This week, Mojang has begun the long process of separating the server logic from the client. They hope to make it easier to add features in the game going foward - essentially not having to program in game additions twice, for two functionally different "Minecrafts" - and also to make it possible for players to invite their friends to play on their local computer without setting up a server. While the intent to begin migrating was announced in the past, this Snapshot begins taking the first step into realizing it fully. Note - the changes are NOT complete, but the game should run normally.
Now, on to the changelog:
More fixes to silk touch and block picking
Wooden tools work in furnaces
Villagers spawned from spawning eggs will get a random profession
Updated language files
Miscellaneous editions
The download links are slightly different than prior Snapshots - the link below is the client ZIP, not JAR; it contains both client-side and server-side JAR files. The Server JAR link is as it has been for previous Snapshots.
Downloads:
Client ZIP: [url='http://mcf.li/JtsrdC']Download[/url] (This is a ZIP file containing client- and server-side JAR files)
Server JAR: [url='http://mcf.li/IIJUCG[/url]Download[/url]
Enjoy this first glance into some very exciting changes!
well.. single player will be servers for every map i made a new one and i cant connect to it.. i dont really like how their adding this... but it will make it sort of easier to invite your friends to play with u...
Every time someone had that problem they didnt install both jars...
I have been wondering for a while, since the changelog is apparently not to be fully trusted, how exactly people find out about all changes?
Do they try EVERYTHING possible with each update? O.o
Yes he is, and yes he will be. An always online game, is a terrible idea. I don't want to be REQUIRED to play online just to play Minecraft.. I DO NOT WANT my single player invaded by Server BS. Keep server garbage to multiplayer. leave single player, just that.. single player.. If I wanted a server.. I'd get one.
I have come to a conclusion that 90% of the people don't read things they reply to. you sir are part of that 90%. ONLINE IS NOT REQUIRED! that what the guys was saying so please don't be in the 90%. Alos whitelist the server if you want only you on it.
I didn't actually see any performance drop at all while playing the snapshot, my ol' core2duo does a mighty 100fps in regular single player, and 100fps in this new snapshot.
I'm actually happy for this though, finally all the SMP bugs will get squashed.
on another note, just had this really really cool idea.....
Snapshots should require you to first pass an IQ test before you can get to the download. Anybody who doesn't pass, simply can't download and test out the snapshot, those that do, are at least intelligent enough to make decent observative comments/bug reports about the snapshot.
Jeb are you an idiot or what? Combining single player and multiplayer servers? NO.
Keep them seperate. I DO NOT want single player to be like a server, or have any chance of anyone else being on my network.. either way.. I do not want SP and SMP combined at all.. what the hell is wrong with you?
that's my only complaint.. that.. and still no sandstone stairs...
This singleplayer is soo(insert infinite o's here) misunderstood. I do agree about the stairs though

You don't even know me, or what I do.. so thanks for trying to tell me I'm something I am not. Online is required, because I try to play offline, and it WILL NOT let me. So tell me more about how I don't know what I'm talking about?
I shouldn't have to whitelist anything, Single Player should REMAIN just that.. should have NO ties to online play at all. So until you know me in the real world, **** off, because you cannot speak for me about my opinions and views on these changes, or know how I am. Good day.
Minecraft was supposed to die when hunger was introduce, and when enchantments were brought in, and when apples got easier to get, etc.
Then people are either stupid or just blinded to the fact people with low end computers will have major lag if the SSP acts like servers.
I couldn't create a world when I tested this and decided to cut my computer from the net, and I couldn't create nor start a world without net being active. So as I said this will end minecraft.
Worst snapshot yet. I hate the idea of connecting singleplayer online. WHY?! it's a pointless feature, it makes things worst. Just add a Create server button.

As long as offline play is still possible I don't care about the server 'feature' in SSP. However I've seen that hitting escape no longer pauses the single player game. THAT is unacceptable! There NEEDS to be a "Pause" function of some kind in SSP.

I may not know you but that doesn't mean i can't prove you wrong. < may not be processed yet.

This is another HUGE screw up with server intergration to single player.. it's single player, why the HELL does it need server crap?? It doesn't!
i believe they will release it next thursday, so i won't expect them taking requests for snapshots yet
Every time someone had that problem they didnt install both jars...
I think its a lot further out than that, seeing as they havent really even started on the API
Some people do, others take peeks at the code
With all the improvements they are doing (and continue to do) I dont think most people will even notice

I agree with everything stated here

Somebody who agrees!
