Minecraft Development Build Adds New Way to Spend Experience

October 11, 2012 by Ian Miles Cheong

A new development build for Minecraft lets you spend experience in all new ways.

Minecraft

Mojang has put together a new snapshot of its ever-popular and always-awesome game Minecraft, which adds some new fixes and changes for anyone who downloads this development build.

You can download the .jar version here.

The changes and additions include an ability to hide capes while in-game, customized explosions for Creepers, and an all new way to spend experience points, that’s detailed below:

  • A block that lets you repair enchanted items & combine their enchants as well as rename any item/block

  • WIP: GUI Screenshots, Block Screenshots

  • Experience level costs are high and capped – items will get more expensive to tweak the more they are tweaked – Cost cap is 39 levels.

  • You can't get higher enchantments than normally obtainable, but enchantments stack to their maximum level, so you can still get Efficiency V or Sharpness V on diamond tools

  • Looks like an anvil – Is an anvil.

  • Is affected by gravity – Screenshots – Nope, gravity allows duping and duping is evil. Anvils float instead. – Well, gravity does affect anvils. It also resets orientation and damage.

  • Source links: 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11

  • Becomes damaged by using it – Damage persists in inventory and splits up into 3 categories: Anvil, Slightly Damaged Anvil & Very Damaged Anvil

  • Screenshot of block, Screenshots of GUI

  • Crafted by putting two rows of 3 iron blocks above and below a single, centered iron ingot – via

  • When falling in blocks, it replaces them in some cases – via

  • Does 1.5 hearts of damage for each block it fell, except the first one, to players and mobs it lands on

  • Can be placed in 4 orientations

  • Can't be pushed by pistons to avoid them being able to be duped – via

  • When combining conflicting enchants, only the first one is kept

  • Only items that have not been patched using an anvil before can be renamed without combining them with another item

  • Experience level cost depends on enchantment levels, rarities and wether the item will be renamed
