Snapshot 12w04a is Out!

This week's snapshot is available for testing! Below is the list of changes, as per Jeb's notes on the Mojang site:

New jungle-specific mob that can be tamed
Skeletons have new AI and a few new behaviors
Various minor bug fixes and changes
Added an experience item to creative mode
Added a flame item…
Updated language files

Additionally, some players have been trying to track changes not otherwise noted, and here's what Reddit writer keozen has compiled so far:

A strange "well-type-thing" (technical term) people are finding in the desert
Jungle Tree Saplings (thanks Minecraftman1)
The textures for dispensers and saplings have been changed. (thanks Minecraftman1)
If a 2x2 square of Jungle Tree Saplings is made and one is fertilized with bone meal, a huge tree is made (Thank you, Wolfrose88 via Minecraftman1)
When Ocelots are bred, they will give birth to...KITTENS! They come in black, red or siamese. :ohmy.gif: (thanks Minecraftman1)

They should make it so that torches light up the area you are in when you are holding it.

New mob:

The new mob is an ocelot. You can both tame and breed them with Raw Fish.

They can be quite evasive when untamed. They also attack chickens.

New Skeleton AI/behavior:

Now avoids sunlight; will either jump in the nearest block of water or get under a shade.

Bug fixes:

Zombies no longer spin intermittently when unable to reach the player.

Player's head in the inventory screen is no longer stationary.

Zombies no longer attempt to leap over fences.

Wolf tail gauge health properly again.

New items:

Fire Charge - Shoots a blaze fireball when loaded in a dispenser. Acts similar to Flint and Steel when held.

Bottle o' Enchanting - Accessible through Creative Mode only; will drop XP orbs when flung.

Kitties, burning snowballs of death, JUNGLES, smart skeletons.........MY LIFE IS COMPLETE! I love you all! MORE JUNGLE STUFF! I am back into minecraft! By the god named Notch! This is perfect! Now..........time to go tiki time....add lizards, monkeys, parrots, new armors, weapons, and make TIGERS, CHEETAHS, and giant BUGS! Wait..........*goes to make thread of ideas*

I'm not sure if this is a bug, you can try it out yourself but you have to be either in creative mode or have TooManyItems mod (yes they have it for the newest screenshot)! First, make a super flat world (not required but easier), next take out 1 block of dirt and replace it with snow. Next, go on the TooManyItems block selection, and select the thin snow block (could also be found in snow biomes or by making snow golems). Take the new fire ball thingy (NOT THE FLINT AND STEEL, ITS NOT THE SAME)! Try placing the fire on the snow, and it will work. It won't go on the thin snow blocks though. Also, why do we need a new fire orb thingy, when we have flint and steel? Perhaps when placed in a dispenser they shoot out fire? Just another thing for you to try, my Minecraft friends...

New discovery! NPC Village Blacksmith's now have chests filled with goodies!

I found one with Iron tools (Swords, Pickaxes, Etc.) Some Iron Armor. (Helmet, Chestplate, and boots, found no leggings) And now for the million dollar find. 8 Blocks of Obsidian already mined were in the chest.

There may be more you can find, too. I kinda...found this on accident while I was rampaging through a village. (Burning it down, killing the villages, stealing wheat, etc)

Also note, I was in a super-flat world. Not sure if this is of any importance, but I was in a super-flat world in creative (I have no mods) so these MAY, or may not be conditional to world type. (I doubt it, though)

I also apologize if someone else reported this first, I was so excited, I jumped right out of my game, and rushed here to report the amazing find without reading all of everyone else's comments.

Now, I'm gonna go back to raiding that village, for fun.

It would be kinda cool if villagers could
A) Have custom skins, like to distinguish girl or boy. Right now they're just squid wards wearing different color robes and aprons.
Villagers could have kids that you can train to be your apprentices in hunting, fighting, etc.
C) Trade with you for village stuff: You give them gold ingots, they give you..i dunno, a prayer book (for priest villager)?
D) Could build new buildings depending on how many villagers are in the village.
E) Talk to villagers.
