I would love a seasonal update with new content for Christmas. I would gladly pay an IAP for it.
Including something like this.
Christmas music
A Christmas tree
Present decorations
A snowman
Stocking decorations
Snow blocks
Christmas lights (instead of torches)

Well something like that anyway, as Christmas is my favourite season and my house is just begging to be decorated for the season. :-)
Just an idea.

Genius. I love it!

A couple of quick runs and you'll have recipes coming out your pixelated ears.

I know THAT - I meant that the update will take all the ones we found already away and start us all with the pre-fab book and I am not sure how many left to find - maybe they will be ones I already found.

It was because of a handful of people that this update is happening but the outcome effects everyone.

@Scarypharoah - how does one save in the iTunes fileshare?

any news regarding a lite version?

30 recipes isn't alot to give to new players especially if it keeps them interested in the game. There is a ton more recipes to find yourself so it's no biggie really and the posits far outweigh the negatives. I'd rather have people keep playing the game and having fun, thereby recommending it to others and making the Developers more loot which hopefully in turn gets us new updates. The game is awesome and I'm glad that the new patch will help more people get into it.

I doubt it will be that big of a hassle, it only took me a bit over 2 days to find all the recipes the first round, and this time the book is already there and ~30 pages filled, but, yes, the principle behind this "fix" is disappointing.

I hope at the very least those of us who didn't need our behinds wiped get to keep the achievement for making the craftbook and all those who come late to the party or couldn't be bothered to punch a few trees will always have a blank spot they can't fill. Kind of petty, yes, but that's where I'm at this morning

The issue seems to be one of those diminishing returns fixes. If you didn't have the patience and perseverance to punch some dirt and trees until you found out how to make your first shovel or axe, what are the odds you're going to have the perseverance to comb three worlds for all their clay to build a giant Charlie Brown statue? Or is the next moan fest from these folks going to be that it takes too long to gather materials and they just want a pure sandbox mode with infinite blocks of all types and no monsters. That seems like it would have been the best approach, just head these types off at the pass: Add in a pure sandbox mode where you just start on a plain of bedrock with all recipes and unlimited blocks & components and just build to your heart's content.

I am on pc, so I right click on a file and copy, then paste to desktop. Works like a charm

I backup my worlds regularly along with the character data

the more I think of this, the more I think I may not update, keep it vanilla helps that I don't mind the tapping to dig.

Well I've already started transferring stuff from my castle (which I'm tearing down again) into my new Christmas village which is in development.

One Christmas village in progress (haven't decided if the castle should stay yet)
The Christmas village could be for the servants. :-)

Bugger if I'm testing that though...


Edit the first:
Aaaaand BAM!!

Just like that, I have replicated this problem. After some testing, I found that if world creation is interrupted by a notification, or closing the app with the home button you will start the game poor with nothing. NOTHING I tell ya!

Have to test it out with loading a world, instead of creating one... Will get back to ya here.
Edit the next:
I can't get it to interrupt loading, it's too quick.

We acknowledged that bug (and tweeted about it) and we already fixed it for 1.0.3.. (that will bring at least stackable and bigger (up to 48 slots) chests)
