I think the update is great (apart from the new sounds), but how long can these small updates keep people playing for? This game is not going to stay entertaining to players for much longer if it takes months to develop such a small update!
Server IPs can now be hidden individually when editing or adding a server
Server version is now displayed left of the connection bars
Server ping tooltip now shows if the server and client have mismatching protocol versions
Mismatching servers can't be joined
Improved settings menu
Renamed Chat Settings to Multiplayer Settings
Added an option for cape-owners to hide their capes in-game
Added Fullscreen and VSync toggles
Improved F3 mode
The piechart is now shown when using shift+F3 instead of vice versa
Added the cardinal direction and the degree value to the f value indicating the direction the player is facing
Now shows which chunk and where in that chunk the player is in on X and Z values
Pressing P while holding F3 will toggle the auto-pause when the Minecraft window loses focus
Pressing H while holding F3 will toggle detailed item descriptions, which additionally show item id, damage value, color code, tool/armor/weapon damage and map zoom level and scale on the tooltip
Preset format with example: 95;35:2;2x20;1;stronghold – 95 is the format version, followed by a semicolon and the layer information. Every new layer is separated by a comma and must consist of the block id (35) and can additionally have :2 appended to specify 2 as the data value. Before that, you can put 2x to specify that this layer should be put 2 times. After a semicolon follows the biome id. After another semicolon follow all structures to be generated, including their options.
Continuously glows and gives a selected status effect to players within 16 blocks while beaming a beacon of light directly upwards (as bright as glowstone)
Activated by building a solid pyramid of iron/gold/emerald/diamond blocks underneath and selecting an effect
The cheapest configuration requires 9 blocks, while the best configuration requires 164 blocks
Has to be directly exposed to skylight to work
Building square platforms of increasing size and the same material per layer will activate it and increase range and status effect selection
Viable materials are iron, gold, diamond and emerald blocks
Changing selected status effects costs 1 emerald, diamond, gold ingot or iron ingot
Unlockable effects, with increasing amount of required layers of blocks required:
Speed and Haste
Resistance and Jump Boost
Strength
When all 4 layers of blocks underneath are built correctly, a second status effect can be chosen
This second status effect is Regeneration or tier II of the previously chosen effect
Effects given by the Beacon will have less intrusive particles than others on the screen, such as those of potions
Used for repairing and combining enchanted items as well as for renaming any item/block for experience levels
Tools can also be repaired using one piece of their material
Enchantments that are the same are upgraded by one level as long as they are both the same level and the higher level exists
Conflicting enchantments will be removed and only the first one will be kept
Becomes damaged from using and dropping it - Damage persists in inventory and splits up into 3 categories: Anvil, Slightly Damaged Anvil & Very Damaged Anvil
Can be placed in 4 orientations, but can't be moved by pistons
Experience level cost depends on enchantment levels & rarities, whether the item will be renamed and whether the item has been used with an anvil before - Maximum experience level cost is 39 levels, unless in Creative mode[25]
For a more detailed explanation on how enchantments are combined using the anvil, see the Anvil mechanics page
Is affected by gravity and does 1 heart of damage to mobs and players it falls on per block it fell, excluding the first one - Players killed by a falling anvil cause the death message "Player was squashed by a falling anvil" to appear in chat
After spawning, it flashes blue, builds up health, grows slightly and is invincible for a few seconds - Then it explodes and starts attacking players and mobs
Each head can fire projectiles, so called Wither Skulls, at different targets - Projectiles explode on impact
Shoots two kinds of projectile - a blue one from the little heads, targeting mobs and a dark one from the big head targeting players
When hit by projectiles, players get the ‘’Wither II’’ effect, which acts like a slower poison effect that can kill and turns affected players' health bars' hearts black
Constantly regenerates health
Gains Wither armor when taken down to half health, making it immune to arrows
Will now rarely, depending on difficulty, spawn with the ability to pick up armor, head wear, items, blocks, weapons and tools [50] - Armor and tools & swords are equipped automatically and will be exchanged for better gear when possible [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59] - Items that are picked up will have a 100% chance of dropping after dying[60] - When killed, they drop what they are holding [61][62]

Changed and added some trades to counteract emerald farming and improve gameplay
Will show particle effects indicating a change of liking towards a player
Also, I've been whaling at a zombie farm -- 30 levels on the first run, another 23 on my next (after hitting the enchantment table), and I've got 2 iron ingots, a shovel, and not one carrot or potato.
And just to cap it, I just spotted a zombie glitching into the dirt floor. Also, the anvil is pink.
ETA: OK, finishing up the second run, I find I have in fact gotten a carrot and two potatoes. Too bad neither of them has an icon... except for the item count and hovertext, they're indistinguishable from an empty slot.
ETA2: OK, the graphical glitches aren't their fault: I realized I'm using a texture pack, which I obviously hadn't updated. Unfortunately, their file hosting site is also being snippy...
I did some CraftTweaker scripts for Mystical Agriculture. They fill in a couple of small gaps in MA, and also let you make or duplicate not only vanilla plants, but the blocks, plants and wood from Quark and Biomes O'Plenty. Also spawn eggs for most vanilla mobs! The scripts are here on Github.

Hah, I'm building a skeleton farm on a dungeon I found where I spawned. I'm gonna get loads of awesome bows.
I.4.2 is the worst update to ever come out, it is even worse then call of duty. The sounds sound like complete trash. My point is Jeb has completely ruined the game of minecraft. Have a nice day playing the bullcrap update.
I dunno, the game seem to be going in a really good direction and there's options and compromises for somethings. I like the way it's turning out. The new sounds are actually pretty awesome and really liven things up in the game. Maybe you just need better speakers or a head set?
I don't really like the new sounds. If they really want to change the sounds they should try to make them sound better, especially the punching of wood. Everything else though is awesome!

I personally love all the options for adventure maps. I think the next update should focus on combat, maybe adding more bows, possibly some magic/mana in the game. I think they've got everything great to have adventure maps, except for combat.
cool, lots of cool things, finally saddles are not pointless. but mobs traveling through nether portals that might not be good on my map, my portal is in the middle of a village, those poor villagers.
and anvil, repairing weapons awesome. along with new light system sweet. this update looks awesome. i just hope some of my mods are updated.
Once everything is updated and more or less back to normal, I'll like this update(especially the new sounds, which in my opinion is the best change in this update), but until then, I hate it.
It does this every time i try to update.
I tried playing through browser but it says I don't have Java installed, I uninstalled and re installed Java several times(I tried this on multiple browsers).
It's AWESOME
How do you use beacons?
If you could reply to this post that would bee awesome
Now Imma go look stylish in my new sweet looking leather armor....
XD XD XD
