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)

Feel free to add any findings you may come across in this thread, and check out our comprehensive coverage of update discoveries right here!

perhaps cats could get you fish...
oh and i believe there still will be a monkey mob. last i heard they were trying to figure out how to do it's pathing since they would mainly live in trees, climb, etc.

Jungle saplings placed in a 2x2 grid can grow a giant tree without bonemeal.^ Those textures have been there for a while.

Zombies avoid sunlight too. They freak out when on fire and try to hide.

I honestly squeee'd at kittens >3<
I hope that they fix whatever bugs they have and give them a slighter better use in 1.2 though.

But they're kittens, I can't expect them to be useful. Maybe if they caught me fish :>

If anyone is having trouble with the installation, there is a guide. I also try to answer questions in the comments if you're having trouble!

Jeb says they were GOING TO add toucans... But didn't because they looked rediculous? I can picture a nice little toucan right now! If you can't make a toucan model get another modeler "Magic transforming useless cats with a fancy name would be nicer looking, lol lol lol" -I am sure that is what they thought... I love toucans D:

Quote from RoyHess

You cannot use /give <playername> 383 64 20 for spawning an exploding TNT block with the actual snapshot :/
I used it to quick-mine thru the rocks... It's dangerous, but very fast.

can you still give yourselve end crystal eggs?

tamed cats should bring you fish when going underwater

Yeah, they've been doing that since at least 1.1. I kept finding random wool blocks everywhere and found out that the wolves were just randomly attacking the sheep for the lulz.

Is it just me or do chickens now aim their faces down like they're pecking at the ground or something?

You need to be able to craft a bowl of milk and place it somewhere then the cats will stop following you. I had a few but it was impossible to tame more because the cats following me would spook the ocelot .
