1.2 Update is Released!

The 1.2 Update is finally here! There have been a massive amount of changes since the last big update, and Mojang isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Check out the new feature list!

New jungle biome
Added ocelots
Added cats
Added iron golems
New AI for mobs
Tame wolves can have puppies
Villagers will have children if there is room in their village
New map height limit (256 instead of 128)
New items and blocks
Doors have been updated so that double-doors work better with redstone
Added rare drops for mobs
Many other minor tweaks and fixes
Check out the full change log right here

NOTE: Remember, the new map save format has been changed, so it would be a good idea to back up your saves before updating, just in case! In addition, the Minecraft launcher has been updated. The new launcher should properly select 64 bit Java installations for Mac OS X users. Get yours here!

To update, simply run your game client normally, and it will prompt you to update to 1.2.2 - that's all there is to it!

Am I the only one finding pigs stuck in trees? o.o

I was seeing this in the snapshot too, some animals were stuck in trees and some trees werent showing up on SMP, so you would run into the collision of the tree, but it wouldnt be there... it was a bad bug, hope they fixed it with this version. The snapshot is basically the same as this version, just bug fixed.

okay, some "bugs":

-flowers and grass should not appear in tundra, it look weird
-extreme hills biome is just a 10 block high hills
-map is very flat (70-100 block, lol), do something with it!
-tundra next to desert? weeeeeird
-hills in desert sometimes looks like smoothed squares
-i found ravine next to four cave entrances

simply, the new worlds looks weird and looks boring :/

Simply, they're actually going back to more alpha style terrain. This is minecraft.

The biomes has really changes. I have a old map and it was update to anvil by the game. The build was in a swamp, but now all the water around is busy freezing up, think its going to be a snow world soon.

I always hate updates at first because my laptop can barely run Minecraft, on peaceful with normal render distance, without the help of OptiFine. Well hopefully all the modders out there have time to update quickly.

I keep getting lag spikes on my converted server. And my fps has dropped dramatically. I guess this is unavoidable with anvil.

_{Found a bug: I made a tower all the way to the height limit with redstone lamp, and then I placed a lever on the side, turned it on, and the it exited me out of the world and just said "Saving chunks"}

HOW do you tame Cats!!!!!

Raw fish. However do not chase the Ocelots, they will run away. They need to come to you (unlike wolves).

Very Smart Update I'd Say. i like the red stone lamp too, it can be used to create horror maps by repeatedly switching it on and off.
