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

It was enchanted, my sparsely mustachioed friend.

Finally! I have been waiting for apples for a long time, atleast now servers don't need a apple-falling-from-tree-plugin.

*sigh* Firstly, have you ever thought of using punctuation? It makes people take you more seriously. Secondly, no, it's not just giving away the game. You need more than just the .jar to run the game.

Voidfog in gen needs to be changed... I like the fact that it darkens the area and such, but having it at such an extream at bedrock is nuts. Level 5-10 it seems fine.

Why not just make apple trees? They could spawn rarely in the world. It could also just drop normal saplings that when grown have a rare shot at growing into an apple tree. Prevents you from being able to make a large farm of em.

YES, YES, YES, they're FINALLY making apples fall from trees!

They ought to be much less rare though, perhaps a 1/50 chance? But thats pretty cool!

Not going to play this just for the apples though, because my favourite server has an apples from all trees plugin + I'm also not going to play this because of all of the bugs

Farmland no longer tramples by walking on it, blocks break easily, creepers die easily... what is next? zombies will drop 1 stack of diamonds per kill?, seriously, there are at least 70 bugs waiting for a fix but all they can do decreases the game difficulty, what is the point about the game difficulty all of them are easy...

Wait, people thought that crouching to walk over your crops made the game more difficult?

I am kind of confused here. By gone, do you mean completely gone, or just at bedrock(levels 0-5)? Also, what does 1/200 chance mean? Do the apples fall from the trees, or do they get dropped when leaves are destroyed?
