Over the last week in Snapshots, we have seen a lot of exciting things coming up - Ender Chests, villager trading, the merging of SSP and SMP modes into a fluid, single system - what else could possibly be added to this pile of goodies to make it even better? We can think of one thing - tripwires.
Nathan "Dinnerbone" Adams uploaded this video showing off some experiments with tripwire - it appears that it can be set off by crossing the tripwire boundary (as expected), as well as being set off by "using" it much as one would use a switch or button. What other awesome features are on the horizon? We'll keep you posted as they develop!

A Minecraft Wedding
Anyone in attendance at Minecon 2011 will undoubtedly remember - Matt's proposal to Asia on-stage, alongside Mojang! Their marriage is now official, and the wedding ceremony was something any dedicated Minecraft fan could be proud of - Minecraft-themed Jones Soda, which features many of the in-game items and creatures; a number of high-quality character model statues that were on the showroom at Minecon including Steve, creeper and more. There were also a number of hand-made pieces for their ceremony made by the happy couple and friends, such as Minecraft trees and other bits of the world. Other gems included a Minecraft-diamond necklace, and - something no Minecraft party should be without - a Minecraft cake.
From everyone here at the Minecraft Forum, we would like to congratulate Matt and Asia on having easily the most awesome wedding in history, and wish the happy couple well!

Who told you they were adding horses? I keep hearing this "omg the next snapshot has horses" (like it's already dead set implemented) out of nowhere from random people? Where is your source?
I hardly think of the SSP/SMP merge as an "exciting" "goodie" and the idea it's "fluid" is a lie.
In fact, I look forward to a third-party fix for this in the unfortunate case that the merge remains. Mojang really screwed up with it.
All your telling us is that you don't like it. Why don't you like it? What harm do you think it will do?
ah well, we will just have to wait and see what the future holds.
And in a future update, YES, WE'LL BE ABLE TO FUC**NG PAUSE THE GAME! But by now, why you don't simply quit and enter it later?
Although the fact that trying to break the trip wire causes the redstone to go off momentarily makes it harder to dismantle once noticed.
But and if someone wants to put it on a non-stone looking block? It turns completely visible.
On most surfaces it isnt that noticeable and o white wool or snow it should practically be invisible.
MC is getting better and better (in my opinion).
^^^^
But yes, tripwires are awesome, time to make some "rigged dispensers"!
Also, nice wedding!
And congrats to the lucky couple!
