Greetings, It's time again for the next sneak peek at the new game client.

Today's peek:
Mouse smoothing.

This in conjunction with the UI hiding feature makes for great screen capturing for minecraft videos.

Here's a simple sample of how the 2 features can combine to make your videos super-smooth. It's also pretty nice to just use this while playing as well!

Ok, so I'm quite excited about the upcoming release of the new game client, so over the next few days, I'm going to leak out some teasers of the new game client for you.

Today's teaser is....

Hi definition textures support!

The following images were taken using my own custom 32x32 texture pack, but I've tested it all the way up to 128x128 textures and it works beautifully. Note: The classic textures are not 100% compatible with the beta textures. Unfortunately this does mean new high res "classic" textures will need to be made, but perhaps they can be partially based off the current beta textures, however a few important tiles are in different positions in the classic texture file.

PS: if you're observant there are some things you'll notice which are missing in these screenshots, and also something a little different about the last one in particular...
