Minecraft Snapshot (12w08a)

New snapshot out! This one doesn't add too much new content but I'll outline what is going on.


  • Upside down stairs added for you builders out there!
  • New world changes and lighting changes (underlying structure)
  • New defensive mob for villages! (they drop iron bars and red roses....they have  50 hearts)

These Iron Golems can also be crafting using 4 solid iron blocks and a pumpkin in a cross pattern!

Well that is all guys leave a comment if you think iron golems should look different. Thanks!

Minecraft Snapshot (12w07a)

A new snapshot is out for minecraft! Minecraft snapshot 12w07a is up for testing and it adds some great new content. (Just make sure you back up your save files for this one...it changes a lot of the structure underneath the game)

  • Village chests now contain better loot
  • Animals now have new AI system 


  • Rare mob drops are decreased :(
  • Villagers now mate and reproduce if their population is down


  • On the processing side, chunks are now generated as cubes (This will greatly increase map generation)
  • Map hight now at 256!
  • New world file format called "Anvil" (changes a lot of generation and processing structuring)
  • New block: Redstone Lanterns-Require redstone energy source to light (Brighter than torches)




This appears to be all for this snapshot! I, personally, am excited for Minecraft 1.2 to come out. I nearly left the game after "The End" was added because there just wasn't enough content to keep me going. But the development team at Mojang seems to picking themselves back up! Lets review, so far they've added jungles, ocelots, a new potion, fireball, new AI, higher terrain, new blocks, rare drops from mobs, chests in villages, jungle wells, and other new tidbits. Minecraft 1.2 is looking to be an exciting update so far. It sure has kept my interest up in the game, let's see what they come up with next.

Minecraft Snapshot (12w06a)

So I come home from school, check the minecraft forum and tadah! A new snapshot is released. Minecraft snapshot 12w06a was posted for testing. Here is a list of features I saw on the page, and some I noticed playing.

  • The weird double door effect is finally fixed...
  • Bug fixes of course
  • Mobs drop rare items! (Metal ingots, weapons, tools, etc.)
  • Villages now have chests with loot

  • Cats make noises. meow
  • Mobs move better in water


  • Most significant change: Zombies can now break down wooden doors on hard mode
  • And of course more villager AI
  • Mine shafts appear to generate floors over caverns now


This snapshot appears to be pretty significant. Rare drops from mobs adds more gameplay, who knows exactly what drops there are! Zombies breaking down doors (maybe player-placed blocks later) is almost a game changer. Moats just got a lot more useful!

If you know noticed any other features, comment, I want to know! Godbless
