It’s time for the weekly snapshot. Mojang is continuing to work on separating the client from the server, and has fixed a bunch of stuff related to that transition. What else got added? Check it out below:
- Added cocoa plants to jungles
- Added a “large biomes” world type
- Added specific names for the different sandstone and smooth stone blocks
Improvements continue to pour into each snapshot with every passing week, and the new, improved SSP/SMP system continues to be streamlined, adopting a feel not unlike what MCX360 currently uses to connect players to one-another. Want to try this sleek update out?

Client: Download here
Server: Download here
The client now comes with both the client-side and the server-side JAR files. The file called “minecraft.jar” should be in your “.minecraft/bin” folder as usual, and the “minecraft_server.jar” file should be in a folder called “.minecraft/server”.
Agreed.
Also, it seems like there aren't any game breaking bugs this time around, which is generally a plus.
Large Biomes, especially, sounds cool.
Nice Updates! KEEP GOING!!
Go Mojang!
Slightly better answer: Make sure you don't have MC or the server running. This may mean opening up the task manager and killing any currently running Java processes. Odds are the server the game started in the background is still kicking about and hanging onto file handles. If you want to prevent that from happening use /stop in your single player game before exiting it. (Once they finish working on this, that should no longer be needed but for now it's a good idea.)
they only seem to attach to jungle wood blocks, so better find a jungle!
argh! Mojang you temp me so much.
