For a moment, I thought this thread was full of illiterate monkeys...
Then it occurred to me that maybe those asking what RC2 means, saw the words Release Candidate 2 and still didn't understand it's meaning??
It means that this is the second version of MineCraft in the process of finalize the "Full Release" version. It is undoubtedly intended for testing, just like all previous versions of the game. Mojang crowd-sources their R&D department... meaning that in essence, we all work for Mojang, and those of us who have been playing, testing, making suggestions, etc. are partially responsible for the resulting epicness that MineCraft has and will become.
1. Go into your bin folder and delete your current minecraft.jar
2. Download the minecraft.zip file from the link above
3. Place the file into your bin folder
4. Rename the file minecraft.jar
5. Start Minecraft
6. Profit
A Release Candidate is a version of software (in this case, Minecraft), that the developers are pretty sure (read: hoping) is going to be what they release. Unless we find bugs.
It's a candidate for release. Like Obama was a candidate for president a few years ago. It wants to be the real game unless we vote it down with bug reports.
BUGGGG,When I killed the ender dragon something appeared,not the fountain or the egg or etc..someting away from the end which If I try to go to it vanishes but from a distance I can see it,it's very bright I will post pitures soon enough

been happening since pre release 6 and i have seen it my self a long with other peoples videos.
not sure what it is though.
What a riveting adventure its been for us all. I'd love to thank Jeb, Notch, C418, Minecraftchick, and anyone else that in ANY WAY contribute to the games development. Even the hopeful modders who pride themselves or are prided on by others for their hard work and dedication to improve minecraft by the minute. I was glad to be part of minecrafts evolution, and its a game nobody can ever forget. Im sure I speak for everybody at that point, no matter where the game has turned, it has stood its ground and was constructed sturdier and mightier among every other game developed in our time. It fits every catagory. It can be Mystery, Fiction, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, anything you make it, it is. Unlike other games, IT HAS NO LIMIT! Nobody can forget their first minecraft download, that first exciting and mysterious update, their first diamond, stronghold, dungeon, ravine, mineshaft, cavern, or lava lake. Once its there, its there, in your pixelated Steve head that those zombies try to devour out of you, skeletons try to shoot off of you, spiders try to poison dead, creepers try to blow straight off, silverfish try to dig into, and endermen try to pluck apart and drop around. Minecraft has many memories, many ways to play, and many different possibilities. That is minecraft. Actually, thats not EVEN minecraft. Thats just a small part of it. The rest can go on infinitly, i'd like to, once again, thank everyone. The developers for their commitment, the modders for their contribution, the members for their amazing Digital Diamonds and featured architechure of the future, and even those little griefers who tear apart your home giving you reason to restart. Thank you, everyone, thank you Mojang, thank you Minecraft.
