Server: Download
Yes, modders and texture pack artists can breathe a sigh of relief: the 1.3 Pre-Release is finally here! Rather than cover every nuance of the previous Snapshots, let's look at the most salient changes in 1.3:
- The game now runs an internal server in single-player mode
- The single-player server can be shared on LAN, with LAN server detection
- Made it possible to use client-side commands by enabling cheats (this is defaulted as disabled for old worlds)
- Added an optional “bonus chest” to get started quicker
- It’s now possible to trade with villagers. Added emeralds as a currency
- You gain enchantment orbs from other tasks than just destroying monsters. Max enchantment level has been decreased to 30
- Servers can automatically suggest and distribute texture packs
- Added new world map elements (does not need a new map, but they’ll only appear in new areas)
- Added cocoa beans
- Added an Ender chest
- Added tripwire
- Stairs and levers can be placed up-side-down
- Wooden logs can be placed sideways
Additionally, Mojang is hosting a special contest! What is it about? Well, let's hear what they have to say:
That is pretty sweet! Think you have what it takes to make a 30-second 1.3 commercial? Give it a shot - you just might win!

MCX360 Fix Incoming - Pistons & More
MCX360 will be getting a fix in the near future, with a particular focus on piston-related crashes, some rendering issues, and a host of other minor bugs. The fix may take up to two weeks for deployment, but once it does, it will automatically update the MCX360 client on its own. Keep an eye here for future updates!
I ran into the same problem, but Kahr said he's going to try to fix mcpatcher tonight sometime.
As for me, I'll just stick with w30e until either the full 1.3 comes out or MCPatcher gets updated.
Cheers!

Levers upside down? And weren't stairs already upside down in 1.2.5? Wtf?
Just saw what's all about, is just levers upside down and stairs go upside down if you click the top half of the block just like slabs
My Blaze Spawners are showing pigs in them, I thought that bug got ironed out. My other spawners are showing what they actually spawn, it's just the Blaze Spawners that are showing pigs. I just went back to it in my world and now it's showing a Blaze... I dunno.Actually, it seems when you log out of your world then log back in, the spawners will turn to pigs.
Oh, really?
When I played 12w30e, there was such little 'smp' lag that it wasn't even noticeable AT ALL. SSP is completely fine. It's the computer you're using to run it with that's awful.
When will this be fixed
when the world is loading there are holes in the ground this is one of the biggest ones I found. usually only happens when you first spawn
Welcome to SMP, single player is a shell on top of it now so that statement applys.
This is chunk lag, its your friend. Use it to find caverns, lava, dungeons, etc.
I see you are flying around on creative. If you get closer it prioritizes loading of those bits a little faster.
I will never get used to seeing/saying that. i want my ssp back!!!!!! i dont want my asshole of a brother intruding on my world(he can and will turn on the lan server when he gets the chance)
I just checked all that u siad and everything seems to be in such order
Not going to happen. Everything has been pushed into SMP. Unless your computer is extremely old, though, you should still be able to play fine with one machine. (My machine is quite old, athlon 64 dual core w/ 2G ram and I run it fine.) You don't have to host your own server, it's done internally. Not sure if you knew that. People are complaining because it's introducing multiplayer bugs and glitches.
He can't get on unless you start the LAN server....
1. You can already place stairs up-side-down.
2. 'Added Cocoa beans', should it be cocoa plants?
