I should start updating the OP…
…and Painterly sucks.
I don’t use it… I use Mixcraft sometimes, though.
OP almost dome guise.
That texture pack looks nice, but the video’s removed and … I still don’t know how to use it. Thanks though.
Also what mods and tools do you guys use?
can’t wait for Halloween! I will play minecraft constantly until my eyes bleed!
I love this game. I just spent an hour and a half in a giant cave system… got over 150 iron… some gold… a bunch of red stone… didn’t know where the hell I was going! I ended up coming right back out about 15 tiles away from where i came in.
Yeah I don’t want the torches to become temporary. I wonder could I refuse the update?
you could… but you don’t want to. Seriously you would be missing out on hell and there will be lanterns.
Well…only if the lanterns are really easy to make like the torches. Plus the new block types seem exciting! 
Keep the client your using now, and then download the new one. You’ll be able to switch back and forth with the 2 types of games!
I’m also thinking he might just make it a whole new game type with a different name.
Also, you should add maps to your post, Fire.
Add this:
MAPS
Broville Big city!
The Labyrinth Like a test chamber… This map is gonna be so awesome with portals
Skylands Only map to have its own website. Floating Islands, like the newest Zelda game.
EDIT:
Stuff about the lantern:
- Notch is introducing lanterns in place of torches as infinite light sources.
- Lanterns MAY need steel to craft. We DON’T know yet what’s their crafting pattern.
- Lanterns MIGHT need material found in Hell.
- Notch is replacing ALL previous torches with lanterns, regardless if they are on chests, on walls or inventory. You DO NOT need to freak out about all your torches.
- We DON’T know if lanterns will be able to be placed on ceilings.
- Torches constructed and placed after the update will burn out after a while.
- We DON’T know how long they will last.
- We DON’T know if burnt torches will emit a faint light or if they will be completely dark.
- You will need to use flint and steel to relight burnt torches.
I wish I could use those maps. And I have no idea about the client stuff.
But the game is fun as it is already! 
Too fun even.
4CHAN ATTACKED MINECRAFT AGAIN!
description somewhere?
I see that it’s on Notch’s blog… but it doesn’t tell much.
…O_O
ಠ_ಠ
Fire? you know what it is, don’t you?
I’ve seen it before, but I don’t who what/where that is…
Wow.
