New Weekly Minecraft Snapshot 12w07a is out

0

New Weekly snapshot 12w07a is out and its packed full of new features! I havent checked this one out just yet, but looks pretty interesting.

 

 

Here are the new features.

  • Added new world file format called “Anvil” (256 max height and 4096 block IDs*)
  • Multi-player light calculations do no longer cause affected blocks to be transmitted to the clients, instead the clients will recalculate the light on their own
  • Villagers will repopulate villages based on how many houses there are available
  • Some nights in villages will be worse than others…
  • Added a redstone-controlled light source
  • Decreased chance for the rare mob drops
  • All animals use the new AI system now

Download it here.

Client: http://assets.minecraft.net/12w07a/minecraft.jar

Server: http://assets.minecraft.net/12w07a/minecraft_server.jar

 

If you havent downloaded Minecraft you can grab it here: www.minecraft.net/download

NOTE: This snapshot will convert the maps you load to the new file format. If you want to revert to the old format, you need to replace the “level.dat” file with the file called “level.dat_mcr”. The new format will write world regions to files called “*.mca”, so your original regions will remain as “*.mcr”.

This comes from the official mojang site here

Update: just downloaded the new snapshot, and converting my world file to anvil. Taking a while... but should be done by the time i have posted this, here is what it looks like ;).
