Sorry, no Minecraft Snapshot 12w20a this week
Posted in
minecraftJeb has confirmed that there won't be a snapshot this week because of a holiday in Sweden. This weeks snapshot would have been 12w20a but we'll have to wait until 12w21a next week. The good news is that when 12w21a does get released you can expect twice the number of new features.
We can forgive the Mojang team for having a day off once in a while, especially considering the amount of work they're putting into the game. So whilst we enjoy the current snapshot some more, what can we expect to see in the next snapshot - 12w21a?
Minecraft 12w21a Snapshot - New Features Expected
According to reports from the Minecraft team we should see these new features..
- Stackable buckets (behaves just like bottles)
- Boats will be more responsive in multiplayer (SMP)
- Lilly pads will not sink boats, you'll be able to swim through them too
- Performance improvements to local servers (less CPU and lag problems)
- More multiplayer commands for local servers
