Jeb has stated that Minecraft 1.2.5 will be pushed out on April 4th but he’s releasing a “prerelease” of it today. The game will not automatically update itself when you run it until the 4th, but you can choose to go ahead and update today to the exact version that will be pushed out later. Here’s a list of the changes:
Changelog:
- Added shift clicking support in furnaces
- Added method to easily acquire blocks you have selected in the world in Creative mode using the ‘pick block’ key
- Made the Direct Connect dialog remember the last IP for the current session
- Fixed issues detected certain links in chat
- Fixed wild ocelots behaving like tamed cats
- Fixed various chat crashes
- Made cats less eager to sit on things
- Made cats less patient
- Fixed world generation failing under certain circumstances
- Fixed issues turning off sound under certain circumstances
- Removed all ghost entities under the command of Lord Herobrine
- Fixed crash when pasting certain characters in chat
- Fixed slash ‘/’ key not behaving correctly in certain environments
- Fixed command matching being too greedy (for example: typing ‘/stophammertime’ no longer stops your server)
- Fixed not being able to click coloured links
- Fixed potential issue with village door detection (which could cause too many villagers)
- Made using a stack of bowls on Mooshrooms not consume the whole stack of bowls
- Made punching a TNT block with flint and steel in hand destroy and drop a TNT block (right-clicking will activate the TNT)
The two big benefits to this patch that I can see are the issues where people’s game would crash upon certain world generation and the pick-block key for creative mode.
The JOB server will remain running 1.2.4 until the patch is officially pushed out, though. If you’d like to update your client anyway and check out 1.2.5 or if you’re frustrated with some crashes you’re experiencing and just want a more stable release you can check out the Minecraft Blog post and download it!
