Snapshot Not Out - 1.3.2 Out Instead
A few days ago, it was possible to get the 1.3.2 update for bug-testing: now it is fully live! Be sure to update your Minecraft client from the launcher - it should prompt to update automatically, but if it does not, you can update manually from the launcher itself. Simply press the Options button on the opening screen, then "Force Update" in the menu that pops up. Easy!
The 1.3.2 update mainly consists of bug-fixes - two in particular being the random suffocation bug, and randomly falling out of the nether - no new features were added in 1.3.2 beyond that.
But...What About the Snapshot?!
This week's Snapshot was put on hold, to avoid confusion between a Snapshot test release, and the patch that went live today. Still, if you'd like something to whet your appetite for updates in the interim, Mojang's own Dinnerbone has something for you to chew on:
Also, this teaser image from Jeb, fresh from the presses - possible future invisibility?
I think it's just cobblestone fence, which actually looks pretty good. If it IS vertical slabs though, I would be able to check the second-to-last feature off my wishlist.
Seems like adding vertical slabs shouldn't be too difficult for them, given that they could be placed exactly the same way stairs are currently placed.
DinnerEtho or EthoBone, anyone?
This is a good thing.
As to invisiblity, will the name be hidden? Perhaps it's only good against mobs? You can finally hug that creeper, perhaps...
Oh, and I look forward to those new features. Actually, unless it's there and I've missed it, a way to copy the maps would be nice too.
Just my thoughts,
Poocho

Welcome to the last snapshot.
although invisibility could be used for griefing....
Anything can be used for griefing and there's always mods to reduce it.
It might only work on newly generated worlds, but I'm just guessing.
Invisibility: Pvp pwnage.
Nightvision: Finally, i'm able to build at night without spamming torches to see.
Frames: Yay mounted clocks! Also yay easier chest organization!
Cobblestone Fences: They look amazing. Now do brick fences!
Yes, I'm whining. Deal with it.
What?
Rare? Just because you never go to the nether (apparently) doesn't make a bug rare...
Shoulda checked the 1.3.1 thread, to see just how common these two bugs were.
Maybe if you whined less you would have heard about those bugs?

THANK YOU! For removing that Nether bug! While I admit the water damage was avoidable, the Nother, well that was hurting gameplay. (Potion creation, light creation...) Not to mention losing everything one was holding, if a Nether visit happened...
Unfortunatly, I will never ever play 1.3
Why play a less-than (content) game, when I can have mobs with armor. And soon to be framable items!?
Not a complaint in the slightest, since the snappers tend to be bad assery, compared to stable releases...
