You heard right, it's a double-feature today! The 1.5.2 Pre-Release, as well as the 13w17a Snapshot are now available for testing! So how does this work? You can get these files in one of two ways:
THE EASY WAY
Download the new experimental Minecraft launcher (Click here, and select the launcher for your OS), and select which version of Minecraft you want to play from the dropdown box - no extra installation or effort required!
THE TRADITIONAL WAY
13w17a Client Download
13w17a Server Download
Additionally, you can download the 1.5.2 pre-release by clicking here.

"Zombies can spawn more zombies"
Jeb yudodis and make the game more harder
At the Same time it was fun listening to music while muting the rest of the backround sounds.
Gee Whiz.
Make Deserts more Deserted. Like it always is. Lol
A change I've wanted for a long long time.
I find it a bit annoying because they eventually spam up your game and cause lag.
I hate it when zombies spawn every time I hit one. It should be more infrequent, as spawning them almost like silverfish can not only make it too challenging, but can lag someone's game due to the number of mobs spawned.
Actually, has Curse updated the client to reflect the new directory structure for MC in the latest snapshots?
(I can't check myself at the moment.)
Oh well, at least glad to see some annoying bugs fixed at the least.
