Minecraft 12W30B UPDATE SNAPSHOT – CREEPER, TNT EXPLOSION KNOCKBACK – LESS LAGGY

It’s getting really close to 1.3 release time, checking that everything runs as expected is exceptionally important. Mojang’s plan is to release one or two snapshots, and then the 1.3 pre-release by Wednesday or Thursday. The pre-release is intended to be identical to the official release next week, in order to give modmakers and server admins a week’s head start. This is why Mojang needs to do a snapshot first, since they can’t do changes to the update after the pre-release is out.

This snapshot consists of all the bugfixes that Nathan (@dinnerbone) and Eric (@_grum) have been working on the last two weeks. Get it here:

Server: http://assets.minecraft.net/12w30b/minecraft_server.jar
