So here’s the new snapshot! This week got interrupted by the Swedish National Day, and we are focusing on finishing up stuff in order to release Minecraft 1.3. Also, we’re moving to our new office! Pics should be on this blog soon. So, in other words, this snapshot doesn’t have as many news as the previous weeks’, but here you go:

• Enchantment levels are slightly exponential again
• Added Ender Portal frame to creative inventory
• A lot of smaller changes and fixes

UPDATE: There was a bug that caused the game to crash when you “instant-destroyed” blocks with tools. For example when shearing leaves or removing crops with a hoe. This has been fixed, so the links above point to version “12w23b.”

• A lot of smaller changes and fixes.
• Texture Packs that are in folders and not in a zip file are recognized as a texture pack.
