Over the last week in Snapshots, we have seen a lot of exciting things coming up - Ender Chests, villager trading, the merging of SSP and SMP modes into a fluid, single system - what else could possibly be added to this pile of goodies to make it even better? We can think of one thing - tripwires.
Nathan "Dinnerbone" Adams uploaded this video showing off some experiments with tripwire - it appears that it can be set off by crossing the tripwire boundary (as expected), as well as being set off by "using" it much as one would use a switch or button. What other awesome features are on the horizon? We'll keep you posted as they develop!

A Minecraft Wedding
Anyone in attendance at Minecon 2011 will undoubtedly remember - Matt's proposal to Asia on-stage, alongside Mojang! Their marriage is now official, and the wedding ceremony was something any dedicated Minecraft fan could be proud of - Minecraft-themed Jones Soda, which features many of the in-game items and creatures; a number of high-quality character model statues that were on the showroom at Minecon including Steve, creeper and more. There were also a number of hand-made pieces for their ceremony made by the happy couple and friends, such as Minecraft trees and other bits of the world. Other gems included a Minecraft-diamond necklace, and - something no Minecraft party should be without - a Minecraft cake.
From everyone here at the Minecraft Forum, we would like to congratulate Matt and Asia on having easily the most awesome wedding in history, and wish the happy couple well!

trip wires sound fun too
the name changeing system is going to be run in a way that people cant abuse it to get unban.
i think that they upgradeing skill is the stupidest idea ive ever seen or heard of this is minecraft not skyrim
and an enderdragon that you can rase? i hate it! i LOVE endermen and then enderdragon but this would ruin people buildings and bascly be over powered lets not forget only one player can get it also enderdragons are not found in the nether. and a neather ore? no thank you! the new ore for tradeing with villgers is good. give poor jeb a chance to relax!
Blargh.
It's a snapshot.
What would you expect? One that doesn't have bugs in it?
what an overstatement, i cant even play 12w21b without it corrupting or blackscreening on a map.That said tho, emerald blocks and tripwires are bitchin, just c'mon with the horses jeb!!!!
Most intelligent thing I've read all day.
Point of snapshot: Test, collect bugs, report, and get the **** out. It's not there for you to play on all the time. Maybe the team should just allow a handful of people to test features, and no one else knows about it. Then we wouldn't see so many stupid comments floating around.
You know that if you reload the map a small amount of times it won't have the blackscreen bug, right?
Minecraft is NOT a RPG. It has some elements? Yes. But, first, mobs are easy, with this, everything'd be 1-hit. And if people whine about Enhacntmente and Brewing being too much RPG-ish, then what they'd say about it? I myself am against the enchants and brew, but this, I'm fully against.
