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)

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

What?! How long?
Ive never seen them ever.

Alllll the way since Secret Friday Update 8 in Alpha.

Which is a very long time, but they only have a 1% chance to spawn.

I think i've seen ..3-5 in all during all my time playing.

I just saw another today. Do they spawn more frequently in jungles?

I've been trying to find this out, but haven't had any luck. Is there a scheduled release date for 1.2?

I only ask because I'm going to start a new world on our server for 1.2 (we want jungles!) but my players would like to know about how long they have to say goodbye. :wink.gif:

In the next update, You guys should make a slider that can make you go trough ALL the updates. Example: I really miss alpha! And I want to go back to it. You should make a game option that let's you choose what version to play in!

It seems the wolves heads are all cocked to the side. My wolves last less than one minute because they insist on attacking creepers and creepers seem to blow up MUCH more often than before.

I love the jungle biome. It's really challenging at night as mobs will spawn all over the place. It can actually be pretty tough to find a place far enough away not to attract monsters on you.

Jungle biomes seem pretty small and dense. I'm not sure if this is on purpose, but it doesn't take long to go from one edge to the other compared to other biomes, especially grassy ones (which are often very expansive).

In Creative mode when you spawn an Ocelot near a cactus they will immediately jump on the cactus and spin in a circle commiting suicide.

Tameables that are breedable and produce recoloreds!?
It's like a dream come true. Only thing up from that are beasts of burden plus the other things.
Haven't seen the fire thingy yet.

I guess homework can wait until the day before it's due.
AGAIN

More likely somebody vandalized their crowdsourced translation. But they will need to figure out how to keep things like this out of release versions.

I wish they could make some kind of jungle village thats in the trees and more useful villagers- because they're pretty unhelpful.
