Snapshot 12w01a is Ready For Testing!

Mojang has revealed this week's Snapshot! We have an exciting list of changes, including the following:

New language translations. We changed from using Google Docs to a new system, so these may still contain a lot of errors or missing texts. Please check the Minecraft forums (language section) for more info.
Slightly smoothed color transitions between biomes
Reduced brewing time to 20 seconds
Decreased randomness of Enchantment Tables
Changed colors of spawning eggs to more represent the mobs they spawn
Made biomes slightly more varied (hills in forests and deserts, beaches)
Added world type options (currently only super-flat and default)
Removed collision box from ladders
Updated fence gate collision box to align with fences

Mojang went on to add the following about the highly anticipated modding API:

Quote from Mojang »
We are currently still preparing work for the mod API. The API is going to take some time to implement properly, so we ask for patience :smile.gif: Also, Jon is currently working on improving the AI for mobs to make it easier for us to add new behaviors. The first goal is to add breeding support to wolves, and then move on to more useful / interesting villagers.

One almost wonders if future wars betweeen villages will be possible, or even quests.

So i went into the nether for the first time ever using this update and all the pig men instantly were onto me they just attacked me and i didnt even touch any of them i had to defend my self and run out of there it was a scary moment but all in good time. Idk if you really wanted the pigmen to be hostile until after they were hit.

Not sure if this is where i post bugs.

When u pour water over slanted tracks they don't pop off, they just disappear.

And Notch should add pig fat or grease so we can oil the annoying squeaky doors and chests.

Anyone else notice that biomes are smaller? Kind of disappointed with that. Every biome I've seen is at most half the size of what it was in 1.0.

Beaches looks a little ugly, they are just dirt block converted into sand.
But it's getting there.
Keep it up jeb!

Now I HAVE to put ladders at the top of the block.
No offence but that was cheap.

That's supposedly a bug, and will get fixed, possibly in the next snapshot, according to one report I've seen, haven't seen any official confirmation of that yet though. DocM77's "Dear Doc" video released earlier today had information saying that supposedly they had to change the spawning rate of the zombie pigmen, and make them rarer. I'd like to know if his information is accurate or not.

Cheers ...

This is a joke with the mob api, it will ruin so many mob systems, but there's still some of us out there who will beat this, why can't they just leave minecraft alone, add some new things, like villager purposes, but dont change things you dont need to....

Wow, Minecraft is actually starting to go back uphill again!And I like the sound of the upcoming stuff. I'm sort of glad Jeb took over to tell you the truth. Notch was great in his golden days, but he's starting to lose a bit of enthusiasm.
