Minecraft Snapshot Week 25

We’re still focusing on bug fixing so we eventually can release the 1.3 patch. The biggest problem right now is that since the game is hosting a server in the background, the game requires more hardware resources than before. We’re trying to figure out a way to solve that, but here’s a weekly snapshot for now:

• Added a menu with options for opening your single-player world
• The multi-player menu now scans for LAN servers (single-player worlds)
• Villagers will remove trade options after the option has been used 3-15 times
• Added wooden stairs for the remaining three wood types
• Corrected Ender Chest storage (no longer whiped on respawning)
• A lot of smaller changes and fixes

Good to know Jeb is fixing up the bugs right and adding features to Minecraft well. Also, I'd like to see one of those desert temple traps in action.

Me too! Haven't really played with the snapshots much though.

Neither have I, I don't even have the jar!

The sk89q launcher makes it easy to switch between jars but I'm just too lazy to test the snapshots out

Well, at least you have the jar! I haven't downloaded it.

I don't have the jar

Bugfixes are always nice. I really think that the amount of content in Minecraft has been rapidly increasing after Jeb took over the development. It's always nice to see new things being added in to the game, and fixes being made for the consumer. Does anyone know when the next full update is coming out? I'm downloading this right now, but i want to play it with my friends.

There's currently no ETA of when 1.3 will be released, dreamchaser

You don't have the jar?! O.o I wonder who else hasn't downloaded... Minebot has provided one.
