1.3.1 is Now Live!

The 1.3.1 update is now live! Your client should prompt to update automatically - if it doesn't you can manually update the version from the launcher by pressing the Options button before you log in, and pressing the "Force Update" button. While the update is 1.3.1, the only significant changes from 1.3 were some minor fixes and obfuscation.

Changelog:

The block-breaking animation is now shown while the GUI is hidden.
TNT no longer does damage to players in peaceful difficulty.
Respawning in superflat is no longer random.
Added rotatable Wood blocks
Strongly decreased the amount of Experience you get from furnaces

Depending on difficulty, creeper damage is scaled now

Bug Fixes:

Fixed a few misalignments and oddities in the item spritesheet and the creative mode's inventory's graphics.
Fixed a crash bug.
Fixed the chest armor slot being inaccessible in Creative mode's survival inventory tab.
Fixed rotated wooden logs mined using Silk Touch enchanted tools dropping as rotated wooden logs.

Fixed being unable to place half slabs in the small gaps between another half slab and the side of another block.

Bugs:

There is a visual bug when trying to push someone off a cliff, they fall off then warp back.
Sometimes when pushing someone off a cliff they do fall - you are not meant to be able to push people as of 12w23a.
It appears to be a server-side feature only, yet has not been applied to the client so far, as you can still push mobs or other entities in singleplayer.
It also appears to be a PvP-only feature. In SMP, you can still push mobs and entities too.
When standing still in the same place as another player the other player glitches about.
Player occasionally gets hurt from touching a wall mainly when being pushed by water into a block.

Player can be damaged when standing in front of a villager attempting to open a door. This may tie into the suffocation bug listed above, or might be something with the way the villager opens the door.

As always, you can check out the full changelog at the official Minecraft Wiki (click here!) - more updates, articles and videos will go up today. Keep an eye out!

Say, what do you mean by "upcoming Mod API"? Isn't 1.3 the update where the Mod API is live?

Also, so far, I'm getting a better experience than 1.3 pre-release (SSP), but unfortunately the lighting glitches are still too annoyingly frequent (although less frequent than in pre-release). I'm not getting performance issues, but a few glitches from the old SMP are now on SSP, too (namely, missing chunks).

But the new features are great, and I'm loving the trade options with the testificates. Now I can play different ways, like in one game I may be an adventurer, and in another one I can be a farmer, tending to livestock and trading for valuables.

All in all, an awesome update.

EDIT:
PS: I have yet to try the Nether to check for performance issues.

Woah, yikes. I'm getting lots of chunk loading errors too. I also found a flat side of a cliff that was completely black until I put a torch on it, so I think the lighting needs a tune-up as well.

Most it's gotten to is 12% and it just outright stops.
I'm FAIRLY sure it's not my internet, because I'm able to post this
On windows 7

Also, be glad you can at least USE Minecraft right now!

Laaaag!!!! Went from over 80 fps in 1.2.5 to 20 fps or lower in 1.3. Come on Mojang did you not intisapate this happening to people. I will stick with 1.2.5 for now. Also whats up with the 70% bug fixes. There are more bugs in 1.3 then there were to fix in 1.2.5. Time to take action and get the people who payed money out of there pockets for this game some relife. I have loved everything you have done so far...lets not dissapoint now please.

Yeah guys, the reason that your FPS is lower now, is because it is running a server in the background... Long awaited, but good job.

Yeah but im running on over 8 gig of ram and play on many diffrent servers. There is no reason for this lag. They need to fix whatever it is they destroyed with the frame rate.

Massive FPS drop with 1.3.1 from 1.2.5. It's really laggy/choppy gameplay. Just plain minecraft obviously since no mods or anything work.

edit: PLEASE cap the FPS at the main menu. No reason why it should be anywhere above 35. It's burning at 100+, removed the cap and blew it up to 400. You'd burn your GPU if you leave the computer running at that.

I can normaly play vinilla with 60-80 fps. Just revert back to 1.2.5 untill they get on to this issue. Wich I think should be at the top of the list considering a great majority of the Minecraft community are having this same issue. I already see 9 Yahoo answers links in google about this lag.

Whats so wrong with pushing players? My GF and I have been testing it out and we can walk right through each other... not very realistic. Also don't like walking through animals either.

Everything else is great though!

Without a doubt, an amazing update. Whenever I play Minecraft now, it's like I'm playing the Yogbox (sort of...). The only thing I would've added to complete the update would be the upcoming music C418 is making. Nothing like chilling in my Ender Castle with the new Ender Chest and End music! Oh, and Red Dragons + Lairs. Those two things would've REALLY completed the update.

1.3.1 was a bit disappointing. Big difference in FPS... I don't really see any bugs but the ones I see are too annoying. I'm not playing minecraft until they fix FPS or when Optifine comes out.
