Snapshot 12w39a Ready for Testing

It's that time again - Snapshot time! What, there isn't supposed to be one this week? Mojang decided to surprise everyone by releasing one anyway! Dinnerbone is diligently working on the new and improved lighting engine, and would really appreciate your help in finding bugs and glitches! To report a bug, click here, make sure the bug isn't already listed, then follow the instructions on the page.

Today's Snapshot includes:

Lighting system overhauled

NOTE: there are still some minor issues with smooth lighting and stairs - this is known about, and being worked on)

Lots of blocks interact correctly with lighting now (stairs, slabs)
Few sound tweaks
When you place glass, ice etc it won't sound like you break it anymore
After you shoot an arrow into the water it won't play that infinite water splash sound anymore
Fixed Witch being white for some
Changed Witch texture size

Complete bug list can be seen right here

I have found a very large bug in my game (though I am unsure if it is just my computer that causes it).
All of the stairs... and I mean ALL types of stairs, normal, upsidedown, the lot, have lighting issues, where they are just black on the upper half, between the lower and upper step (reverse for upside down stairs)

Color me happy that Mojang followed through on their statement that the lighting was going to be addressed for 0.14. Thank you, guys, for making what is probably a sizeable effort.

Just for your information:

Lighting system overhauled
(NOTE: there are still some minor issues with smooth lighting and stairs - this is known about, and being worked on)]

This was also stated in Mojang's site for the snapshot announcement. You might want to check on what's already been shared as opposed to what hasn't.

I agree with Prettypinkdork, I like Jack-O-Lanterns and I think its need to be fixed. Jack-O-Lanterns light alway in the same direction.

And there is a probleme with farmland.

This isn't really an snapshot, it's more like a hotfix

Yea so, the mine-cart crashing and permanently screwing over your world so that you cannot ever get back on it no matter what you do to it, has just screwed me over and now I am pissed. I had a weeks worth of a Spanish assignment on that for school, and now its due Monday and I am screwed cause it's all freaking gone. does ANYONE know ANY way to fix this crap? otherwise I have to retake Spanish for the 2nd time because of this world being screwed.

Your Spanish assignment is a video game level? I think maybe you should retake it again anyway, and request a different teacher.

Why is that ear-splitting xp orb sound still here? I like most of the other new ones, but that one is just terrible.

Me: Oh boy! A lighting overhaul! Does this mean better sun/moonlight? More realistic underwater light?!
COLORED LIGHTING?!?!

Mojang: No. But now stairs are lit correctly!

Me: Oh....ok

For those who haven't noticed, in addition to all the other features introduced, Endermen now have all their sounds implemented, Stare, Scream, etc.

I found a glitch/bug in the latest snapshot 12w39a, where the villagers fall through plank wood.

I just don't get these new snapshots... They brag around with big numbers, but the game seems like it is still in early alpha... And it's getting worse! New sounds are AWFUL (ffs, there are so many sound designers out there), I still have to use patcher for HD textures... Without Optifine, I can't get a decent fluid experience, expected on i72600, 12GB ram GTX580 and Win7 64bit. Why don't you implement some serious stuff in game, like built-in patch, selecting various options... Just integrate few of public mods, like optifine, make some appealing front end, and stop ruining the game with some useless features... Better make that API so users can write their stuff, they are better at it, anyways...

Sorry for being honest. Someone in their DEV team should really read something like this!
