Jeb and Jon have released this week's snapshot, 12w08a. This week's changes are as follows:

Added a defense mob to villages
Added up-side-down stairs
Many changes to the world and lighting system

Client: download here
Server: download here

Need help using a snapshot? Badprenup has you covered!

1. Download the new snapshot minecraft.jar
2. Navigate to your .minecraft folder (On windows, you can find it by searching for %appdata%)
3. Put the new jar file in the bin folder (OPTIONAL: Back up your old jar file).
4. Open Minecraft via the launcher, how you normally would.

Let us know what you find! Here's a screenshot Jon provided of the new mob, the Iron Golem:

Although its not what I expected, this could become pretty good. I guess my vision of the villagers as a simple race is over. I cant wait to see what they will become.

So does anybody know how to get/use the upside-down stairs? I've tried everything, and I even have the updated TMI installed.

Is it just me, or is Minecraft becoming Battlecraft? Yes, it's nice to have something to build against, and almost nobody will tell you that having villages to protect is a bad thing; but I seriously haven't seen much official attention to the actual mining basics of the game.

Tell me how you would tackle this issue?
More Ores? This would bring the issue of what to do with them.
More equipment for mining? What else besides a pick and shovel to you need for mining?

This is a serious question, not asking it in a joking form.

Im not sure if that would be possible, but if they found a way so you could easier set up a server and play with your friends that would be great instead of downloading all the stuff you need

Wow, everyone seems to be drinking their haterade today.

I think the new mob is awesome. I wasn't expecting anything like it.
Keep up the great work, Jeb!

FFS..... You are just like all the other morons out there! "Minecraft is starting to suck!" "They Shouldn't add this because it's gay!" Either
A: Shut the **** up and play Roblox.
or
B: Give us a reasonable explanation as to why you think it is making minecraft worse. If you give us reason, then perhaps we might agree with you. We could take it to Jeb and, there's a possibility it could happen!
But I imagine you're just one of those dickweeds who thinks "Omg! Minecraft was so much better back in InfDev before all these noobs started joining!" If you are one of these, shove yourself back up your moms vagina and die.
