[Changelog] Soon! Minecraft Beta

[Erlend]

Notch said that once server-sided inventory is done, he will release the beta version!

1 Dec 2010 Notch said the following on his blog:

I will start looking at server-side inventory soon in an attempt to reach beta soon.
I’ll also fix mob jump animations in SMP, the ugly black lights, and make leaves decay again. Once that’s in place, BETA! :-D

Bug update #4, and we're six people in the office now! : The Word of Notch

10 Dec 2010 Notch said the following on his blog:

Last night, I finally got inventory to the stage where it can run without any client side code at all, all through a tiny two-method interface. That means moving it server side is trivial. I expect to have most of it done today, and I feel happy as a duck! :D

So many emotions, so little space! : The Word of Notch

Therefore, i believe its not long until beta comes :)

Well, Notch has earned around 8 million euros from minecraft already. It's not like your 10-15 euros is gonna help much.
