This week's Snapshot is out for testing! What cool features have been added this go-around? Let's take a look:

Many minor bug fixes and tweaks
Doors have been changed to properly detect if they are open or closed. Double doors in existing maps will need to be updated
Villagers will move indoors during night and rain, and socialize with each other
Zombies will break down wooden doors on hard difficulty
Added cat sounds
Better movement for mobs in water
Added rare mob item drops

Are you ready to defend your newly interactive villagers from door-destroying zombies? Get your Snapshot downloads in the links below!

12w06a Client

12w06a Server

We will be examining some of these changes in greater detail, but in the meantime, we have the following to consider - how are your villagers behaving with this update? How awesome is it to have working double-doors? What sort of rare items do mobs drop? Let us know about it!

I checked the names of things on all types of english and this is what i got:

UK english:sticks a renamed 'Rods'.

US english seems the same.

Canadian English:Snowball is renamed 'Weapon of Mass Destruction' and quite a few items 'ay' on the end of it.

to OP and the forum staff: don2t misguide people. Zombies break wooden doors in normal difficulty too. I was playing on normal because I didn't want them in my house at night, and I ran away from a zombie, making it into the house. I was happily looking at my goodies inside the chest when suddenly I heard some noises *thump thump* I turned around and saw a zombie at the door and in one second, it opened the door and killed me (I had half a heart left). So please, fix it.

The new item drops are bows, enchanted bows, gold armor, golden swords, enchanted golden swords, iron armor, iron swords, iron shovels, iron ingots, and gold ingots. This improves surviving in the wilderness, as sometimes swords and bows drop enchanted.

Should be "eh?" not "ay".

This is all well and good
The rare drops are cool
but.. WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THE MOBS!?

I'm playing in 12w06a in the seed "12w06a" in hardcore

I've only encountered Sheep, Pigs, Cows, Wolves, Chickens and a single freaking spider

I hear NO mobs at night, aside from the normal day time mobs

No creepers
No Skellies
No Zombies
No Endermen

EDIT

A few moments, and a nights sleep, I've finally encountered
3 Creepers
2 skellies
and a zombie

Bout bloody time.

They just need to add some sounds to the villagers. Maybe like a mumbling?

I think monsters should have a little more diversity in what they drop, like if a monster was to spawn in the nether, it could drop nether warts.

Personally, I think it'd be more fitting for skellies to wear iron armor and sometimes drop it to. Quite frankly, they always seemed like the smarter ones, at least before these past few snapshots. I guess iron armor wearing zombies would be cool as well. What if creepers wear random helmets sometimes and that's also their rare drop? (Enderman sometimes wear/ drop boots of a variety of armors, not just iron or gold.)

Edit: Oh, and if they use the weapons against you (like the pigmen and skeles), it should be damaged a little more than if you had killed them without a conflict. I'm not as sure about zombies, but it probably should be damage by default anyways. Also, if they start wearing armor, it should take some damage when you kill them or burn/ fall to their death.

I don't think I've broken more than 5 tools since the repair mechanic has been implemented.

What repair mechanic?
