I could find EVERYTHING but sheep! It's driving me nuts that I can't save my spawn point.
eh who knows and now i find everything after i died 50 times from lack of food
First thing I did when I get pre-realese was make a home then hunt for food. I did that until I had 15 cow, 2 pig, and 5 chicken, then I went to do the stuff I would usualy do in the beggining of minecraft.
Anyone else not able to download the update? Not sure if Mojang is being bombarded by everyone updating or just a bug for pushing out the update because whenever I try to log in it says it can't connect to minecraft.net.
My brother wasn't able to, but I was. The only difference was he was using the old launcher and was able to connect when he switched. so if you are still using that it wouldn't hurt to try the new one.
I have noticed (with my experiance and videos) that you spawn near ALOT of water. Sprinting is a nice feature. Although I must say, I hate the food bar.
