Snapshot 12w19a is Ready For Testing!

Credit to ebrad for the picture!

It’s time for the weekly snapshot. Mojang is continuing to work on separating the client from the server, and has fixed a bunch of stuff related to that transition. What else got added? Check it out below:

Added cocoa plants to jungles
Added a “large biomes” world type

Added specific names for the different sandstone and smooth stone blocks

Improvements continue to pour into each snapshot with every passing week, and the new, improved SSP/SMP system continues to be streamlined, adopting a feel not unlike what MCX360 currently uses to connect players to one-another. Want to try this sleek update out?

Get the snapshot here:

Client: Download here

Server: Download here

The client now comes with both the client-side and the server-side JAR files. The file called “minecraft.jar” should be in your “.minecraft/bin” folder as usual, and the “minecraft_server.jar” file should be in a folder called “.minecraft/server”.

One Thing You Gotta Try:

You gotta use the seed" i dont care " (without the "s!) with large biomes world type. If you ever heard of that seed, you'll know what its about XD its awesome... Its basicly a HUGE version of the normal one:D

Good, better way to get coca. Also, huge biomes! I always thought they were too small to be called a biome. Great stuff.

Coca is the plant cocaine is from. Cocoa is the plant chocolate is from. Now, I knew what you were talking about of course, but I thought I'd point this out since it is a great example of when spelling matters!

Nice, big biomes and coconuts in jungle trees, but i was expecting more stuff in this snapshot.
"The Meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything..." at my 42 post, hahaha

No coconuts, just cocoa beans

I'd personally like to see even bigger biomes. I really want to feel like its just that biome in the world and that'd I'd have to travel for days(In Minecraft) to find somewhere else.

Would really give it more of a "work with what you're given" style of play. Especially if you spawned in a desert.

dont delete .minecraft just delete the .minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar file then open the launcher, click options press force update hit ok and then log in like normal, at this point it will notice you dont have a minecraft.jar file and download 1.2.5 for you.

Warning to any one defecting back to 1.2.5 make sure you place all your items in a chest. when I downgraded back to 1.2.5 my inventory was wiped. Im not too happy about it but what are you going to do?

I don't know if this is the right section for bug reports but I can't seem to find the subforum where you should report bugs.

Anyways, my bug(s) (I will probably edit this post when I find more):
Bug 1: (visual)
When creating a new world, changing windowed mode to fullscreen and the other way around while looking at "more world options" causes a visual glitch where you jump back to the main creation window but still see the text describing various options.
Screenshot of said bug:

Bug 2: (visual)

Sprites for grass are slightly misplaced on grassblocks.
Screenshots:

The grass has LITERALLY ALWAYS been like that. Ever since it was introduced. It's not a bug. Also, report bugs on the wiki.

how do you join the singleplayer-running local server on other local computers?

Go into Multiplayer-Direct connect (or Add Server) and in the IP area type in Localhost. Hope this helped.

I just wanna play a singleplayer world and I get this.

Unfortunately we can't automagically download the server for this snapshot.

Go download the server, and extract it to:
C:\Users\ \AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\server\minecraft_server.jar

When you're done, hit okay to try again!

So i do this and it's saying that I want to join a server but I cant connect. This is really frustrating me.

I don't think you can do this yet. This is the goal Mojang is working towards with these snapshots, but it isn't implemented quite yet to my knowledge.

Large biomes.

Mojang has heard my prayers! Now onto a the "eternal dark/night" mode and the ability to specifically control what mobs spawn.

Another seed change. What a seed gets you woudl now depend on biome size selection.

Would be nice if villages would spawn in snow biomes, both with and without trees.

Has anyone else noticed this, but was the person who took this screenshot using a texturepack, or did they retexture/add new tools?
