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!

just place a dirt block infront (inside) of your door and kill them real easy.

Quote from Repeatist

I don't know why, but cat sounds are what sold this snapshot to me.

Also, time to switch to iron doors.

I saw that "Fast" graphics has been changed to "Quick". Also, its funny how Villagers get chased by Zombies if they don't get mauled!ikr!

its great those villagers now do something than stand there and look creepy, zombies smashing doors are a damn good idea, it'd be great if they could break windows and such(though most servers might turn it off) and rare mobdrops should be fair, but not too good. i can see lots of people asking for something too valuable. records would be goodinstall by drag-dropping contents in minecraft.jar, its best to delete everything from the jar first

right on!@ I could even understand the window smashing idea.

Infact as far as villagers were concerned, I came across a town during nomad mode, and was fixing it up, and then when nightfall came I was about to bunker down for the night with some nice folks, when I come into the house it turns out they had been keeping a zombie in their house! Were they trying to ambush me? Were the town folk summoners or keepers of the undead somehow? There was no other explanation, I couldn't take that risk. I then set off on a quest to find and slaughter the other summoners I could find.

Now I can be friendly like with the townies.

Oh golly. "Zombies can break doors down in Hard Mode..." I wonder what happens if I changed the difficulty to--
After visiting my world in Hard Mode...

The "random loot" includes at least enchanted bows. I for a Power I bow from a skeleton. I know for a fact this is loot and not something I made because I have only enchanted 3 items on this world and a bow was not one of them.

People for more information and so you aren't so clueless to things like "What are the rare drops? I MUST KNOW".

MinecraftWiki.net. That is all

They already can interrupt our sleep.

Only if the room isn't secure. I mean literally breaking down your door in the middle of the night while you sleep xD

This was out in the previous snapshot. As with other things not mentioned in the snapshot update list.

I love the way Jeb and Jon are making the mobs better.
I can't wait to trade with the NPCs, but them giving you quests or jobs would ruin the game in my opinion.
Also can't wait to see more jungle mobs!
