I'm glad they made the XP leveling (at least somewhat) exponential again and nerfed the XP drops from ores. The old way was insane getting to level 50 without a grinder but then they took it to the opposite extreme in the previous snapshot.
In 1.2.5 it takes 4625 XP to reach level 50. When they changed the max level to 30 it dropepd to be linear. It took 17XP per level from what I read meaning it took 510 XP to hit 30.
I don't know why people are complaining that 1.3 isn't out yet, when at the same time they're complaining that the client/server merge is very buggy and not easy to use. So... they want an update that they can't play... That's smart, right there.
I find Apple's OS prices amusing. They make you pay so much more for air, and many people think it's the OS that's putting on tons of money. But no, it's just the air inside the case.
I really like the part about being able to place half-slabs on walls. I am supprized many of you havent been showing any exitment, or rather, not even showing any care about it. It will greatly help with making more detailed buildings.
Umm, I believe you misinterpreted it. It just makes it WAY easier to place the half-slabs. If you put a half slab on the lower 8 pixels of a block, it will place the half slab on the lower side. If you place it on the upper 8 pixels of a block, it will be put as an upside down half slab. Makes it easier to build, but no new positions half slabs can be placed in.
I'm quite happy wooden pressure plates detect arrows (again?) now, it will make secret doors/pathways a lot more fun to make. I'm aslo quite happy that the new EXP system was nerfed, it makes PVP on SMP just way too OP.
Finally, some news on when 1.3 will actually be coming out. I can't wait, so many cool new features are gonna be vanilla it seems. I especially can't wait for the desert and jungle temples, that's gonna be so much fun
you know instead of adding speed to boats or tinkering with xp mojang should turn to the top priority: bugs. every time I log in on the downloaded minecraft the game just crashes, does it like not work on windows 7 or something?
OMG yessss, i miss the old terrain generation soo badly, the post 1.6 terrain is just, so, dull floating islands are awesome, we need those again. what i would give for the option to select old terrain generation...
another thing i would love to see is more wool colors, i beleive they were promised us at one point but i havent heard anything new about them in ages i would like tan wool very much.

That's 1.4
Actually it has been said that 1.3 comes out when the Modding API is finished... its gonna be a while until 1.3 comes out

Good snapshot, thanks Mojang!
