HELP!! Tried to load my 1.2.5 world up, it locked up for a while, I unblocked Minecraft, it tried to download the server for the snapshot (i don't know as to why) but it keeps on saying "Connection refused:connect" any fixes?
Dang it! I have already made an awesome Hardcore world! That means I can't start a new one in a large biome world! I have been waiting for those maps for a long time and gave up..... oh well.

What Im probably doing is making my new main world in the snapshot (with large biomes), then I wont have to wait till 1.3 comes out, only problem is I cant use any mods D:
Steering boats feels weird, it's like they're harder to operate now that I'm connecting to a server on my local machine like when I connect to remote servers. Also I noticed lighting seems more jittery now.
1. I never hosted a server so I have no clue what the default settings are. Stop assuming people should know these things. Your sound as bad as a rude tech support worker.
2. I'm still concerned about open ports for a single player game suddenly running as a client/server on my desktop/laptop PC's. This raises potential security issues with me since you don't need a Minecraft client to write a program that scans ports in local public networks to connect to Minecraft servers and do potentially nasty things if you manage to find an exploit.
Home networks may be firewalled but if your out and about on a public network and fire up a single player Minecraft game you could now be potentially opening up a hole in your computer for something to connect to.
If they're pushing single play to multiplayer I want to make sure I don't have to dork around with server configurations just to play a game. That is really unfriendly towards regular users who wouldn't know a port number from an IP address.
PS. Now I have to deal with multiplayer bugs I never had to deal with before in single player. It's a step down really in game quality for people who don't play online.
They shoud at least add an option that toggles the hosting of the SP server, like the Xbox 360 edition.
I can't get it to work! When I make a new world it says I need to "Extract the server to ~/application\support/minecraft/servers" When there isn't even a Server folder! please help.
P.S. I liked the older version of doing this because I understood it.
Just make a server folder there and put the server file it gives you into it.

Drag the folder in the snapshot called 'server' into the .minecraft folder. If there is no folder called server in the snapshot try downloading it again.
Oh wow it is soo amazing! There are so many bugs in minecraft right now, but cocoa plants are so important! It does not matter that the sun shines into large caves or badly placed mobtraps, right? This does not break every adventuremap with a bedrock ceiling for extra difficulty. It also is fun to watch Zombies burn inside a cave when you went there for a challenge.

I cannot tell if that is a compliment or sarcastic criticism, I'm going with criticism.
The problem is, you cannot play minecraft unless you are online...
I repeat, if I have no internet connection, there is absolutely no way or option to play the game offline... not even Single player...
I'm not freaking out and I know it's not final, but understand that this cannot go live like this, because a lot of people won't be able to play Minecraft anymore, me included, because of my dismal internet connection and no other viable internet options where I live, my playing experience would be so horrible, it wouldn't be enjoyable anymore.
Except, we already tried it out and the problem is that right now in Minecraft with this snapshot an internet connection IS REQUIRED. You cannot play even single player unless you are connected to the internet. This is with the regular minecraft.bin not the minecraft_server.bin. If you start a single player world and your internet connection is interrupted, the game kicks you out and you CANNOT play at all unless you connect to the internet again.
An internet connection is not required (except to download this snapshot). If you can currently run Minecraft in single player mode, you can run it as a "local host" mode too. Quit perpetuating these falsehoods.
You may not have configured your copy of Minecraft, and there may be a bug with your computer system that somehow unloads the TCP/IP stack if your internet connection goes down, but the fault for that is a lousy technician who set up your computer or a buggy network stack. The problem has nothing to do with Mojang or this game at all. There are so many things that could be going wrong in your case that I can't think of what might be wrong. But it is something you need to take to somebody who is technically competent that can fix your computer. It may be possible that you need to install a TCP/IP stack on your computer if you have no network connection... again something well beyond the scope of this thread and has nothing to do with Minecraft, Mojang, or this update.
The configuration of the server options might be a bit rough on the edges at the moment, but that should not be considered as what the official 1.3 release of Minecraft will be like. If you can run single player right now with 1.2.5, you should be able to play "single player" version of 1.3 when it gets released with no other additional problems.
Quote from Withersting »
The game runs with latency lag, so creepers are closer than they appear and they blow up before you can kill them.
This is a preview snapshot, and is supposed to have bugs because these developers are breaking things, adding features, and tweaking various aspects of the game. There have been some differences between single player and multi-player in terms of mob difficulty, so that may be something you are experiencing here as well. Then again that is why the merger of SSP and SMP is taking place.

Maybe not mentioned in the changelog or is it a texture pack?

They heal one hunger now
Have you ever heard of a "force update"?
It will take you back to 1.2.5!
All you need to do is press the options button in the launcher and start minecraft!
Just make a server folder there and put the server file it gives you into it.
Drag the folder in the snapshot called 'server' into the .minecraft folder. If there is no folder called server in the snapshot try downloading it again.

All of this is completely false. More below
