32 view distance on a normal world gives me ~55 FPS. Not bad but could be better. Need to focus on server now though! http://dinnerbone.com/media/uploads/2014-07/screenshots/22_15-01-49_5qR8n9GPzS.png
Update: We’ve released snapshot 14w30c to fix some more crashes, world holes, other bugs and more optimizations.
It’s apparently my birthday today, so you get a present! That’s how birthdays work inside Minecraft.
Todays snapshot is heavily focused on more optimizing, with a pinch of bug fixing and a sprinkle of feature creeping. I think you’ll like it!
Notable changes:
Added Banners! But I’m not going to tell you how they work :)
Made Creeper, Skeleton and Zombie Heads available in survival. How? Don’t ask me!
Major optimizations to client rendering. It’s magical!
Lots of fun bugs fixed. Lighting should behave a little nicer now!
Crafting cuddles now requires one extra hug in the recipe.
We just released a new Pocket Edition version to Google Play, 0.9.3!
This version fixes some last nasty bugs that we introduced in 0.92:
– fixed several crashes that prevented from playing in multiplayer
– fixed a nasty bug that on death might hang the game and/or spawn you really up in the sky
– on Android, you can get more than 3 levels of view distance again
– the game now handles when a world is corrupted and not repairable showing an error screen
– Creepers don’t spam weird sounds anymore
– mobs won’t spawn anymore in peaceful, and existing ones will be removed
– correctly despawning entities on clients
– fixed soft shading on wool tiles
– possibly fixed other lock-ups and crashes
We are going to wait and see how it works before submitting it to App store and Amazon store but we hope to do that tomorrow. Most of the issues should now be fixed but please report things if they break!

こんにちは!
私たちは今、新しいポケットエディションのバージョン 0.9.3 を Google Play の為にリリースしたよ！
このバージョンは 0.92 で紹介していた、いくつかの酷いバグを修正した:
Update: We can never be sure if bending space around time is the right approach until we get feedback from you on the 14w29b snapshot that bends time around space instead. We do that by using the newly implemented threaded render batch system. That’s a lot a fancy sounding words, so if you don’t know what that means, it should improve performance even more. Or crash horribly. But without your feedback, we’ll never know which one is true.
[Bug MC-62116] – Players loses CommandStats{} after Death
[Bug MC-62134] – #players are taking up space on the sidebar display
14w29a update notes
— 14w29a update notes —
This snapshot contains a lot of optimizations specifically targeting render performance. If your system supports it, you can select VBO in the video setting. This enables Vertex Buffer Objects and should increase your fps by 5% to 10% on average. We are especially interested on feedback on performance related issues with this snapshot.
Last week we compressed time and space, that did not work too well for the snapshot. So this week we will try something else and bend space around time. Apart from these highly experimental changes, we also did this:
We’re starting to enter the last phase of our development cycle for 1.8, and so we’ll be focusing on finalizing features, fixing bugs and optimizing the game over the next few weeks as we draw a little closer to something we’d like to eventually consider releasable. Todays snapshot is one such example, bringing (hopefully) some big optimizations to the server and client, a few less bugs to worry about, and a handful of hugs in their place.
Notable Changes:
Servers can now customise network compression in server.properties
The new block model format for resource packs can be considered stable and ready to use.
Enchantments and effects now accept names instead of arbitrary IDs.
Alternative (random) block models specified by resource packs can now be disabled in Video Settings.
Many optimizations to both the server (including singleplayer) and the client.
Update: 14w27b was released to fix some crashes and bugs.
I never trusted Hoppers. Always moving items around, silently, biding their time. And now look at what they’ve gone and done, we have hoppers all over the place! Hop. Hop. Hop.
