The new Minecraft 12w25a snapshot is now available to download. It's another small update this week due to on-going bug fixes. New features include: new scan option to search for LAN servers, 3 more wooden stair types, villager trading tweaks and other minor improvements.

By the look of things, the Mojang team are doing overtime to get the local server running smoothly. It's just so memory intensive that even a single player game becomes painful on older computers. I don't think Jeb can justify releasing the official version of 1.3 with the performance problems that currently exist.

So while we wait for more progress towards 1.3, enjoy the latest snapshot..

Full list of features in 12w25a:



  • New menu option for opening single player worlds
  • Multiplayer menu screen now has an option to scan for other servers (using LAN)
  • Villagers will remove trade options if they're used too many times (3-15 times)
  • Remaining wooden stair types added (only available in creative mode)
  • Ender Chest no longer looses its contents when you respawn
  • Lots of smaller changes and bug fixes

In other news, Notch has just flown back from his business trip. Was this trip in preparation for the Minecon event in London that we've been waiting for? Let's hope so!
