah i get that some times so i mostly watch live casts on NicoNicoDouga.

Can someone recommend me a Minecraft server host. Only looking for 4-5 slots for now if the option to upgrade it down the road. Looking for something reliable and cheap :)

Wow no one has any recommendations?

LOVED the yogscast of the survivor island... I couldnt get into the other series.. but that one had me watching it like a sitcom...

Hey everyone. Recently I have been inspired by YouTube users such as the Yogscast to do some adventure maps with a buddy or two and record my experience to upload. I was wondering if anybody would want to be that pal? I had a few real-life friends say they would but yeah...I am not willing to stay up until 4AM EST to do that. I can host it on my server (I am in Pennsylvania, so the closer the better ping wise). I realize not everybody wants to be recorded, but I think it will be a unique experience. I am going to try to follow the maps by their rules and not use any mods. I do keep Zombe Mod handy because sometimes maps get broken and you get stuck in areas (i.e. pistons not activating at the right time, etc.). So if anybody would like to join me, add me on Skype: TheCerebralPunk. :)

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
