One day, Dinnerbone wrote some really important information that changed the fate of humanity, and nobody knew it because nobody reads this text anyway, except the guy referencing it for updates. Oh, sorry, what was that? Snapshot? Oh right yes of course! Here we go:
NOTABLE ADDITIONS FOR SURVIVAL:
Book copying mechanics has been altered to differentiate the original & copies of books
Activator rails can eject entities from Minecarts
NOTABLE ADDITIONS FOR MAPMAKERS:
Added a spectator gamemode (/gamemode spectator). Not 100% finished.
Spectators cannot be seen by anybody but other spectators
Spectators can view inventories/etc, but not modify them
Spectators can go through any entity or block without interfering with it
Spectators can click on entities to take their camera
Spectators cannot use items, place blocks, destroy blocks or interact with blocks in any way
Spectators are only slightly buggy maybe sometimes
Please report any and all bugs you find in Minecraft to bugs.mojang.com. If nobody reports a bug, we can’t fix it!
BUGS FIXED THIS SNAPSHOT:
[Bug MC-38944] – Joining Realms World "Cancel" Button Mis-Placed
[Bug MC-44521] – @a, @e, and any UUID references work incorrectly after a player dies.
[Bug MC-45795] – Villagers can not place or pick up any crops
[Bug MC-45847] – /summon Villager Farmer NBT tag canPickUpLoot will default to 0
And many more that weren’t on the bug tracker so we couldn’t mark them as fixed! Did I mention please report bugs? Thanks.
To get snapshots, open your launcher and press the “New Profile” button. Call it “snapshots” and check the box saying “Enable experimental development snapshots” and save. To switch to the normal version, you can select it in the dropdown at the bottom left corner of the launcher. Back up your world first or run the game on in a different folder (See the “new profile” dialog). Snapshots can corrupt your world, please backup and/or run them in a different folder from your main worlds.

Blech. F3 mode seems more complicated now if they kept the coords labels with X,Y,Z instead of Feet 100 100 100. So now if you don't know which coords are are what you're out of luck. (But I doubt that would ever happen unless you bought this game blind.

OMG guise did u see dat red dargon in the midle of the scren i think nitch is hitning at somthing xD Well, now that I got that out of my system, the snapshot looks pretty cool.
Jeb really needs to add some kind of permissions for spectator... Such as /gamerule mobControl true, will let you control the mobs u spectate as AND add /gamerule mobDisguise true, Lets creative players disguise as well, but by using left click along with mobGriefing affecting TNT, and maybe a World Guard system (NOT laggy like dragnoz's)?
I think some new passive mobs could add to the 1.7 biomes as well, Maybe gazelles for the savannah? I think a roofed forest monster/boss seems fitting.... Idk why.
There should also be a 1.8 skin template that would NOT have left and right, however having layers, this would be a very convenient addition
Something they forgot to mention (its shown in the screen shot though) is the addition of the 'barrier' block. It's a completely invisible indestructible block. The item icon is the red thing in the screen shot. (Well the red thing aside from _Grum in spectator mode.)

Tis far better to be a witty fool than a foolish wit.
Yeah... the barrier block is featured in the image itself but they didn't say anything about it...
It sounds pretty cool, and I bet the spectator mode has a lot of possibilities too.
It's not a really big change but they also added a new shader in "Super Secret Settings".
And if you "possess" a Creeper in spectator mode you see everything green.
1.8 is going to be really awesome.

How are y'alls FPS this time round? I remember last snapshot everyone was complaining about worse-then-usual-snapshot-bad FPS, which put me off from downloading it, did it get any better?
yea, amm... I am pretty new at this (the account is really old, but I don't use minecraft forum), and well, can anyboy report that when you collide with the barrier in a minecart (block up the rail block), the game crashes, and the world too
I'm watching a video about the new snapshot and it's awesome, you can "possess" entities in Spectator mode, and if you possess creepers everything turns green, and if you possess spiders you see everything like a spider, with many eyes. That's a new shader that can be seen in Super secret settings too. And if you possess endermen the colors are reversed (negative).
You can possess the Wither too, and villagers, pretty much every entity. It's really interesting.
(In regard to a mod that gives realistic animal genetics):
Would you really rather have bees that make diamonds and oil with magical genetic blocks?
... did I really ask that?
You can no longer place two similar items into your crafting grid or a crafting table and "combine" them to repair them. So you can no longer put two half used picks in your 2x2 grid and get a full (or nearly full) pickaxe in return. You now MUST use the anvil and spend XP to combine items in this fashion - even those without enchantments.

Noooooooooooooooo. This is BS. It should be free for non-enchanted items.
Okay so I'm really new, I just got my game a bit ago (a 2-3 wks) um.. so how do I update? Will it be automatic or do I need to go somewhere or.. (confused)

It's not an update (at least not now) - it's called a "snapshot" which is kind of like a preview or a "beta" version of the next update (but still full of bugs). I recommend you to wait untill Minecraft 1.8 is finally released (expecially if you are a beginner in Minecraft).
As I said those "Snapshot Versions" still have many bugs and can destroy your saved worlds (in the worst case of course).
If you still want to try it, you have to edit your profile in the launcher of the game and allow snapshot verions to be used (but - just to be safe - don't load any of your existing worlds into this snapshot).
You can switch the profile back to the last stable version any time.
I also suggest checking the box that lets you specify a path to use for that profile and then changing the path to something other than .minecraft to prevent unintentionally corrupting a save. (I personally have mine set up to use .minecraft_snapshot for all the snapshot stuff.)

Thanks jeb if you add any of these
JUST said that dude!!!

Spectators can go through any entity or block without interfering with it
As in: Map makers / ops can now go through the map, and look around underground without destroying it or needing external tools.
