    And many many bug fixes too, including one I really liked that could be used to make turbo-firing dispensers in a tiny space. I used that for potions and eggs.

    Not only that, Mincraft has terrible memory and performance issues. I'm really surprised they haven't spent some of their vast money mountain to get it a lot more efficient, even if it means replacing some of the calc intensive java stuff with something offering better throughput, like interpreted BASIC on an 8 bit micro.
