12w25a Snapshot Ready for Testing

Mojang is still focusing on bug fixing so they can eventually release the 1.3 patch. The biggest problem right now is that since the game is hosting a server in the background, the game requires more hardware resources than before. They are trying to figure out a way to solve that, but here’s a weekly snapshot for now:

Added an "Open to LAN" menu in the in-game menu, which allows players to open their world to other players. In the menu, the player can choose to turn cheats on or off, and choose the game mode.
The multiplayer menu now scans for LAN servers (singleplayer worlds which are on the same LAN and have been published with the /publish command).
Villagers may remove a trade option after it has been used at least 3 times.
Added wooden stairs for the remaining three wood types (spruce, birch and jungle).
Redstone (including repeaters, torches, levers, and pressure plates) and Rails can now be placed on slabs and stairs positioned upside down.
Removed the downwards knockback while drowning.
Pigs now drop 1-3 Porkchops instead of 0-2.
Improved memory usage.
The /tp command now allows teleporting to specified coordinates.
The syntax for this is /tp [target player] .
The other functionality of the /tp command is still there.

The new teleporting addition sounds great. Now when I run around and find something cool but am low on supplies I can right it in my book and teleport back if it's really far away or back home if I get lost in an overlapping cave system.

Where in the game, after downloading the snapshot, do I find rubies?

There are no rubies. Follow the updates closely and you'll see that emeralds have been added recently but there are no rubies in Minecraft.------------------------------------------
I hope snapshot b comes out soon because after seeing all these comments about lag and bugs I'm not willing to risk it.

It will be released as 1.3 and I doubt even Notch knows exactly when because there is no guarentee that the snapshot updates will be perfect.

Don't. Jeb and the guys have a lot of fixing to do, but that is why they do release these for us to test for them. I give them a lot of credit for trying to make the game more accessible, but this snapshot just is unplayable. My server went back to last week's snapshot. We've all become good at swapping .jar files so it was no worries, but I would tell people to avoid this one until they fix it. But still kudos to Mojang, I REALLY appreciate how they let us all in on the testing process and value our feedback.

I played over LAN last night, brother was on a computer in the next room.

It had far more perceivable lag (he could see things I could not and vice versa, or he dissapeared or I dissapeared, stuff loading up real slow) than the net server we play on.

LAN is Cat 5e cable straight up (no more than 6m in length). Both computers with Win 7 64-Bit, Core i7 3.2ghz, 8GB ram, .minecraft is also on an SSD.

Please add an engine block already, mine carts and those little wooden boats suck!

When breaking blocks with an efficiency tool, it will sometimes delay and "respawn" like blocks act like when breaking blocks on a slow server.

I think I may have found a bug just now... I know the "getting experience from furnace" thing is old news, but I just noticed that if you destroy the furnace (mine it), you'll get everything that's in the furnace, but you won't receive any experience. Is that an intended feature? I checked the wiki, but didn't find this "bug" anywhere in the bugs section.

This is about the Ghost Recon part.

After I downloaded the installer, it installed and downloaded the 1.53 GB or whatever. I then restarted my computer and logged back on. When I ran the game, it popped up like it had before, but with the start game button showing. When I clicked the start game button, a command prompt came up that said it was updating something. Then the game started to open up, like the logo showed up, but it closes and doesn't open the game. The initial installer thing stayed open, though. Anyone else having this happen? If so, how can I fix it?

Quote from unsocialman

I spotted a problem. As you can see, gravel no longer breaks when a torch is under it. The torch shouldn't be able to have gravity effected entities on it.
EDIT: I was able to break the blocks the next time I tried, however, this torch supports it. Therefore, I don't know if it is connected to the ssp lag or is a glitch.

It has been like this for either a very long time or forever. Sand and Gravel need to fall at least one block before a torch will break them. This isn't a glitch

EDIT: My mistake, this is something new with the snapshots, weather it's a glitch or not I have no idea

Hamachi no longer allows anybody on my Hamachi network to even connect anymore. I guess there's no way to make a server anymore, and it's impossible for me to port forward because my ISP doesn't allow it.
