1.2.4

[Zuth]

Hello

While I (jeb_) was away at Game Developer’s Conference and a short vacation, the new Minecraft members Dinnerbone, Tahg, Grum and EvilSeph were hard at work fixing multiple bugs in Minecraft 1.2. The patch contains mainly bug fixes, but we also threw in a couple of goodies:

Chat history
Much better chat editing and controls (you can even mark text!)
Some new decoration blocks

The client should be updated in the launcher, where you also can see the full change list. You can find the launcher and server binaries for Minecraft here: http://www.minecraft.net/download

Cheers!

My first loading screen never loads so could someone post the full list?

EDIT:

These are the only things I've notices (New wooden planks)

List of changes:

Fixed:

• Made placing half blocks on existing half blocks (to make a full block) easier
• Limit framerate on menu screens, no longer uses 100% cpu and make my computer melt
• Fixed fatal crash for converted worlds to anvil, when there’s blocks at max height
• Fixed an old bug with signs clearing text while you’re editing them in SMP
• Fixed crash when logging in while there are blocks at maxheight at spawn
• Fixed TNT ghosts in multiplayer
• Fixed storage minecarts dropping enchanted items
• Fixed crashes on invalid server addresses when joining a server
• Fixed entities being uninteractable if they existed at login (Multiplayer)
• Fixed dupe exploit with paintings
• Fixed furnaces and dispensers dropping enchanted items
• Fixed the “flickering” of chat as it vanishes off the screen
• Fixed text rendering over items in the container screens
• Fixed exploit with jungle saplings (turns other saplings into jungle ones)
• Fixed launcher opening minecraft dir if the path contains a space
• Fixed an off-by-one lighting bug
• Fixed block transmuting (turning one block into another via pistons)
• Fixed placing mushrooms in daylight, where they can’t survive
• Fixed redstone lamps dropping powered block items when destroyed while on
• “save-all” (server) now works even when you have toggled “save-off”
• Fixed turning half-blocks into full-blocks while you’re standing on them
• Fixed seed displaying in F3 debug when the seed is unknown (multiplayer)
• Fixed villager texture changing clientside per profession
• Fixed falling off ledge corners while holding shift
• Fixed players falling when reconnecting to servers where they were previously flying

Added:

• Chat history and much better chat editing
• A few new decoration blocks
• “Back” and “Quit” buttons to OutOfMemoryScreen
• Made cats more realistic (read: probably annoying). I hope it’s enough to cancel out any joy you may receive from the previous feature!
• Added a “minimal” debug menu for testing with. Shift+F3 to hide the graphs.

This is just a short announcement to let you know that we are aware of this and are working on it as I type this. Please note: Minecraft 1.2.4 has bumped the protocol version, so it is incompatible with 1.2.3.

I like these new updates, not really seen many changes with the new cats apart from the fact they sit on beds and chests?

Thanks Matt

I only like the light and normal one. The others are ugly :\

I don't really see the point in multicolored wood planks but whatever. Maybe they could focus on something of better use.

A few new decoration blocks

Says there why they have added them, not the most biggest feature but extra colours isn't a bad thing.

Some designers may find it useful having different coloured blocks. I personally think this is one of the better ideas.

Are they randomly generated or come from certain trees?

@auffant1 They each come from a certain tree
