Minecraft Snapshot 13w11a



/media/img/Minecraft-Snapshot-13w11a-1.jpg
1.5 is barely out of the oven and we already have a new snapshot ready? This is not a 1.6 snapshot, but rather a 1.5.1 bugfix snapshot… Mojang team hope to be able to release the 1.5.1 update next week
Bug fixes:
  • Ender Dragon can still grief stuff like cobblestone and chests even if the gamerule mobGriefing is set on false.
  • White stitching on polygon edges / White lines or black dots between blocks
  • Unable to combine enchanted books for a higher level enchant.
  • Hopper doesn’t try to place items from other slots if unable from first.
  • Fire doesn’t show on 8 layered snow and hopper
  • Long scoreboard objective titles can be offset screen
  • Breaking a Container with Items that is connected via a solid block with a Comparator does not update the Comparator
  • Falling Block entities start visually falling from 1 block higher than they were placed
  • Paintings popping out / cannot place new ones
  • … and a few Minecraft Realms changes

  • Fixed a bunch of bugs
  • Improved performance
  • Notable: Falling blocks no longer glitch one step
  • Notable: White stitching between blocks should be less frequent
  • Notable: Crash on Mac OS X on “OpenGL Function Not Supported”
  • Notable: Unable to place paintings
Mojang team intend to publish the release on Thursday, unless something nasty happens, or Searge of MCP asks us to wait for them to catch up.

Minecraft 1.3.2 Download



/media/img/Minecraft-1-3-2-Download-1.jpg
A few days ago, it was possible to get the 1.3.2 update for bug-testing: now it is fully live! Be sure to update your Minecraft client from the launcher – it should prompt to update automatically, but if it does not, you can update manually from the launcher itself. Simply press the Options button on the opening screen, then “Force Update” in the menu that pops up. Easy!
The 1.3.2 update mainly consists of bug-fixes – two in particular being the random suffocation bug, and randomly falling out of the nether – no new features were added in 1.3.2 beyond that.
But…What About the Snapshot?!
This week’s Snapshot was put on hold, to avoid confusion between a Snapshot test release, and the patch that went live today. Still, if you’d like something to whet your appetite for updates in the interim, Mojang’s own Dinnerbone has something for you to chew on:

Also, this teaser image from Jeb, fresh from the presses – possible future invisibility?

Changelogs:
  • Added sideways logs in trees
  • Fixed a bug that caused players to fall out of the world when going into the Nether
  • Fixed a bug that caused random suffocation damage in water

Minecraft Snapshot 12w39a Download



/media/img/Minecraft-Snapshot-12w39a-Download-1.jpg
Please note that the smooth lightning is a bit borken on stairs/slabs. But we are working on it!
So here is the 12w39a changelog:
  • Lighting system overhauled.
  • Lots of blocks interact correctly with lighting now (stairs, slabs)
  • Few sound tweaks
  • Fixed witch being white for some
  • More bugfixes & slight tweaks!
* The client now comes with both the client-side and the server-side JAR files. The file called “minecraft.jar” should be in your “.minecraft/bin” folder as usual, and the “minecraft_server.jar” file should be in a folder called “.minecraft/server”.
Installation:
  1. Close Minecraft.
  2. Go to Minecraft.jar. You can find this in Windows at %appdata%/.minecraft/bin.
  3. Copy your Minecraft.jar file and back it up somewhere else.
  4. Move the newly downloaded Minecraft.jar into the /.minecraft/bin folder, replacing the old version.
  5. Open up Minecraft and have fun!
I would recommend backing up your old Minecraft.jar somewhere so that you can keep all of your current mods. You can do this by just copying Minecraft.jar and pasting it into another folder.
