Snapshot 12w37a Available For Testing!

It's that time again - Snapshot time! So, what have the creative minds of the Mojangsters come up with this week? Well:

Tweaks to the Wither

He continues to be refined - this time, with a bit of nasty self-defense

Carrots are now carrot, and added new food item
Tweaks to a couple of item sprites

Specifically, Bread, Raw Chicken, Cooked Chicken, Raw Beef, Steak, Raw Porkchop, Cooked Porkchop, Red Apple, and Nether Star no longer have a dark outline. Golden Carrot now matches the carrot, and heads are centered properly.

Leather armor now has a non-dyed layer
Superflat customization options

Comes with 7 presets: Classic Flat, Tunnelers' Dream, Water World, Overworld, Snowy Kingdom, Bottomless Pit, and Desert. Also, Custom starts off with Classic Flat with three options: Add Layer, Edit Layer, Remove Layer. Adding and editing are NYI.

Pigs are now able to jump when players ride on them
Added /clear command to empty the inventory
Evil mobs are now a little bit more fearless in hard difficulty

Various bug fixes

Not sure if this has been noted or not yet, or if it's even anything, but I noticed my sensitivity was different (set to the same I left it from the last update) like it was more sensitive. What purpose was that changed for?

Quote from Chaospillager

Idea! /drop drops all your items, whereas if you do /drop 3 it drops all your dirt from your inventory. Makes life easier. If you have your inventory full of cobblestone, you can do /drop 4 to drop all your cobblestone and not have to throw it one stack by one stack. Also you could make it so you only have to type /give or /drop dirt to drop that item instead of look it up on the wiki to get the number

No, because then griefers can simply fill up their inventory with cobblestone, and with their friends at the same time do /drop 4. Instant lag.
As for the /give dirt thing, that might make sense in English, but block/item names change in other languages. What input should the server receive then? English? Spanish? French? Picking one language wouldn't be fair to the others.

We still need Dinnerbone to continue working on the lectern! Give me +'s so that he sees this!

A lectern is a support for books or papers used in giving a lecture or a talk. Why would you want this?

Many of you seem convinced that villages can't spawn in modified worlds...

well...

This world is just 1 layer of sand, and the village floats above it. The preset is "1;12;1".

Now for the amazing floating space village!

Try my seed that puts you in between two villages on superflat in every other version except this one, then tell me they didn't change something with village spawn. -3414081329078608189

am I the only one that realises that adding and editing layers are actually there just not as buttons?

The sun stutters and my overall speed is increased. Everything I do is like a silent movie - move, dig, everything is speeded up. I hope that's fixed in 1.4.

It's possible that they changed the way villages spawn independently of the change to the superflat world, so the villages aren't *missing*, but they're just somewhere *else*.

It's changed alright, but the fact remains that under certain conditions, villages still spawn.

Possible conditions:

The base can't be any higher than a certain amount (but villages can in all kinds of places on normal maps...)
The biome must be plains (isn't it always plains in superflat?)
The surface must be a certain type of block (villages can spawn on sand and grass and a few others; perhaps all others are invalid)

I'm sure there are others, and even these requirements seem iffy. After all, the village in my superflat was floating 1 block above the sand.

Would I be correct to assume you are one of those kids who replies to youtube videos with "fake and gay"?

The superflat world options are amazing! definately an innovative idea thats been long overdue. Are we going to see more options like that for standard worlds? I think players would quickly embrace the idea of being able to spawn one-biome worlds, it would certainly benefit RP servers.
Imagine being able to create a normal survival map thats all jungle! It would be like Rambo... but with Zombies.

Could I have the seed for this world? I'd love to have a known seed that generates a village on a known preset, so I can try different presets to see if and how that affects the village.

What is the seed to the world you found the villages in, and what settings did you choose please?
