Bugs:
- There is a visual bug when trying to push someone off a cliff, they fall off then warp back.
- Sometimes when pushing someone off a cliff they do fall - you are not meant to be able to push people as of 12w23a.
- It appears to be a server-side feature only, yet has not been applied to the client so far, as you can still push mobs or other entities in singleplayer.
- It also appears to be a PvP-only feature. In SMP, you can still push mobs and entities too.
- When standing still in the same place as another player the other player glitches about.
- Player occasionally gets hurt from touching a wall mainly when being pushed by water into a block.
- Player can be damaged when standing in front of a villager attempting to open a door. This may tie into the suffocation bug listed above, or might be something with the way the villager opens the door.

Mod API Feedback Wanted
EvilSeph wants your feedback for the upcoming Mod API! Head on over to his thread by clicking here, read through the proposals, and give your feedback!
Seriously? -.-
Okay, hope this gets into that thick skull of yours.
Once you update to 1.3 you can ONLY play singleplayer unless there is a Multiplayer server compatible for 1.3, Because almost all the server owners haven't updated their server yet because Bukkit has updated to 1.3, so in that case you either need to wait for them to update or downgrade.
But you can just wait if you want All those new features will make me not play Multiplayer for weeks maybe!
1. has tried most snapshots
2. has a "decent" computer
3. and also from someone who has a crappy computer (5-15 fps)
how is the performance affected at all?
also any real difference between this and the previous snapshots?
Thats a nice trade route you got there!
If I were you I would just build a rail way from your base to the villages in the overworld, and keep it that way untill maybe a 1.3.2 comes out that fixes all these bugs that only some people get. Besides, it would be mighty fun to ride that thing!
I wish you the best of luck there!
i tried everything i know
"force update it"
"delete the stuff in your minecraft folder"
SOMEBODY PLEEEAAAASE HEEEEEELLLLP!!!!!
A new ver of Minecraft...and it runs better than the last.
Who knew.
You can't log into the server you normally play on if they didn't update to 1.3.1 yet, obviously
I have a slight increase in fps once everything is loaded on a 4 yr old pc. I run about 30 fps when things are loading, standing still with no major chunk updates going on I will even see 90's for fps. average in the 40s-50s I would guess.

I am just here to post that,
For all you saying 1.3.1 was too rushed:
I seem to recall, yesterday everyone super excited for the 1.3 update when Sacheverall posted it was coming in several hours.
Everyone seemed happy, but impatient. For the past month since Jens tweeted the plan was to release 1.3 on August 1st, I've seen many people (even experienced players) complain that it was too long of a wait. Saying that 'they wait so long to update but with hardly anything in the updates'.
Today, I look and see 80% of the community whos responded to this forum, have been complaining about this release. Many said that Minecraft 1.3 was rushed too fast, where Jens just wanted to get it over with. However this was not the case. Jens himself said 1.3 was the longest patch in Minecraft. It took four or five months for them to fully complete this.
To all you saying the merge was unnessesary:
The modding API has been planned for quite some time now. Over a year already. As soon as Notch gave the development of Minecraft to Jens, Jens said the first thing he is going to work on is the Mod API. He was planning to release the modding API in 1.3, but then realized that would take too long, and that he would just release 1.3 so the community could get the newer features faster. The Mojang team then decided that the Mod API would require every client to be a server. This is because the mods will, instead of being mods, will be plugins. Which if you haven't heard of, is like a mod for a server. Normally developed by Bukkit. So if the plugins are for servers, then everything would have to be a server.
Aswell as that, there are many other benefits for the merge. It will let the Mojang Team kill SMP and SSP bugs way quicker, for they will not have to update both the client AND the server; there will only be one.
And last but not least, ALL mods will be for server. This means that you wont find a mod that says "ONLY for SSP! NEVER for SMP!". ALL mods will be for SMP, which gives people who play on servers the benefit.
For all you saying 1.3.1 is too buggy and laggy:
In the past few snapshots in the 30th week of the year, the Mojang team was killing major bugs. By the prerelease, there were still some minor, and rare bugs which haven't been fixed yet. This might include world not generating properly, which is still rare, but happens.
If these bugs get too drastic they will probably release a 1.3.2 down the road. The same goes for the lag issues.
Me, myself, I have luckily found none of these bugs, and Minecraft plays smoothly still. But if your computer is crappy, theres nothing you can do about it
To all you whining you want to go back to 1.2.5:
As I said yesterday before the release, aswell as in a topic of my own, I gave all you clear directions to backup your 1.2.5 jars in case something happened. However, not all of you might have seen my post, or payed attention to it. Which is not your fault. But you can always use a program that lets you downgrade your Minecraft versions.
For all you telling the complainers to STFU:
While people complaining and whining wont get them anywhere, and I may sometimes agree that it becomes annoying, they still want to play Minecraft and enjoy it aswell. But hey, lag happens. Thats just how life is. You just deal with it untill it gets fixed.
I tried to reach everyones veiwpoint on the matter, and came to the conclusion: Minecraft 1.3.1 may have some annoying aspects to it. But you can't do anything about it. You just deal with it untill the matter gets resolved. You just try to enjoy the game as it is, not complaining about it. That wont get you anywhere.
I hope I was of some help here, and that everyone may calm down now!
Lets just play Minecraft and enjoy it without complaining! ^v^
bonus chest is in the more world options when your about to make the world, and the adventure doesn't let you destroy blocks for a more RPG type mods and other uses.
You deleted the stuff in the minecraft folder?! No wonder it doesnt work! Just force update it and start playing! lol
