A new Snapshot is out and about, ready for your testing pleasure!  Here's what is on offer this week:

Snapshot Features:
_______________

  • Added team based functionality to scoreboards
  • Adjusted balancing of bone meal
  • Implemented multiple snow heights
  • Drops more snowballs
  • 4th height fork as slab
  • Crafting recipe for snow

Wait, that's not a very big list of features at all, especially considering how meaty the last few Snapshots have been!  Well, that can only mean one thing: since this Snapshot is mostly bug-fixes and minor tweaks, the launch of the 1.5 Redstone Update is nearly upon us!  Keep an ear to the ground, but in the meantime, give this Snapshot a test run!

Can't wait for the 1.5 update to come out, going to have so much potential with redstone people like hypixel and sethbling.

You can already build any logic gate you want. If you like to have every possible circuit compressed into a single block with an overly complicated crafting recipe, try RedPower.

Interesting.  So, if I'm understanding this right, snow can come in slabs now and it takes 4 slabs to reach the height of a block?

Or am I getting that wrong because then you would have a negative return crafting slabs.

Ok, I'm gonna sound stupid but what does this "[color=#333333][font=Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(242, 248, 251)]4th height fork as slab" mean?  Is that in reference to snow?[/background][/size][/font][/color]

"4th height fork as slab"

What is this?

EDIT: Okay, I suppose it is "4th level of snow functions as slab"

No, it stacks 8 times before it's a full block

Good one... but that was very disappointment as in slow to release about more bugfixes and few add features and improvements.

Actually I don't want to wait in 1.5 pre-release today, if not make it more lucky features of biomes (such as palm tree on the beach) items, blocks and more.

Good to see another snapshot out. I was kind of hoping to see the stair lighting bug fix that jeb said he was working on. Also, there already was different snow heights before, but it wasn't easy to get.

So how do the snow heights work? I just generated a new world, went to a snow biome, and all the snow was normal. I then did /toggledownfall and let it snow for a bit, and the snow on the ground still looks the same.

It's not a weather feature (yet, assuming it might be added).

You can craft snow layers by placing three snow blocks at the bottom of a crafting bench, much like most other slabs. Putting the snow down will place it normally, unless you place it on top of other snow, in which case it will "add" on top of that snow.

It's the "Redstone, minecarts and the usual random minor features"-Update. Terrain changes shouldn't really be expected.

Give yourself one of the snow cover blocks and try placing it on top of the snow cover blocks on the ground.
