We have seen some interesting teaser pics from Dinnerbone over the last few weeks, and this Snapshot includes a number of features related to those screenshots! A number of these will be familiar to everyone - item frames, stone walls, dyed armor - but there are a number of additional awesome features not mentioned before! Check out the full list below:
- Added item frames
- Added cobblestone walls (yes, mossy too)
- Maps now align to a grid, making it easier to create adjacent maps. Maps can also be cloned
- Stairs now auto-arrange into corners. This is a test and may change based on feedback
- Mobs can travel through portals
- Leather clothes can be dyed
- Removed the “wip block” from the creative menu
- Added two new crops and associated items
- F3+P will toggle the auto-pause when the window loses focus (it’s for debugging, mainly)
- F3+H will toggle detailed item descriptions (also for debugging)
- Added arrow-sensitive wooden buttons
- Trapdoors can be placed in top-most position (based on cross-hair aim)

MineTV Updates
The video above is a highlight reel of MineTV's Episode 3, with mod maker and hilarious commentator Pahimar! At the time, it was believed that a 2-hour episode might be a bit long for people to sit through, but due to a rather overwhelming volume of mail demanding the full episode, it will be uploaded in its entirety later today - be sure to subscribe to the channel for real-time updates!
That's because it's not actually in the game yet. You have to hack it in.
New mob features:
(For those who own 12w34b servers)
Don't open it. Save it, and copy it over your minecraft.jar.
If you've never installed a Minecraft snapshot before, you should find a tutorial online. It's not SUPER complicated but it's not as simple as clicking a link.
did you try leather armor??? maybe its more "stealthy"
This is why I think/hope carrots will not be limited to monster drops.
It's only rare till ya get one
interesting
THIS!!
I love the corner stairs, but I was working on the outside walls of one of my many abodes...Well when the outside wall brushed up against my inner stairs...let's just say I have a small hole in my wall now...
Side note: I have noticed a similar mechanic as the "logs" and "pistons" when it comes to placing the stairs=corner. I am fiddling with it more today, to see if it is a bug I am experiencing or the "right way" to place the stairs.
1) One way will make a corner stair. If I destroy any stair (that is not the corner one) the corner stair reverts to a regular stair.
2) One way will make a corner stair. If I destroy any stair (that is not the corner one) the corner stair remains a corner.
**Perhaps this is how to properly place them? More testies is required! (At least 3 testies, maybe I will go for a ferd 8 ball?)

What the hell happened to that sheep? I didn't know Steve knew how to snap necks!!
Now they've brought it back with corner stairs, I'm not surprised it's causing more problems.
