New Prerelease is Available

Weekly Tester Out!

Jeb has confirmed this week's tester jar, 11w48a! Remember, this will not patch on its own, so if you'd like to help out by testing it, grab the file here, and copy the new .jar file over your existing one. Be sure to report any bugs you may find on the Minecraft Wiki here.

What's New - Find Out Here

We have discovered the following in this week's tester (expect this list to update frequently):

New Features:

Taiga biomes return
Apples can randomly drop from trees

Apples will only drop from default trees (no pine or birch). You will get apple in 1/200 chance.

Farmland trampling mechanics have been altered

Farmland no longer tramples by walking on it, only jumping will affect it. Animals can no longer trample your crops.

"Void fog" gone at bedrock level in Creative mode

Bugs:

Breaking wheat can "trample" between 2 and 5 adjacent farmland blocks, this is being addressed
Placing a block next to double-doors (wooden) can cause them to force open
Sugar cane can be placed underwater

I really doubt the next few pre-releases will have any noticeable changes except for bug fixes and minor changes...

I don't understand this. Instead of releasing patches to the latest version, he is releasing prereleases of bug fixes. If it's minor, just patch it. Really we need some beta new features in our prereleases. Come on Jeb, give us some spoilers!

The first pre-release hasn't even been pushed out to everyone, why create another until the masses test the first possible foul-ups?

I don't think the game really deserves to be out of "beta", since their beta team consists of, well... US. I'm fine with that and all, and like anyone else i find it to be annoying at times but my main point is that, I don't think the game should be selling for $25 when all the users are still their beta testers. It should be brought back down to it's original, "beta" price.

And like everyone else... where the hell is the change log? Seems like another rushed release, and i know they're working hard on these but why the "laxi-dasial" approach?

@agentc0re

The prereleases is made only if you want to test them. . . and changelogs will only be given if its an official update and not a pre release.

@Retrogier

Maybe they should do more of a "nightly build" download, so people can test the absolute latest changes and tweaks and offer feedback.

That way nothing has to be dubbed "pre-release" or "patch" or anything of the sort until it is thoroughly tested.

Quoted from Twitter:

... contains a few bug fixes and changes to farmland trampling and void fog in creative mode

Also, of course there isn't much changes. Development is slower now because Mojang doesn't want glitch-filled code in the full release of Minecraft. Quality should be higher now. In fact, I've noticed a significant FPS increase from Beta 1.8.1 to 1.0.0. My guess is that 1.0.1 will be mostly continuing tweaks and optimizations.

I don't like this.
Walking on farmland doesn't mess it up? Where is the logic in that?
They are taking away every tiny bit of possible challenge this game has to offer.

Next creepers wont explode unless you are wearing diamond armor anymore.
