Minecraft 1.4.2 Update!

YAY~!  The 1.4.2 Update for Minecraft is finally out, and I'm especially excited about the bolded items (FINALLY!!  NEW TYPES OF FOOD!!), but also curious about how the anvils, witches, bats, leather dying, and new potions will work out.  So many things to discover!  But most of all, WE CAN HAVE PICTURES OF POTATOES ON OUR WALLS NOW (whether normal, baked, or poisonous)!

 ....

Now the only trick is trying to actually finding time to play.  orz  

Here's some of the highlights of what I did really enjoy during the super short time (less than 30 minutes, urk) when I got to play with some of the new update content:

When you hit a frame with an item in it, both the original item
and the picture frame (now with item sprite of that item) will fall to the ground.

flower pots!  

Wooden buttons

Giving your rustic cabin an even more natural touch

Mmmmm, pumpkin pie...  Apple pies next, please!!

Golden carrot~  Yes, I'm obsessed with the item frames...

Odd 1.4.2 glitch where a person going to sleep will levitate and
float-bob awkwardly in their bed.   

 Can't wait to have fun exploring the other new update features!!
