Minecraft got a new update today, August 7, 2012. Instead of the much anticipated upgrade to 1.8 that everyone was hoping for, this update was simply bug fixes. The reason for this has not been revealed, but some think that it is because they haven't yet ported 1.8 over to X-Box and are fixing the bugs for 1.7 because it will be a while before they are finished. Oh well, maybe next month. Now, on to what's been fixed!

• Fix for a crash with pistons at the edge of the world
  
• Fix for a crash due to a thread safety issue usually caused by pistons
  
• Fix for issue with operating pistons on chunk boundaries
  
• Fix for a rendering flicker with active pistons
  
• Fix for rendering slowdown due to lighting issues
  
• Fix for rain going through blocks (raining indoors)
  
• Fix for Marketplace not launching when unlocking skin pack after selecting a locked skin in the trial version of the skin pack
  
• Fix for bug allowing locked skins to be selected if they are beside a free skin
  
• Fix for misaligned player scores when viewed under the "My Score" leaderboard filter
  
• Fix for the constant button press sounds when rotating a character in the skin select screen
  
• Fix for the constant sound effect played on the sign text entry
  
• Fix for thunder not being audible
  
• Fix for third person front view not displaying fire.
  

While I am a bit disappointed that we don't have 1.8 yet, I am glad that these bugs were finally fixed. The sound effect for the signs playing and the non-audible thunder were especially annoying to me lol I'm also glad that they fixed some of the bugs with the pistons.

 

What are you glad that they fixed? Did you even notice any of these bugs? DISCUSS!

Thank GOD! I've been waiting for these to be fixed! I hated being wet even in my house >.> Also, I noticed the skin bug. But I decided to be fair and bought the pack.
