• 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.

And some older patch notest that i missed:

Hey hey! We are currently working to get Minecraft 1.4 out around Halloween – the Pretty Scary Update! Until then, have the (near-)weekly snapshot, 12w36a:

• A new scary decoration block
• The “secret” from previous snapshots is now spawnable
• A new mob variant in the Nether
• Minor changes to the leather dyeing (the colors will attempt to maintain intensity and not dilute as much)
• The “work in progress block” is now called “Beacon” and can be crafted
• Carrot on a stick!
• Bug fixes

We decided to do a ‘b’ version of this week’s snapshot due to a number of bugs…

• Fixed item frame crashes
• Fixed nether portal stuff
• Changed recipes for buttons
• Minor armor gfx changes
• Tweaked the “hidden feature” (still not ready for release)

Minecraft Snapshot 12w34a

The recent two weeks Dinnerbone and I (jeb_) have worked a lot on new features, both our own and suggestions from the community. Before you ask, the API that will allow you to do your own features is waiting for a large restructuring of the render engine to be completed. I’ll write more about this in a future blog post.

So while you wait for that, here are the changes in this week’s snapshot:

• Added item frames
• Added cobblestone walls (yes, mossy too)
• Maps now align to a grid, making it easier to create adjacent maps. Maps can also be cloned
• Stairs now auto-arrange into corners. This is a test and may change based on feedback
• Mobs can travel through portals
• Leather clothes can be dyed
• Removed the “wip block” from the creative menu
• Added two new crops and associated items
• F3+P will toggle the auto-pause when the window loses focus (it’s for debugging, mainly)
• F3+H will toggle detailed item descriptions (also for debugging)
• Added arrow-sensitive wooden buttons
• Trapdoors can be placed in top-most position (based on cross-hair aim)
